Cain is more interested in fighting the Cylons, seemingly oblivious to the point that she and the ships around her are all that was left of the human race, whose survival is more paramount than offensive assaults. While Adama initially welcomes such attacks against a mysterious Cylon force that followed the Fleet (to stop it from following them), his attitude begins to cool about Cain's very strict and unmerciful leadership.

	When the Cylons [[Fall of the Scorpion Fleet Shipyards\|attack the shipyards]], Cain is in her quarters, working out and going over efficiency reports. She makes it to CIC and immediately orders the battlestar unmoored. When the navigational computer is discovered to be offline and nuclear missiles are inbound, Cain orders a [[blind jump]] to escape certain destruction. With many of her crew dead and the destruction of the Twelve Colonies confirmed, she uses the ''Pegasus'' public address to inform the survivors while vowing to take revenge on the Cylons. However, in a private dinner with her XO [[Jurgen Belzen]], [[Jack Fisk]], Inviere and Shaw, she promises that she has no intention to unnecessarily waste lives or resources in an emotional quest for revenge.

	Shortly later, a Cylon communications relay is detected, which the crew believes to be an easy target. On arrival, one squadron of Vipers is launched. However, 15 squadrons of [[Cylon Raider (RDM)\|Raider]]s suddenly appear because, it turns out, the target is actually a Cylon staging area. XO Belzen urges Cain to recover their Vipers and retreat, but instead she seemingly forgets her earlier promise and orders the launch of all remaining fighters, which Belzen refuses to do in the face of such odds. Cain asks the XO for his side arm, and shoots him in the head with it in front of the crew. She then turned to Fisk, promotes him to XO, and orders him to launch the rest of the Vipers. Fearing for his life, he does so. At the same time, Inviere disables the main gun batteries and allows a group of [[Cylon Centurion]]s to board the ship, causing ~~maddny~~ deaths. Shaw reveals her as a Cylon agent in CIC and Cain orders her arrest. Inviere kills two marines and aims a gun at the helpless Cain, but hesitates to shoot her, showing that perhaps the Cylon's feelings for Cain are real. Before Inviere can make up her mind, Shaw knocks her out. ''Pegasus'' manages to win the [[Battle of the Communications Relay\|battle]], but with staggering losses.

	After the fatal assault of one of her crew members, Lieutenant Thorne, Cain arrests Chief [[Galen Tyrol\|Tyrol]] and Lieutenant [[Karl Agathon]] and has them flown to ''Pegasus'', against Adama's protests, since traditionally a trial is held on the ship where an incident has occurred.

Cain summarily court-martials the prisoners herself in a matter of hours, sentencing them to death. A displeased Commander Adama orders an assault crew to ''Pegasus'' to bring his men back.
