Summary

Episode 1

Release date: December 12, 2008
Running time: ~4:11

A blood-covered Felix Gaeta is in a Raptor adrift in deep space, nine days after the events of "Revelations". Flashbacks of a list of names being written on a pad, a Number Eight cutting into her palm, a pair of needle-nose pliers, and a struggle inside the Raptor segue to three days before (six days after "Revelations").

Over his protests, an exhausted Gaeta is ordered by Colonel Saul Tigh to take a week's leave aboard the Zephyr to recover. On his way to the hangar bay, Hoshi catches up with him in the hallway, gives him morpha for his pain, then kisses him goodbye, evincing a romantic relationship. Joining Gaeta on the flight are deckhand Brooks, two Number Eights, and the Raptor shuttle flight crew, Lt. J. "Shark" Finnegan and "Easy" Esrin.

With the Raptor 15 minutes away from the Zephyr, DRADIS picks up hostile Cylon contacts and the Fleet is forced to make an emergency jump. The Raptor completes its jump, but discovers that the Fleet is nowhere to be seen.

Episode 2

Release date: December 15, 2008
Running time: ~3:42

The Raptor crew is trying to communicate with any fleet ships. Brooks begins to pray to Poseidon and the pilot Eights retorts that they're "a long way from water." The FTL drive does not respond and they figure out that they have jumped beyond the red line due to an accidental glitch and have no way of getting back to the fleet. The pilot Eight exclaims that she didn't recognize the star patterns. The other Eight asks Felix if he recognizes her.

Aboard the Galactica, Hoshi is clearly worried for Felix. He asks Tigh for a Raptor and a pilot to go find the missing Raptor. It has been two days since the Raptor went missing. It turns out that the incoming Cylon fleet was just a false alarm, and the fleet had jumped back to the original coordinates. Tigh considers Hoshi's request and states that he will consult with Admiral Adama on the matter.

Back aboard the Raptor, the crew is trying to figure out how long they can stay alive. They only have a 20 1/2 hour air supply, so everyone must limit exertion and try to sleep to prolong the supply. Esrin points out that with low oxygen levels people will become dizzy, experience memory loss, and begin to act irrationally.
