During the destruction unleashed on the city of [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol#Caprica|Caprica]], Education Secretary [[Laura Roslin]] asks the [[Colonial One captain|captain]] of her [[Intersun|starliner]], ''[[Colonial Heavy 798]]'' to contact the [[Colonial Ministry of Defense|Ministry for Civil Defense]] to ask what they could do to help in the crisis.

The captain alerts Roslin to a successful communications link with someone on Caprica. Roslin speaks with '''Jack''', presumed to be a government official as he is aware of key events that have occurred in the wake of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack on the Colonies]].

:'''Jack''': "Thank god you're not here, Laura. Thank god! I've never seen anything like it!"
:'''Laura Roslin''': "Jack... where is the president?"
:'''Jack''': "... there's people wandering the streets..."
:'''Roslin''': "Where is the [[Richard Adar|president]], Jack?... is he alive?"
:'''Jack''': "I don't know.. I think so... we hear all kinds of things."
:'''Roslin''': "Have the Cylons made any demands? Do we know what they want?"
:'''Jack''': "No...no contact, I'm pretty sure about that..."
:'''Roslin''': "Has anyone discussed... has anyone discussed the possibility of surrender? Has it been considered?"
:'''Jack''': "After [[Picon (RDM)|Picon]] was nuked, the president offered a complete unconditional surrender. The Cylons didn't even respond!"

With that, the captain of the transport interrupts Roslin with news from Captain {{callsign|Lee Adama}} (flying escort in [[William Adama|his father's]] old restored [[Viper 7242|Viper]]) of a Cylon incoming missile. Jack is never heard from again in the miniseries, nor does Roslin speak again with any other surviving government officials. Later, Roslin is appointed to the office of the President of the Twelve Colonies by [[Case Orange|emergency succession]] {{TRS|Miniseries, Night 1}}.

== Notes ==
In an early draft of the miniseries, Jack is apparently another secretary in the [[Government of the Twelve Colonies|Colonial government]].
