Father, I think they intend to ram.
APOLLO: He ’3 going for the bridge!
I thought we're too far inside to take a laser hit.
We are. That was something else.
FIRE LEADER: Work that boraton in over there. Come on, keep it moving.
Look out, it’s ready to blow!
But they could still be alive! You can't just leave them there!
The Galactica is doomed.
Just don't get careless.
Lose your grip just once, and you'll be floating in space forever.
STARBUCK: Yeah, thanks for reminding us, Sheba.
I'm going to have to operate because there's a fragment
lodged near the wall of his heart.
Well, then operate.
There is no way that I'm going to open up
his or anyone else's chest under these conditions.

Well, Boxey, you did it to me again.
Yeah, isn't this fun, Athena?
That's a pretty easy thing to say when you're winning, Boxey.
Hey, Boomer, what are you doing in the Rejuvenation Center?
I thought Blue Squadron was on alert.
Even Blue Squadron pilots get a furlon once in a while.
Now all I have to do for the next 24 centares is relax.
Want to play compartment billyarks with me? I'm pretty good.
Oh?
You're on.
And if you beat me, I got a surprise for you.
It's a mushie.
How's a guy keep a secret around here?
You can't with Muffy around. I just trained him to sniff out mushies.

Colonel Tigh, prepare the Galactica for heavy attack.
Secure all compartments.
PEOPLE CLAMORING
Must be an all-out attack!
Okay, everybody, just go back to what you were doing.
Nobody's going anywhere until this thing is over.
Why did they close the doors?
Well, so that if one part of the Galactica gets hit
it won't affect the rest of the ship.
That prevents the oxygen from Escaping if the hull is pierced, Boxey.
I'm not afraid. My dad'll protect us from those old Cylons.
Blue Strike Leader to Galactica, this is no probe!
Affirmative. All squadrons have been launched to assist.
There must be a hundred of them.
Yeah, give us more to shoot at. Let's go!
CYLON: Follow the programmed mission. Ignore the Colonial Vipers.
They're not fighting back.
What are they up to?
I don't know, but let's take advantage of it.
Where's that help?
APOLLO: They’re right behind us.
All squadrons engaged, sir, but something's wrong.
We're outnumbered but blowing Them out of the skies.
They don't seem to be fighting back.
Galactica, this is Apollo.
Two from the first wave have broken through.
Our laser turrets will take care of them.
Father, I think they intend to ram!

CYLON: One micron to impact coordinates.
APOLLO: He ’3 going for the bridge!

But we'll make it.
The boraton mist handled what fire there was.
OMEGA: Colonel Tigh!
Deep scan has been knocked out. Internal communications, too.
We've lost deep scan.
We're setting up an emergency Radio system right now.
See what can be done about internal communications.
And I want those scanners Operational as soon as possible.
Colonel, the scanners have had it! They're completely destroyed.
Vipers will be our eyes.
Inform the pilots.
Yes, sir.

GROANING IN PAIN
Galactica bridge, this is Captain Apollo.
Port landing bay has been destroyed. Request instructions.
Two squadrons will remain flying at all times on a rotating basis.
Blue and Red Squadrons cleared for starboard landing bay.
Colonel, energizer number one destroyed.
Number two now operating at maximum capacity.
Boraton mist control center destroyed.
Fire out of control in Alpha deck, Beta and Gamma sections.
All personnel have been evacuated in fire areas
except for those in the Rejuvenation Center.
It's been cutoff.
How many in there?
About 20.
Including Boomer, and the Commander's daughter and his grandson.
Did you find out what happened?
No, Boxey, the telecom's dead.
First-aid supplies have been destroyed, too.
MUFFY BARKING ELECTRONICALLY
Look! ATHENA: Boomer
Break out the life masks!
They were destroyed with the first-aid supplies.
MUFFY CONTINUES BARKING
FIRE LEADER: Watch it! It's going to flare!
EXPLOSION
Hold it as long as you can.
COUGHING
Maybe the locking mechanism shorted.
No, no, it's a fire, and it's a bad one.
Everybody, get over to the other side of the compartment. Move!
All of those who aren't injured, please help those who are.
Easy. Right here.
Frak!
The impact must have twisted the bulkhead just enough to jam the door.
What are the chances of that other door holding?
About as much as the Cylons throwing me a birthday party.
If I can get this one open, we can get into the storage compartment
and close it behind us.
Life masks in there, too.
How are you gonna do it?
It doesn't show in my file, Athena.
When I was a kid on Caprica, I hot-linked more hovermobiles
than there are doors on this ship.
But if the fire can get through that door,
it can get through this one, too.
By that time, we'll all be through into the next compartment.
Ahh.
And the next one, and the next one.
How long before you think you can do it?
If this were a hovermobile, I could tell you to the micron.
But this thing, I don't know.
Why don't you take a rest period?
It's all right.
I'll watch him. Go.
Thank you, sir.
Please, tell the Commander we tried, we really tried.
We just couldn't reach them.
Couldn't reach who?
SIGHS His daughter and grandson.
In the Rejuvenation Center.
Boxey and Athena?
And Boomer, too. I saw them go in there right before the attack.
We tried, but the fire...
Oh, my God.
Where is he?
Yes.
Comfortable?
WEAKLY The Galactica?
We took some casualties, some damage.
Nothing that can't be repaired, including you.
Rest, Adama. You need rest.
The life pod has him stabilized, but he's very weak.
After all of this is over, I'm going to have to operate
because there's a fragment lodged
near the wall of his heart, and it's very bad.
Well, then operate, right now.
Now you listen to me, son.
Unless I have no choice, there is no way that I'm going to open up
his or anyone else's chest under these conditions.
The fire has knocked out one energizer.
And if the other one goes, as well it may,
all of the equipment will go out.
I don't think you want me poking around your father's heart
with a laser scalpel at a time like that.
Now, be brief, please.
Apollo.
We tried to get him sooner but he was too far ahead of us.
I know.
It wasn't your fault.
Can I do anything for you?
You're doing it.
Just by being here.
I want to see Athena
and Boxey.
I'm sorry, but the doctor says no more visitors.
I'll be all right.
I'll be fine.
Come on.
It's all right, Apollo. I'll stay with him.
SIGHS
I'll be on the bridge.
FIRE LEADER: Don't let it get behind you!
Look out! Get back!
We're losing it here. We have to fall back.
APOLLO: Are you sure there's nothing you can do?
I'm sorry, Apollo, we couldn't get to them.
Even if we had, all the doors in that section are jammed.
But there must be a way at least to find out if they're alive.
Internal communications have been restored on this side of the fire.
Everything on the other side is still out. Colonel,
if they're still alive, how long could they last?
The truth.
I don't know.
The fire is rapidly consuming Oxygen in that area of the ship.
Once it's gone, they'll have to rely on their life masks.
COUGHING
When the door opens, get him through as quickly as possible.
All right, we're set!
Now when this door opens, if it opens,
we get Boxey and the injured through first and then the rest of you.
And make it fast. I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it open.
Boomer, the fire. The door.
I wish this were a hovermobile.
ELECTRICAL EXPLOSION ALL GASPING

