- Starbuck and Athena have refused to accept that Apollo is gone, and their unsanctioned mission to prove that he survived has led to catastrophic consequences for the Fleet. After years of silence, the Cylons have found humanity again, and are closing in greater numbers than ever before to complete the extinction of mankind.[1]
Plot
- With the ambush in progress, Major Apollo and Captain Athena are directing the deployed Viper screens against the onslaught of the Cylon Raiders. While Apollo orders Atrius Cargo to pull in tighter for better protection, Athena vainly coordinates the defense of the ill-fated Taurus Axillon. With Axillon gone, Athena redirects forces to cover Raxis.
- Colonel Tigh and Commander Adama discuss the situation near the wall map, with Adama reflecting that the Cylons have them cold.
- Captain Starbuck appraises the situation from his Viper: Raiders are pushing down the center of the Fleet, while hybrid missile carriers attack the Fleet's tanker formations.
- Starbuck is told no more Vipers are available, to which he adamantly advocates for an offensive strike against the basestar, otherwise the Fleet will be destroyed.
- Athena relents to the request, advocating moving three Viper screens to attack the basestar to Adama. Adama refuses on the basis of the basestar being virtually impervious, thus making any offensive Viper run futile.
