- Doctor...
Doctor?!
Oh, right. The Screenings...
To tell you the truth
There are significant problems
with implementing...
My cylon detection method, that I used aboard Galactica previously
and basically because I've run out
of natural resources, I...
I need... chemical compound,
for exemple, the precursor test
I need large samples of uh...
Tetrahydrocycline.
which I don't have to tell you, well maybe I
do have to tell you, but it's a highly volatile
- ... chemical compound—
- Let me stop you at here. Your Intellect...
... obviously outstrip
everyone in this room.
But it's also obvious by
the way that you're talking
in order to make
large-scale screenings
you're gonna need help.
Staff... Ressources.
Yes uh...
Th- th-that is exactly
what I'm saying ! Exactly.
Although, um... more staff...
Someone snooping around,
watching your every move?
May be it'll be a woman,
you could find her secret beauty.
I'm going to assign
Lt. Gaeta, to aid you...
- In anything that you might need.
- So much for love.
But the need for secrecy ?
Clearly, this falls into the
'Absolutely Necessary' category.
Your screening techniques may
be critical to our very survival.
Humanity's very surviva
rests in your hands...
Now if only you had an
actual cyclon detector.
It's a critical mission Boomer, we've already have
fights breaking out on some ships over water rations.
There's panic in the air.
- You don't find water
out there, or find it soon.
- I understand, Captain.
We'll find it.
Good hunting.
- Hey, Chief.
- Captain.
- Lieutenant.
- Chief.
- I feel like my head's about to explode.
- Just relax, calm down...
Focus on the mission, we'll take care
of everything when you get back.
What about the investigation ?
Master-at-Arms is runnig it, but don't
worry there's no connection to you.
In fact, there's no reason to believe
you had anything to do with it at all.
- I didn't !
- I know.
I would never do
something like that !
- Never !
- Sharon, I know.
It's really important
you beleive me on this.
- You do beleive me, right?
- Absolutely.
Yes, Sir!
Thank you, Chief. Carry on.
Please excuse me
for keeping you waiting.
I was called in the engine room.
It'll just take a moment.
It's allright.
Sometime I'd like to
borrow a book or two.
I... only brought one with
me on the flight to Galactica.
What book ?
"Murder on Picon".
I've a weakness for mystery.
Ever read "Dark Day" ?
Edward Prima. I am...
embarassed to say it's one of those classics
I've never gotten around to reading.
I think you'll enjoy it.
Thank you.
- It may be a while before
I get this back to you.
- It's a gift.
'Never  lend books'.
Well, then thank you for the gift.
I'am really looking forward
to working with you, Doctor.
- Do you have a friend ?
- As am I, Lieutenant.
I actually studied genetics in college.
In fact, I was planning on going
for my graduate degree through
the military extension program.
Wonderful.
Is that a card game ?
And the girl wins again !
Another round ?
Oh, come on guys...
grace under pressure.
There's nothing like
losing a little money...
- to take your mind off those 14-hour patrols
- Mind if I sit in Lieutenant?
If you've got the cubits,
we've got the chair.
'course if you've got the "anything to drink"
we'll take that in lieu of cash.
Do you know I don't have
any money. But, umm...
This jacket must be
worth at least 15 cubits.
It's made of the
finest Caprican cloth,
Warm in winter, cool in summer,
it would look great on you.
Anybody else got any...
civilian clothes, they'd be
interested in putting on the table ?
Don't let me keep you.
Colonel Tigh was right...
Rioting broke out on a cruise ship
when they reduced water rations.
We need to demonstrate an ability
to maintain order and we need to do it now.
We don't have actual manpower.
For fleet security.
You have the only armed,
disciplined, force that we aboard.
Yeah, but I'm