GROANING Oh, no.
Wait a micron, I think I got it figured out now.
Change the wavelon.

Either that, or burn out the motor so it'll never open.

Hurry, Boomer.
Hurry.
ELECTRICAL BUZZING
Come on, hurry up! Move it! Move, move! Let's go!
Grab the wounded! Let's go, Athena!
Boomer, what about you?

Come on!
Boxey, it looks like I, um...
Mashed your mushie.
LAUGHS
ELECTRONIC HISSING
This telecom's dead.
SIGHS
Boomer, there's only five life masks.
Oh, great.
Okay. We'll save them until we need them and then we'll all take turns.
Now, let's check out this door.
GRUNTS
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
FIRE ROARING
This thing is red-hot.
From the landing bay, the fire separates,
advancing here through Beta section towards the energizer,
and here through Gamma section.
Toward the solium storage tanks.
If it reaches them, we go up like a supernova.
Colonel, take a look at this.
This duct system inter-connects the Rejuvenation Center
with some other areas of the ship,
including right here, the bridge!
I'm sorry, Captain. These ducts are too small for a person to get through.
An adult, but what about a small boy?
Boomer would never take a chance like that with Boxey's life.
He could send Muffy!
It wouldn't do any good.
Why not?
I'll show you.
That duct system leads in eight or nine different directions,
terminating in 30 or more compartments,
only one of which is here on the bridge.
The chance of the daggit coming out here is less than remote.
Then send men to the other compartments,
have them wait until Muffy shows up!
I can't afford to send anyone in any compartment.
I barely have enough manpower right now
to run the ship and fight the fire.
I'm sorry, Apollo. Even if I thought there was a chance...
But they could still be alive! You can't just leave them there!
Apollo, if the fire reaches the energizer or the solium, either one,
the Galactica is doomed.
All our resources must go to preventing that.
FIRE LEADER: I'm sorry, Colonel.
We may delay it, but in the end, we can't prevent it.
The oxygen in each compartment
draws the fire further and further into the ship, like a magnet.
The only way we can stop it is to drown it in boraton.
We have boraton.
Yes sir. But to make it work, we have
to smother the whole fire at the same time.
With enough high pressure, we could do that in all of the other areas
but not the landing bay, there's no way to reach it.
Hold it, I have an idea.
We could replace the turbo lasers in three of our Vipers
with mega-pressure pumps from the damaged energizer.
Fill them with boraton and connect them to the firing mechanism.
It would be like a strafing run. Exactly!
With three of us making continuous runs,
we could flood that bay with boraton!
FIRE LEADER: I never thought of the mega-pressure pumps.
I could use one of them to boost
the pressure in our internal hose system.
Do it!
Yes, sir!
Apollo, they're gonna be okay.
They'll probably be waiting when we get back.
If this works.
Now remember, this boraton is heavy, so we ’re overloaded.
When you pull up after your run, watch it
or the increased G-factor will slam you right into the hull.
Boraton flight cleared to launch when ready.

