* During the speech, when Adama reflects on the last encounter with the {{Alt|Cylons|TOS-DE}} being over [[7356 (alternate)|two yahrens ago]], a teenage {{Alt|Boxey|TOS-DE}} (alongside {{Alt|Muffit|TOS-DE}}) pledges to pass his Warrior's exam and hopes that "there had better ''still'' be [[clankies]] to fight." | * During the speech, when Adama reflects on the last encounter with the {{Alt|Cylons|TOS-DE}} being over [[7356 (alternate)|two yahrens ago]], a teenage {{Alt|Boxey|TOS-DE}} (alongside {{Alt|Muffit|TOS-DE}}) pledges to pass his Warrior's exam and hopes that "there had better ''still'' be [[clankies]] to fight." | ||
*Adama ends his speech with reiterating the same pledge he made ten yahrens earlier, to find {{Alt|Earth|TOS-DE}} and therefore their salvation. | |||
*Everyone celebrates, while Adama orders {{Alt|Tigh|TOS-DE}} to assemble a briefing be held in short order. | |||
*En route, {{Alt|Athena|TOS-DE}} hugs Adama and asks him if he's up for a briefing, and Adama reaffirms that he is not yet an elderly man. | |||
*Apollo and {{Alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}} make their way to the briefing room. En route, Starbuck comments on Adama's visible fatigue, to which Apollo notes that the journey has been a hard one and arthritis plagues him. Starbuck engages in his dalliance that he will live forever and transcend to be one with the universe, and that Apollo will also live forever as a result of Starbuck's immortality as anything else would result in Starbuck becoming awfully lonely. | |||
*Apollo enters the briefing room, while Starbuck receives a call on his communicator outside from Doctor {{Alt|Salik|TOS-DE}}, who asks if he's coming down to life sciences today. Starbuck replies that he does so every day, but he is urgently called away, and excuses himself. | |||
*Adama reflects that Starbuck is both a boy and "an idiot," and Apollo rebukes the comment. After a briefly heated exchange, Adama instructs {{Alt|Omega|TOS-DE}} to omit the exchange from the log, which the officer already had done. | |||
*Athena proposes [[Psionic|psionic divination]] as a means for finding Earth's location, which raises Tigh's ire. Apollo advises his sister to not push them on any other radical ideas, noting that they are "old school." | |||
*Starbuck reports to life sciences, where he finds Doctor [[Madusa]] waiting. She informs him that Salik called her for a consult, and they discuss [[Xam]]'s condition; Starbuck has visited Xam every day for the past seven yahrens. | |||
