Summary[edit]
- DiMarco tells of the events preceding Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero 0, particularly of the Colonial Fleet ordering the bombing of a separatist settlement disguised by the bombing of several other areas. Later DiMarco learns from his Fleet liaison that upon returning to Colonial space, he and his crew would be prosecuted by the Colonial Justice System.
- After organizing a crew vote, DiMarco deliberately crash landed the ship so they could live on the planet. The Cylons arrived several hours later.
- Adama becomes enraged at DiMarco's fatalism, stating that the DiMarco he knew would have tried to clean the system. DiMarco replies that cleaning the system is impossible, before remarking that he knows what matters while Adama does not.
- Adama has a flashback to when Lee and Zak came to his military office on leave, inviting him to take some time off at a cabin. After commenting on Zak's simulator scores, Lee becomes enraged at Adama, who tries to reschedule the trip later the next week. Lee and Zak leave, ending the flashback.
- A Raptor arrives, bringing Byron Dane, apparently the only survivor fro the settlement. Dane assumes that DiMarco and his crew are military, which he denies. Dane becomes convinced DiMarco bombed the settlement under orders of President Adar, but Adama defuses the situation by blaming the Cylons.
- On Galactica, Tigh deploys two Raptors, one piloted by Karl Agathon. Tigh stresses the importance of the mission before the Raptors jump.
- On the planet, Adama and DiMarco talk, eventually leading to Adama relating the events of Hero. Several seconds later, they are attacked by a new Raider, which fires missiles before strafing with gunfire. Adama and a marine supply cover fire while the Raptor tries to take off. The pilot decides to make an FTL jump after the Raider gets a weapons lock.
- The Raider pursues the Raptor, which jumped to higher altitude and damages it with its guns. The crew bail out before the Raptor explodes, while the Raider is destroyed by the two Raptors from Galactica. Some time later, Adama departs after providing DiMarco's crew with supplies, bring Dane with them.
- One week later, Adama is in a meeting with several members of the Admiralty, going over his after action report. Adama threatens to go public with the colony bombing and the encounters with the Cylons if court martialed.
- Back on Galactica, Adama sits in his quarters and has a flashback to fight between him and his wife over Zak's death. Tigh enters and asks about his meeting, which resulted in Adama getting in his usual amount of trouble. Tigh asks about Adama's motives in letting DiMarco's crew stay behind. Adama says that it was because of the Valkyrie's mission and Bulldog.
- As Tigh leaves, Adama recieves a call from his wife stating that she's filing for divorce. At the same time, a Raptor lands on Galactica, bringing Felix Gaeta, Kara Thrace, and some other personnel aboard.
