*Colonel {{ | *Colonel {{alt|Tigh|TOS-DE}} alerts Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS-DE}} that surveillance probes they had left on [[Maytoria]] reveal a newly-created ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS-DE}}''-specific distress signal from the planet. While Tigh is hopeful, Adama is cautious, knowing it unlikely that either [[Colonial Warrior]] would reveal that newer code to the Cylons, but still wary. Adama chooses not to do anything as turning back for the two could jeapardize the {{TOS|The Fleet|Fleet}}. | ||
*On Maytoria, the remains of the human population storm the Cylon loading platform, trying to hold off or destroy waves of {{TOS|Centurion|Centurion}} platoons.

*Counting their blessings, Starbuck and Boomer commiserate that they hadn't find any data on {{TOS|Earth|Earth}} when Stadra enters with a downloaded databank of Maytoria's central library with data that might be salvation for humanity.
