A day in the life aboard Galactica... as seen through the eyes of two of the smallest characters aboard: Boxey and his Daggit! What is life like for an innocent boy growing up in the strange, dangerous, exciting and often lonely world? An unusual and compelling take on life on the Galactica!

Plot

• Boxey and Muffit are playing in a section of Galactica's engineering section, with Boxey playing as a Colonial Warrior and Muffit playing a Cylon.
• Colonel Tigh and two officers come across them, with Tigh admonishing Boxey for using the "grown-up word" pogees. Boxey replies that Starbuck uses the word, which reinforces Tigh's view of being all the more reason for Boxey not to use it.
• After Boxey apologies for using the word, Tigh asks that Boxey and Muffit play elsewhere, noting both tylium radiation and containment failures that may happen in the engineering section. When asked where else would be safe to play, Tigh meekly suggests that Boxey is sure to find somewhere else to play.
• With Boxey and Muffit out of ear shot, Tigh confides in Erikson that he didn't know how to answer the question. Erikson agrees.
• Boxey and Muffit continue to run through Galactica's corridors, inevitably reaching Athena's quarters.
• When Boxey notes that they're bored and would like her to play a game with her, Athena replies that she's due on duty. They cannot accompany her, but she believes they'll find somewhere else to play.

Notes

Publication Releases

• A version of this issue, the Battlestar Galactica #12 Exclusive Subscription Variant, released in December 2013. Per the publisher:

  A super-special, exclusive Ken Haeser "Li'l BSG" cover, only available to comic shop subscribers and limited to initial orders!

Timeline

• The events of this comic take place shortly after Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #11.

Nods

• Boxey's confusion regarding Athena's disposition as a Colonial Warrior, as well as the distinction on whether or not a Warrior hinges on flying a Viper, is perhaps an understandable thing considering that Athena's roles seem to change depending from episode-to-episode.
  • In "Saga of a Star World," she is a shuttle pilot and core command operative. Later, in "Lost Planet of the Gods," she is trained with other shuttle pilots (all conspicuously female), and then later isn't seen in a Viper again. Her last appearance in "Greetings from Earth" is that of an educator of young children, used to shoehorn educational beats and exposition regarding alleged visitors from Earth.
