Ordinance handling on the forward hangar deck.
No open flame or spark permitted until further notice.
Hey, you put your boots out ?
Ran into the commander while I was doing it.
Frak. What did he say ?
He took one look at my bare feet and said, "What do you hear, Husker ?"
- "Nothing but the rain, sir !" - "Grab your gun and bring the cat in."
Boom, boom, boom.
Attention, all hands. Set material condition constellation.
Radiological warfare procedures are now in effect.
Hey, take it easy.
You're gonna do fine.
Three radar wings, ground forces, defensive batteries.
All to defend a chunk of ice in the ass-end of nowhere.
Toasters must think it's pretty important.
Yeah, well, rumour is they're building some kind of superweapon or something.
I heard they were negotiating. Trying to reach a peace settlement.
Yeah. I think I heard that one too.
But if you think about it, why would they surrender ? They're frakking machines.
Shoot one down, they just build more.
I remember when the war started, I was still in school.
I never thought I'd get out here in time to get a shot at 'em.
You will.
My first engagement, one of their fighters lined up on me.
Had me dead to rights.
Next thing I know, our Raptor's blowing through a cloud of debris.
Their debris.
I looked down and realised my thumb was on the trigger.
My training just kicked in, you know ?
Yours will too.
- Raptor squadron two at the ready. - That's my cue, Billy Adama.
See you tonight, rook.
Hey. Just cos I've never flown in combat doesn't make...
Division three to launch station.
Sector one, drop shift. All flight squadron pilots to their aircraft.
- What happened ? - Raptors got jumped.
They took out two before they made it. Come on, let's get outta here.
Jaycie. Jaycie !
- Jaycie ! - Billy.
Is that you ? The console blew up in my face.
I can't feel anything.
Am I OK ?
Just tell me.
Am I OK ?
Yeah, you're good. Couple of days' break in the sickbay, you'll be good as new.
You're a lousy bluffer.
But I forgive you.
You'd better watch your ass out there. There must be hundreds of those frakkers.
Husker, come on. Let's go.
You're gonna be OK, Jaycie, I promise. You hang in there.
Go kick some toaster ass for me, OK ?
Just go.
Come on, rook. Get your ass in the cockpit.
Just go.
Go.
"Galactica" Husker. Are you there ?
Husker, do you read ?
Husker ?
Galactica Husker reading you loud and clear.
Let's do this.
Viper 1104, clear forward. Nav com green.
Interval check, thrust positive then steady. Adama, prepare to launch.
Husker, Banzai. Godsdammit, where are you ?
I got 'em, Banzai. Break left on my mark.
Now ! Break, break, break !
Husker, Banzai. Form up and regroup with the squadron.
Banzai, Husker. Looks like "Columbia's" defences are down.
All Vipers, this is Banzai. "Columbia" needs our help. Let's go clean house.
Check your nine, there's two headed for the midship's defence zone.
Driving a hard right turn. I'm right behind them now.
I got him. I got this one covered.
Whoa ! I got him ! I got him !
Go get him, Adama. He's all yours.
This frakker's mine.
- Smashed one flying toaster. - Clear "Columbia" airspace.
All clear. Break clear right frakking now !
"Columbia's" gone ! Oh, my gods, "Columbia's" gone !
Gods !
I got two bandits turning tail. Husker pursuing.
Are you crazy ? Form up. This is no time to go after them. Don't be a hero.
Got you.
Where are you, frakker ?
Come on. Come on.
Come on, motherfrakker.
All of this has happened before and will happen again.
Is someone in there ?
Help us. Help us. They left us here.
Don't leave us here, please.
I'm gonna get you out of there.
Is someone in there ?
Help us. Help us. They left us here.
Don't leave us here, please.
I'm gonna get you out of there.
We're civilians.
They jumped our convoy, they destroyed our escort, took us all prisoner.
There were 50 of us, but they've been taking us away one by one.
We could hear the others screaming.
We didn't know what was happening. But, please, you've got to get us out of here.
I'm trying.
The door must be welded shut.
- What's happening ? - I don't know. Feels like a quake.
The place is starting to come apart.
Argh !
I got it.
It's still stuck. I can't open it any wider.
You gotta go. You gotta go. You gotta go get help.
- I'll stay here. - No, you can't do it by yourself. Just go !
Tell them what happened to us. Our ship was the Diana. From Gemenon.
Just tell them. If you stay here you'll be trapped like us.
Go!
Go! Go! Save yourself!
Go!
Go ! Go ! Save yourself !
Go !
Galactica, Husker.
Galactica, this is Husker. Do you copy ?
Roger that. Report status.
I crashed on the surface.
They were making something down here,
experimenting on people. They're getting away with what they built.
Husker... Husker, the war is over.
What ? Galactica, repeat !
The war is over. An armistice was just signed.
Activate your beacon and we'll send you the "Starbird".
Husker, respond.
Husker, respond. Do you copy ?
Commander.
Commander Adama. I got some great news, sir.
You son, Captain Adama, will be leading the ceremonial flyby.
Lee ? I thought he was unavailable.
When I suggested it to Flight HQ, they said they'd make him available.
It's a shame they're decommissioning her, sir, but I guess it's time.
Galactica's war's long over.
I suppose so.
Me, me, me.
Bighead.
