fleet.
You are the master
of understatement.
You know, after the Gideon,
this could turn
the entire fleet against you.
Then the real question is,
whether or not
it matters to you.
You know, l am sick to death
of people like you
questioning my patriotism.
We all want
this fleet to survive.
l think you're
doing very well.
Very well,
under the circumstances.
l understand this has been
a difficult job for you.
l mean, l hear
that your reports
haven't exactly...
ingratiated you with
the Commander, have they?
(scoffs)
Or the rest of the crew,
for that matter.
Still, luckily, as a member
of the civilian government...
l'm here to assure you that
l have no such reservations.
l think most of the crew
understands l'm just
doing my job.
As are we all.
All just doing
our jobs, aren't we?
l'm just doing my job.
You're just doing your job.
Okay.
Cut to the chase, Gaius.
Tell her why you deserve
to lead this fleet.
As l myself discovered,
when l was stranded...
stranded on Kobol...
l found that the stress
of survival revealed...
leadership qualities that
previously l didn't even know
that l possessed.
Really.
Yeah?
l understand your party
took several casualties.
Yes.
That was very unfortunate.
They were heroes,
every one....
You know what, l'm ready.
Shall we shoot this one?
(alarm blaring)
Oh, it's probably just
a false alarm.
lgnore it. You're okay.
Bill, you take the
hangar deck.
l'm gonna take the ClC. Go.
Please. You're as safe
as houses down here. Really.
(man on PA system)
Incoming Cylon Raiders.
This is not a drill. Repeat.
That's showbiz.
What have we got?
Two Raiders, closing fast.
(alarm blaring)
Sir, the Cylon Raiders
are on CBDR with Galactica.
Speed
two-two-point-seven-niner.
Dualla, what's CBDR?
Constant bearing,
decreasing range.
A collision course.
(Tigh)
Where the hell's the CAP?
(Dualla)
Other side of the fleet, sir.
Scramble the alert fighters.
Set Condition 1
throughout the entire fleet.
Have them spool up their FTLs,
just in case.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Move. Move.
(Hotdog)
Clear this deck.
Get this out of here.
What's the sitrep?
Two bandits, coming hard.
Just keep your eyes open
and follow us.
All right, let's go. Let's get
the birds in the hole.
Let's go move them out.
Get this flyer out of here.
Let's go.
Move them fools out of here.
First team in the tubes.
Dee.
Pilots on speaker.
(D'Anna)
Did you ever come
to terms with your dad?
l wouldn't let him.
The last time we talked,
it got...
heated.
l told him l never
wanted to see him again.
Three weeks later,
the Cylons attacked.
Okay, so l'm new at this.
Should l be scared?
l am.
All right, people, that's it.
Last bird's away,
let's clear the nest.
Get this deck ready
for recovery.
Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
Move. Move.
Sir, Alert Vipers are away.
Gun Control reports
weapons manned and ready.

They're breaking formation.
Hotdog, stick with me.
(Hotdog)
Roger that.
Come on, you....
(Hotdog)
I've got no joy,
I lost visual!
They're throwing me
right on my stick.
Come on, Starbuck.
Hotdog, Raider's on
your left eight.
I'm on him. I got him.
Yeah! Splash one!
Targeting second Raider.
(Kingston)
Kingston,
Bandit's taking off.
Take evasive action.
(Apollo)
I've got him, Kingston,
come on. Come to papa.
Damn it, take the shot.
(Apollo)
That's a kill.
Yes.
Outstanding.
Dradis shows clear, Commander.
This is the Commander.
