	In protest of the declaration by ''Galactica'', groups of civilians band together, and refuse to resupply the battlestar with needed supplies. Rather than negotiate, Colonel Tigh sends a stern warning after receiving ill advice from his wife, that he should be more authoritative. Still refusing to resupply the battlestar, Tigh orders marine strike teams to board the ships, and take the supplies by any means necessary.
