Reeling from the apparent death of Major {{Alt|Apollo|TOS-DE}} and [[Encounter of the Super Basestar|the reappearance of the Cylon threat]], Commander {{Alt|Adama|TOS-DE}} forbids any recovery effort for either Apollo or his remains. With the awesome threat posed by the {{Alt|Cylons|TOS-DE}}' newest capital ship, dubbed the "[[super basestar]]" with its phalanxes of {{Alt|Raider|TOS-DE}}s, Adama and the Colonials of {{Alt|the Fleet|TOS-DE|the rag-tag, fugitive fleet}} must continue to press on.

A grieving and intoxicated Captain {{Alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}} threatens to kill Sephoni in her brig aboard ''{{Alt|Galactica|TOS-DE}}'' before being tranquilized by security ({{comics|doa|2}}). Adama and Starbuck discuss Apollo's fate and the need to press onward, during which Adama elicits a promise from Starbuck to not mount any rescue attempt ({{comics|doa|3}}).

Captains {{Alt|Athena|TOS-DE}} and {{Alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}}, with fellow conspirators [[Breena]], {{Alt|Boomer|TOS-DE}}, {{Alt|Greenbean|TOS-DE}} and {{Alt|Sheba|TOS-DE}}, make plans to use the {{Alt|Cylon transport|TOS-DE}} flanked by four {{Alt|Viper|TOS-DE|Vipers}}. Under the guise of a recon patrol, Boomer fills out a request for said patrol and Athena authorizes it. Also in the log is the scuttling of the Cylon transport, with Starbuck allegedly planning to abandon the ship in {{Alt|the Fleet|TOS-DE}} wake, rigging it as a mine for any would-be Cylon pursuers ({{comics|doa|3}}).

Starbuck recruits Countess [[Sephoni]], herself wanting to make recompense for being deceived, for her abilities as a [[psionic]] divining rod to ensure that [[Xam]]'s message relaying {{Alt|Apollo|TOS-DE}}'s status and location is genuine. Now that Sephoni is able to discern between Cylon psionic misinformation versus the genuine article, she confidently confirms Xam's divination.
 
Athena, Starbuck and Sephoni board the Cylon transport and launch, escorted by Vipers piloted by the quartet of Warrior conspirators. While Sephoni is able to divine the proper access codes that allow the transport to dock, the quartet of Vipers reveal themselves from an asteroid field, engaging the Cylons so as to divert their attention ({{comics|doa|3}}).
 
After running-and-gunning through the hangar bay, the trio of infiltrators come across Apollo hooked into a medical apparatus. Sephoni and Starbuck accesses the ship's system, as the system is unified and can be controlled from any terminal, rigging various alarms that indicate a critical failure of the main reactor.
 
The trio extricate Apollo, exfiltrating via the cargo-hoist to reach their exfiltration transport. Without taking any losses, the recovery group return to ''Galactica'' to be dressed down by an otherwise grateful Commander Adama ({{comics|doa|4}}).

Apollo is examined by Doctors {{Alt|Salik|TOS-DE}} and [[Madusa]] and is found to no longer be medically fit to fight in the front lines. He is relegated to duty in [[Core Command]] as a command operative ({{comics|doa|4}}—{{comics|doa|5|short=Y}}).
