	* [[Recon Probe Delta]], which consists of a two-man [[Viper (1980)\|Viper]] crewed by Captain [[Kanon]] and Lieutenant [[Briton]], is on patrol when it picks up a slow-moving object. Kanon orders a scan, which reveals details that point to a [[Cylons (1980)\|Cylon]] craft. Another more detailed scan shows up on the [[warbook]], which quickly reveals the craft as a Cylon fighter. It is heavily-armed and larger than a [[Raider (TOS)\|pursuit craft]].		* [[Recon Probe Delta]], which consists of a two-man [[Viper (1980)\|Viper]] crewed by Captain [[Kanon]] and Lieutenant [[Briton]], is on patrol when it picks up a slow-moving object.

	* Briton reports that it's also much faster, as the ship is now approaching them. Kanon orders him to raise ''[[Galactica (1980)\|Galactica]]'', [[Priority Red]]. Before he can do so, Briton visually sights the ship coming at them. The Viper manages to evade the advanced Cylon fighter's volleys. Briton tells Kanon that they're not even close to the ship and they must find out what's inside so they can tell ''Galactica''.		* Briton reports that it's also much faster, as the ship is now approaching them.

They are summarily disappointed when the creature stumbles then falls over.		* Troy tells the children they have to leave, which meets with protests.

	* At an Air Force operations center, Major [[Harvey Jensen]] is on the phone to Colonel [[Briggs]]. He tells Briggs that an object of unknown origin or purpose is coming down; Briggs comments that it is "[[Skylab]] all over again". Briggs says to keep a lid on it for he'll have "50 reporters on my back" if he doesn't, but it is too late for that, since it is on every observatory's scopes. Briggs asks if Jensen is sure that it isn't an American satellite. Jensen assures him he's positive and that the current "odds-on guess around here is that it's Russian".		* At an Air Force operations center, Major [[Harvey Jensen]] is on the phone to Colonel [[Briggs]].

	* Briggs is more relieved to hear that, since he would rather explain a Russian mistake than an American one. Jensen dampers Briggs elation, saying that the "worst is yet to come": the object is headed straight for the middle of New York.		* Briggs is more relieved to hear that, since he would rather explain a Russian mistake than an American one.

	* They board the plane. Dillon remarks that it looks comfortable. A [[stewardess]] greets them, tears off their ticket stubs, and points them to Row 14, seats B and C.

	* As the Warriors buckle in, they are told about the oxygen masks dropping from the overhead compartment. As these instructions are demonstrated by the flight attendant, Dillon remarks that he's not used to other people flying and hopes they are good. Dillon then asks Troy if he thinks that they'd let him take the controls for a while. He replies he wouldn't even let him. He hands a dejected Dillon a pamphlet on New York, telling him to review it.		* As the Warriors buckle in, they are told about the oxygen masks dropping from the overhead compartment.

	* Flight 2 lifts off. In mid-flight, Troy is asleep while Dillon is reading. The couple in the cabin's middle seats look silently at each other, then around the cabin. The "wife" hands the baby to the "husband" and makes way to the back of the plane to retrieve the baby carriage. In a seat over to his right, the hijacker puts the baby down on the chair next to him: the baby is a doll.		* Flight 2 lifts off. In mid-flight, Troy is asleep while Dillon is reading.

	* From the carriage, the hijackers begin assembling a gun. After the gun is assembled, the "wife" rips of his wig and they take the stewardess (who was handing out earphones) hostage. The "husband" aims the gun at the crowd, telling the passengers to remain calm and are taking the airplane to [[w:Cuba\|Cuba]], which Dillon looks up. Troy says they don't have time to go there and Dillon moves to get his laser, but Dillon tells him that they might get somebody hurt by going gun-ho on them. Troy surmises that the deployment of the oxygen masks must act on some sort of electrical impulse.		* From the carriage, the hijackers begin assembling a gun.

	* Andromus tells Norman and Shirley that he is grateful for their assistance. In response to a question posed about where they are headed, Andromus replies they are headed toward the "large population center'. She notes that he even talks like he looks, adding that she wishes [[Mildred]] and [[Arnie]] can see the two Cylons. Norman replies in the negative.

	* She then continues her conversation with Andromus, saying that she knows that they'll have a terrific time there. Everyone will be there, she says, even Wolfman. In response to his question about Wolfman, she turns the radio on to one of his broadcasts, where he is introducing the song "[[Disco Inferno]]". She finally introduces herself and Norman, who is the general manager of the [[WQSL\|station]] they're listening to. Norman adds that it's 150,000 watts, boasting that "on a good night, they can hear us in the next galaxy".
