- In the wake of Apollo's tragic fate, Starbuck secretly recruits Boomer, Athena and a few chosen others for a desperate and unsanctioned mission, but his reckless determination may be leaving the fleet vulnerable to Cylon attack. And the gathering Cylon threat is stronger and more insidious than ever before. Starbuck won't let anything stop him... not Adama, not the Cylons and not even common sense. Shocking drama and continuity-shaking military SF action from the acclaimed writer of Guardians of the Galaxy.[1]
Plot
- Continuing their rescue mission, Captain Starbuck instructs Sephoni and Athena to strike at the mass of Centurions hard as they start a firefight throughout the central hangar bay of the super basestar.
- After brief reparatee between Athena and the "incorrigible rogue" Starbuck, the infiltration group makes their way through the deck hoists. Hiding behind a console, the team recharges their slaser pistols and Sephoni obtains a clean read two decks down.
- Taking a maintenance ladder, Athena muses about the fate of the fighter screen.
- During the distracting dogfight around the basestar, Boomer saves Greenbean from an unshakable, pursuing Raider. The team regroups in a quad formation and then performs a multi-split in order to re-enage the fighter force.
- While Breena engages her cannons at full rate, Greenbean informs Sheba that two Raiders are at her back as she pursues a Raider in front of her. After dispatching it, she hits her braking jets and dispatches the other two.
- The celebration is short lived, as more Raiders from the super basestar approach the quartet.
- Skulking around the aforesaid basestar, Sephoni asks if there's a plan to escape, and Starbuck asks Athena to fill Sephoni in on the plan. After receiving Athena's permission to read her mind, Sephoni learns that it hinges on her ability to divine the codes.
