'Resurection Ship' (Part 2) Story Code: '212' by Michael Rymer and Ronald D. Moore

The situation in the Colonial fleet has reached crisis point: Commander Adama has instructed Starbuck to assassinate Admiral Cane, unaware that Cain has given a similar order for Colonel Fisk to kill him. Tyrol and Helo are subjected to a beating by two of the Pegasus’s officers, but are saved when Fisk arrives and flies into a rage at his crew members’ mutinous behaviour. When Starbuck turns to him for back-up on her mission, Apollo confronts his father over the order to kill Cain, only to learn that the President recommended the assassination plot. The crews of the Galactica and the Pegasus prepare for the forthcoming attack on the Cylon fleet; as Viper pilots ready for combat, soldiers take up their weapons in defence of enemy boarding. Adama questions Boomer as to why the Cylons hate humanity; in response Boomer tells him that they see humanity as a flawed creation that does not deserve to survive. The Colonial fleet jumps to the location of the Cylons, and a fierce battle commences. As the Cylon Resurrection Ship prepares to make an FTL jump, Apollo flies the Blackbird in and destroys the vessel’s engines, leaving it a sitting target for the Colonial Vipers. However, before Apollo can fly to safety the Blackbird is hit by enemy fire, and he only just ejects in time. While the combat rages all around him, Apollo finds himself adrift in space, his precious oxygen supply venting out into space through a tear in his suit…
