Plot Synopsis
In this issue, Adama enters the "Memory Machine" in an attempt to recall the location of Earth. In the meantime, Sire Uri plots to take over the Council of Twelve in his absense.
Marvel Continuity
At the end of issue #5, is is the place where Marvel continuity breaks with the series. Instead of heading out of the void at the end of the episode, followed by Serina's deathbed sequence on the Galactica, issue #5 ends with Serina dying on the surface of Kobol. While this at first appears to be poetic shorthand, in issue #6 we open with the Galactica heading deeper into the void - a void which does not end just beyond Kobol but that continues on for a much greater distance. In fact, the storyline continues with the fleet continuing its journey through the void until issue #14.
Another departure involves Adama's attempt to recollect the information about the location of Earth that he saw inscribed on a wall just before Cylons bombed Kobol. In order to try and remember this information, Adama dons a spacesuit and enters a clear globe filled with gas called the "Memory Machine" which is supposed to help one revive memories. Adama remains inside the machine until issue #12. (It should be noted that this device was a noticable constraint on the writers).
All issues of the Marvel comics from issue 6 forward are not based on any episodes of the series.
