Possibly Recovered?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and provocate that we haven't seen the last of this Raptor, nor its fate-sibling (Raptor 718). While the battle was chaotic and the Pegasus in dire straits, there isn't proof against a recovering "tug" of the two Raptors back into Pegasus while the rest of the fight was underway. Judging by the scene prior to the arrival of Cylon basestars, the distance from Pegasus to the two adrift Raptors wasn't that great, and it cannot be completely assumed that the two Raptors were abandoned. NATO military forces have this habit of going back into, or enduring, dire battle situations to recovered deceased members quite often. While we can speculate that the Raptor was lost, on account of the tremendous attack by the Cylons, we can equally speculate that it was actually recovered in spite of such an attack. -- Hawke 02:36, 21 February 2006 (EST)
