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}}).

Coordinates [[Psionic|psionically divined]] by Countess [[Sephoni]] purported to be those of {{Alt|Earth|TOS-DE}} lead to the Colonial's introduction to the {{Alt|Cylon|TOS-DE|Cylons}}' [[super basestar]], a ship strong enough to eradicate {{Alt|the Fleet|TOS-DE|the rag-tag, fugitive fleet}}.

This marks the first encounter with the Cylons in two [[Yahren|yahrens]].

== Background ==
Cylons enact their plan to ensnare humanity by manufacturing [[psionic]] impressions of humans, which are sympathetically received by Countess [[Sephoni]] during her ten [[yahren]] separation from the {{Alt|the Fleet|TOS-DE|fugitive fleet}} ({{comics|doa|1}}-{{comics|doa|3|short=Y}}).

Following confirmation of these ersatz transmissions, Sephoni touches the mind of [[Xam]], a latent [[Delta-class telepath]] who languishes in a coma aboard the {{Alt|battlestar|TOS-DE}} ''{{Alt|Galactica|TOS-DE}}'' following the [[Storm Zone Ambush]] ({{comics|vol2|9}}, {{comics|doa|2}}). Arising from this communication, Xam relays the coordinates to her ship, ''[[Taurella]]'', to Captain {{Alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}} ({{comics|doa|1}}).

With Countess Sephoni and ''Taurella''<nowiki/>'s crew rejoining the Fleet, Commander {{Alt|Adama|TOS-DE}} authorizes an recon patrol to coordinates Sephoni believes are of Earth. This patrol is lead by his only surviving son, Major {{Alt|Apollo|TOS-DE}}, and two new {{Alt|Warrior|TOS-DE|Warriors}}, [[Zurel]] and [[Neats]].

== Action ==
As they enter orbit of a moon-size planetoid, Zurel reports a ping on his magnetic sensor—a {{Alt|Cylons|TOS-DE|Cylon}} [[super basestar]] with thousands of {{Alt|Raider|TOS-DE}}s in formation. Now aware of the trap they are ensnared, they attempt to flee.

Zurel is quickly destroyed, with Neats taking out two Raiders on Apollo's tail. Apollo orders Neats to hit her [[Turbo|turbos]] before she herself is overcome.

Apollo's contacts ''Galactica'' to report on the trap before his Viper receives damage, and falls towards the small planetoid ({{comics|doa|2}}).

== After-Action ==
The Cylons recover Apollo and nurse him back to health for unknown reasons, providing [[Rescue of Apollo|the opportunity for his rescue]] ({{comics|doa|3}}).