Fall back! Fall back!
Tie down the hose and fall back!
MASSIVE EXPLOSIONS
Colonel, the mega-pressure pump is ready.
Apollo, we're ready. Commence the boraton run.
I'll make the first pass, Starbuck, then you, then Sheba.
Let's make it good.
I'm right behind you Apollo.
SHEBA: Let’s go.
Yes, sir, Colonel! Right away!
The Vipers are into their first run. Start the mega-pressure pump.
Here we go.
Easy. Easy.
Now!
Watch it, Starbuck. The G-factors are worse than I thought.
STARBUCK: Yeah. Thanks for the warning,
but I still have to get in close to do any good.
APOLLO: Starbuck, your angle ’3 too steep!
STARBUCK: This is easier than shooting at Cylons!
APOLLO: Pull up, Starbuck! Pull up!
SIGHS
I thought you weren’t gonna make it.
Yeah, I knew exactly what I was doing.
APOLLO: This one has to do it, Sheba. Make it good.
I will.
We got it!
We got the landing bay.
Now it’s up to the guys inside to put the rest of it out.

That's the fourth power drop. He gets worse with each one.

What about the power drops?
Cassiopeia, they're already killing him.
If we just let him lie in that life pod,
he doesn't have a chance in a centura.
I'II notify Tigh. I'll be in ultrasonic scrub.
We've got to keep it away from the energizer!
Watch those supports. They've been weakened.
Adama.
I understand they're going to fix you up.
WEAKLY How bad is it, Tigh?
You'll come through fine, just fine.
I know about the fire.
It's bad, Adama. We can't put the fire out.
There's a way.
A drastic way.
If there's nothing else, let the vacuum of space smother it.
Put explosive charges on the hull.
Blow hole.
Deprive the fire of its oxygen.
There may be people trapped in there.
Without oxygen, they'd never survive.
Do you really believe Athena and Boxey are still alive?
How did you know?
I overheard a great deal.
I'm sorry, Colonel. It's time.
Tigh.
Put your best people on the job.
It may be our last chance.
Yes, sir.
ENGINES TURBO BOOST
TIGH: Apollo and Starbuck are in the airlock.
Are you ready, Sheba?
SHEBA: I am coming into position now.
TIGH: Can you see them yet?
SHEBA: Okay, I have them in view.
I won’t let them out of my sight.
TIGH: Apollo, you and Starbuck can start now.
APOLLO: We have 12 charges to set.
STARBUCK: This weightlessness is really gonna slow us down.
APOLLO: Let's get moving.
STARBUCK: I'm right with you.
The first one goes right over there.
According to Colonel Tigh, we're gonna have to work fast.
That's why I decided to forget our tether lines.
They'd just slow us down.
Just don't get careless.
Lose your grip just once, and you'll be floating in space forever.
Yeah, thanks for reminding us, Sheba.
Colonel, any sign of Muffy yet?
TIGH: No. I’m sorry, Apollo.
Of course! Mushies!
STARBUCK: Mushies? What do mushies have to do with explosives?
Colonel Tigh, Boxey trained Muffy to sniff out mushies!
Have them put them in the open duct.
Consider it done, Apollo.
Omega, order some mushies sent up here.
Yes, sir.
ALL COUGHING AND MOANING
MUFFY BARKING
Colonel, the fire leader reports that the fire
has now crossed his defensive line
in compartment 31 in both Beta and Gamma sections.
Then he has no choice but to fall back
to his final lines in compartment 43 in both sections.
Sir, the fire has spread laterally.
The defensive line now extends through Delta, Alpha,
and Theta section, also.
Five full sections of flame and nowhere else to fall back to.

compartment has reached the critical level.
Solium storage is just as bad.
If we can just get those charges set and blow them in time.
Apollo, we're running out of time.
APOLLO: Colonel, just another 15 centons.
I don't know if we have it.
How about blowing the charges we have set now?
Negative. Unless we blow them in exactly the calculated pattern,
our gyros will go wild.
We must do it in time. Keep me posted.
Colonel! Look!

Without them, they're not going to have a chance.
I just hope he can get back in time.
When the hull blows, they'll lose whatever oxygen they have.
Muffy, find Boxey.
Boxey.

This charge has a magnetic base.
l'll pull myself across with it.
There ’s a handhold just up from the other side. I’ll get back that way.

Hey! Yeah!
Apollo? Starbuck?
Something's wrong.
Sheba?
I can't see them anywhere, Colonel.
Good Lord. The explosion must've gotten them.
I refuse to believe that.
I won’t give up. I’m going to keep looking for them.
Colonel Tigh, I see them. I see them!
Apollo? Starbuck? Hang on!
We ’re sending a shuttle.
Colonel? My family?
They're all safe, including your father.
Phew.
So am I, thanks to Starbuck.
I guess I just can't stand you going anywhere without me.
SIGHS
I know just how you feel, Boxey.
But Dr. Wilker built Muffy in the first place,
and I'm sure he can build another one just like him.
But it won't really be Muffy.
Yes, he will. He'll look just like him. He'll be identical.
That's not what I mean.
Oh, Boxey!

Muffy's never coming back, Dad.
Want to bet?
MUFFY BARKING
Muffy!
You'd be real proud of him, kid.
He saved that firefighter's life.
