[under the personal command of Count Baltar, an enormous armada of Cylon raiders attacks the Colonial fleet]
Count Baltar : [from the command seat of a Cylon raider] This time, the Galactica hasn't a chance. Concentrate our fighters on the Galactica's landing bays! Her warriors won't be able to refuel, reload or land!
[Cylon raiders converge on the Galactica's Alpha flight bay and one breaks through the bay's force field and punches into the interior wall, exploding into a raging fire]
Flight Officer Omega : Fire in the bay.
Commander Adama : [expecting the worst] Damage report.
Flight Officer Omega : It's out of control. Alpha Bay is completely cut off.
[Cylon raiders blast away at the Galactica and the fleet's civilian ships as the Galactica's viper squadrons fight back]
Count Baltar : Continue leading her warriors away from the main fleet. They can't stay aloft using full battle thrusters for very long.
Cylon Centurion : A word of caution. We too are expending great amounts of fuel in a sustained attack.
[Baltar's raider joins a Cylon phalanx as it shoots down several vipers directly ahead]
Count Baltar : [smiling maliciously] Yes, but we have a place to land, they do not, or *will* not before long.
[the Galactica continues to take Cylon fire as the battlestar Pegasus, undetected by Cylon forces, is maneuvering into position]
Flight Officer Tolan : We are running parallel to the attacking Cylons on their rear flank, but the Galactica is reporting heavy damage to her landing bays.
[Commander Cain studies the main scanner]
Commander Cain : Bring her around sixty degrees. We're going in.

Captain Apollo : [going after them] Sheba! I would like to talk to you.
Lieutenant Sheba : [knowing only too well what this is about] I was just about to join my father...
Commander Cain : No, that's all right. Cassiopeia and I will save you a place.
Lieutenant Sheba : [emotional] Look, I don't feel that well, I think that I...
Captain Apollo : [places his hand on her shoulder] What happened out there? To those tankers?
Lieutenant Sheba : [speaking defensively] You heard the report, they were hit by incidental fire.
Captain Apollo : You're telling me that someone as good as you are, as good as Silver Spar Squadron is, blew the whole purpose of this mission out of the stars by accident?
Lieutenant Sheba : [eyes wet] Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Captain Apollo : Well, then we have found a witness or two, haven't we, Lieutenant?
[Apollo walks past Sheba, leaving her looking after him uncertainly]

Commander Cain : [over the intercom] Greetings, Adama, you old wardaggit. Might have known I'd find you and your fleet sitting dead on your astrums.
Commander Adama : [surprised] Cain... of all that's holy.
Commander Cain : [over the intercom] There's nothing holy about me, Adama. Except maybe what I'm doing to those golmonging Cylons.
Commander Adama : It's a miracle, Cain. A blessed miracle.
Commander Cain : [over the intercom] I make my own miracles. But have it your way. I'll be aboard in a few centons.
Commander Adama : I'll have some vintage Ambrosa for you.
Commander Cain : [over the intercom] I should think so.
Colonel Tigh : Commander, it's impossible. Cain perished along with the Fifth Fleet, two yahrens ago.
Commander Adama : Yes, Colonel, but that's the fabric of miracles - the impossible.

Count Baltar : How long before our fighters can return to defend us?
Lucifer : I'm afraid the Pegasus will reach us first.
Count Baltar : Then drop back. Let the other two base ships intercept the Pegasus.
Lucifer : I'm not sure the other base commanders will appreciate that.
Count Baltar : It isn't a request, it's an order.
[Baltar's base ship drops back while the battlestar Pegasus approaches the other two base ships]
Flight Officer Tolan : Two basestars coming up on range, sir. The third has fallen back behind them.
Commander Cain : That will be Baltar's ship! Plot a course between those two forward ships!
Flight Officer Tolan : It's getting a little sticky in there, sir.
Commander Cain : Arm all air-to-head missiles and bring electronic defense shields to maximum power!

Commander Cain : [speaking about Commander Adama] Well, how is he? How is that old Modocker?
Captain Apollo : [about Adama] Well, considering a load he's carried since the destruction of our nation.
Commander Cain : Yes, yes, I should imagine. And the rest of the fleet?
Captain Apollo : Only the Galactica survives, sir. Along with some 220 odd ships carrying what's left of our people.
Commander Cain : My God, and I thought we had it bad. Only 220 ships left from all the Colonies?
Captain Apollo : Yes, sir.
