After Captain [[Lee Adama]] text messages Starbuck over [[wireless]] aboard a ''Pegasus'' Raptor, her ship only showing up on [[DRADIS]] due to her reply transmission being detected. Both [[battlestar]]s and their respective Viper squadrons read the Blackbird as a Cylon (the Blackbird is either not equipped with a Colonial transponder or had disabled it for the unauthorized recon mission). The two opposing groups join forces to engage the "real" enemy, but Starbuck succeeds in confirming her identity before the Vipers fire upon the Blackbird. | ||
