Quotes
-
[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.

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!
