| == Overview ==
| |
| | |
| : ''A human sleeper ship found drifting in space is brought aboard ''Galactica'', leading to argument and debate on whether to awaken its occupants. Their ship is eventually escorted by Apollo, Starbuck, and Cassiopeia to the planet Paradeen—embroiled in a bitter war with the Eastern Alliance.''
| |
| | |
| == Summary ==
| |
| * [[Adama (TOS)|Adama]] indicates that [[The Fleet (TOS)|the Fleet]] is following the heading given by the [[Beings of Light]] (at the end of "[[War of the Gods, Part II]]"), hoping to find [[Earth]].
| |
| | |
| * [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] encounter a [[Lunar Avion|sublight spacecraft]] while on deep patrol. There are six life forms detected, but life support on the craft appears to be minimal.
| |
| | |
| * Rampant speculation that the craft may be from Earth forces Adama to make an announcement attempting to stop the rumors, and ask for the people of the Fleet to wait as the ship is towed aboard [[Galactica (TOS)|''Galactica'']] and quarantined.
| |
| | |
| * Once the spacecraft is aboard, Apollo worries about how safe it is for them to mess with it. [[Wilker|Dr. Wilker]], eager to board the ship, assures them that it isn't a bomb. Adama fears contaminating the spacecraft with their presence, but on [[Salik|Dr. Salik]]'s reccomendation they board the ship.
| |
| | |
| * Inside they find a man, a woman, and four children in some sort of stasis tubes. Dr. Salik is reluctant to remove the people from the equipment, as they lack the knowledge to operate it. Dr. Wilker suggests choosing one to experiment with, but is overruled by Adama and Apollo. The doctors are left alone in the spacecraft, but with strict orders from Adama not to risk the lives of the unconcious crew.

| |
| | |
| *Why do the doors in Michael and Sarah's home on [[Paradeen]] make the same door chime as Galactica's doors?

| == Notes ==

| | |
| *Originally aired as a special two hour presentation. Broken into two parts for syndication.
| |
| | |
| *The destroyed city on Paradeen was filmed in Montréal. The prefab buildings left over from Expo '67 fell apart in the harsh Canadian winters. What remained made perfect futuristic ruins.
