Plot
The Returners break the quarantine imposed on Medivac 12 and return to the Fleet, only to spread a virus that has incapacitated a majority of the Fleet's survivors. Meanwhile, terrorist attacks by the Earth Protectorate imperil the Fleet and its search for Earth.
Summary
- Fifteen minutes prior to the end of issue 1, Anastasia Dualla meets Darrin Dualla in Galactica's brig. Darrin explains how he got to Galactica via the zip pod and asks after their parents. A tearful Anastasia replies that her parents never had a chance to leave their planet when the Cylons attacked.
- Anastasia falls to the ground, unconscious and sickly-looking. Darrin yells to the Marines to help, unable to help her himself because he is shackled to the table.
- Commander Adama notifies the Fleet that they have been hit by a virus, which affects 80% of the people that it comes in contact with. Adama decrees that the virus is the result of the Returners and offers an ultimatum: turn over the Returners or they (and those harboring them) will be hunted down after an hour. Adama vows that after that, said Returners and those harboring them will be hunted down and exterminated, like criminals and traitors.
- A member of the Earth Protectorate burns through Galactica's hull and hoists in a Returner: Zak Adama. In exchange for payment from a group of Returner worshippers, the terrorist hands Zak over to them. The leader of this group of robed people tells Zak that they are lead by a dying leader and to prepare himself for what is to come. They rapidly succumb to the virus.
- A highly concerned Zak summons help. It comes in the form of Lee Adama, who berates Zak, telling him to get away from the dying people. Zak is happy to see his brother, in return Lee aims his gun at Zak, calling him a Cylon.
- From Colonial One, Laura Roslin talks to Commander Adama. Adama informs her that more than 80% of his crew and pilots are infected with the virus. He tells her that if the Cylons should attack, she and other uninfected and functioning ships will have to jump.
- Roslin asks after Zak. Adama replies that Lee has "the Cylon" and that he'll be interrogated, studied and then exterminated. She interrupts him, informing him that 10,000 people haven't been infected with the virus. She then asks if Adama remembers sand cats. He replies that he does, commenting that they were beautiful animals, and the conversation ends.
- Adama tells Colonel Tigh about the sand cats. Adama relates to the fact that because there were so few sand cats that repopulated the species out of extinction levels, they all died out when they were infested with lung parasites; conversely, these same parasites infected only 5% of the tree lion population. He compares this to the human race's predicament and the need for more people in order to increase their chances of survival as a species. Tigh scoffs this, saying that Roslin's "more of an idiot than I thought".
