AN: This stands by itself but I could return to it in the future. Probably not, though. Slight spoilers for Crossroads Part 2. I do not Dollhouse or Battlestar Galactica.

"Jump complete," Lt. Gaeta's voice announced through the CIC. "We've arrived at the Ionian Nebula." A moment later Admiral Adama felt something sweep through Galactica as the Battlestar's power simultaneously shut off.
Lights, engines, DRADIS; all were offline. The crew began to move around in the dark as Adama barked out orders. "Sit rep!" he called.
As Gaeta began to speak the ship's power abruptly returned. "Sir… I have no idea what just happened, but all systems just came back," Gaeta reported. "It appears to have been fleet-wide."
"Captain Agathon, call down to Chief Tyrol and get a status update on the flight deck," Adama ordered.
"DRADIS contact!" Gaeta yelled. "Massive Cylon fleet just jumped in, I count four, five Basestars, sir."
Adama watched the DRADIS console numbly for a moment before calling for Helo again. No response. He looked around and could see the captain standing still off to the side. "Captain!" he barked. Again, nothing. Adama walked over to Agathon and stretched out an arm to shake the man out of his daze. His armed dropped back down before making contact as the Commander got a closer look at Helo's face.
Agathon's eyes, usually so deep and soulful, were… blank. He was staring ahead, blinking slowly and as Adama watched the captain's face took on a slightly confused look. Concerned, Adama called again. "Helo?"
After a moment Agathon finally registered Adama's presence. His blank eyes met the Commander's and Helo opened his mouth and spoke in a soft, gentle tone Adama had never heard from Helo before.
"Did I fall asleep?"
