- There is peace between the Colonial Fleet and the Cylons, but calling it tenuous doesn't even begin to describe it. Mortal enemies must fight side by side against a grave threat just to stay alive. Can this treaty be trusted and for how long? The Battlestar Galactica continues its journey through uncharted space... And its strangest adventure yet![1]
Plot
The Fleet
- Jolly and his fellow Warriors are in a fierce battle with the Meclons, and are having issues coordinating their strategies with their Cylon allies.
- Jolly's pursuing Meclon attacker is dispatched by a Cylon, and recollects that he would never have thought a day would occur where he'd be thanking a Cylon.
- Aboard Galactica, Tigh discovers that differentiating between the Cylons and the Meclons is difficult; Lucifer suggests the term "Meclon" from Cylon cautionary myths, much to Tigh's astonishment.
- Baltar offers his assistance in uploading programming to Viper navigational systems to the Warriors, which will allow them to better interact with their Cylon comrades. Baltar also offers to help uncover any Meclon programming from their recently acquired Meclon Raiders. Tigh begrudgingly agrees, and orders crew to escort Baltar to the hangar—with additional orders to shoot Baltar should he go awry.
- Starbuck, Sheba, and Boomer launch in their own Vipers to join the battle. Jolly voices his relief at their involvement with the battle. Boomer voices his thought about the Cylon losses on their side, believing it to be one less enemy to fight in the future; Sheba replies that it's the other way around, it's one less ship defending their Fleet.
- In Galactica's life center, Apollo visits Adama and, under the supervision of Dr. Salik and Cassiopeia, reaches out to his father with his own mental powers.
Adama's Mind
- Apollo finds himself in Galactica's life center, surrounded by beds filled with naked human bodies.
- Exiting the center, he finds himself in a Meclon factory, where Adama and Iblis await him. Apollo pulls out his laser pistol, and despite Iblis protestations on its ineffectiveness, Apollo fires. Iblis laughs, and retaliates against Apollo, but too finds that bit of retaliation ineffective.
- Apollo espouses that, because Iblis had killed him previously and is thus no longer afraid of Iblis' power, he was immune to the attack. Iblis disappears upon Apollo's approach to him, and Apollo absconds from the dream state with his insistent father, going out through the medbay from which Apollo came.
Galactica
- Adama awakens in the real world,
Notes
- Breaking from previous issues, neither this issue nor its succeeding ones feature the Battlestar Galactica logo and alternate title placement on the first story page, e.g. "In the Beginning" or "Snake in the Garden."
Timeline
- The events of this comic take place after the Battle at Galaxy's Edge depicted in "The Hand of God."
Incongruences
- The spelling of the word frack is written like its Re-imagined Series counterpart.
- Vipers are seen launching from a side bay, instead of launch tubes.
Nods
- The Re-imagined Series featured an alliance between a sect of Cylons and The Fleet against another sect of Cylons bent on wiping out humanity, led by a vengeful person.
Analysis
Questions
Noteworthy Dialogue
- Starbuck demonstrates his trademark bravado upon joining the battle:
- Starbuck: Help is leaving the hangar right now!
- Sheba: You might be overselling us a bit, Starbuck. There are only three of us, and there's an entire fleet of those Meclon ships.
- Starbuck: When I joined the Colonial Warriors, I was told one man could make a difference!
