"Jumping in...three...two...one...jump" Lt. Hoshi announced and Pegasus suddenly compressed and reappeared in the orbit of Caprica with a bright flash of light.

"Report" Cain said as soon as the jump ended.

"No contacts on DRADIS; sir there is nothing here" Hoshi said after he quickly checked the DRADIS console.

"Good for us" Cain said and put her headset "Patch me through to the SAR birds" Cain ordered at Hoshi.

"You are on sir" Hoshi said.

"Starbuck this is Actual, you are go for SAR, I repeat, SAR is a go" Cain said with pride in her voice.


"Roger that Actual" Starbuck quickly responded through the wireless.

"C'mon Racetrack, let's go" Starbuck said to the Raptor pilot beside her.

"Roger that, let's ride" Racetrack responded and flied the Raptor out of the Flight Pod.

"All units, SAR is a go, SAR is a go" Starbuck said and a convoy of twelve Raptors followed her out of the massive pod.

"Setting course 118- Karom two-two four" Racetrack said as she maneuvered the Raptor into reentry position.

"SAR, this is Starbuck, fire thrusters in..five..four..three..two..one..mark" Starbuck said through the wireless.

"Firing thrusters" Racetrack said.

The Raptor made a turn of 180ยบ and fired its main thrusters, reducing the speed abruptly and starting reentry.


"Is there a Samuel T. Anders there?" Kara shouted while in the middle of the forest.

"Is there a Kara Thrace there?" A voice responded seconds later.

Seconds later a dozen or so of armed people appeared from the forest.

"Hold your fire, friendlies!" Starbuck said to the trigger-happy Marines.

"It's good to see you Kara" Jean Balloray said and pulled Kara into a deep hug.

"Where's Sam?" Kara asked anxiously.

"The Cylons attacked our camp a week ago, he..didn't make it" Balloray responded with sadness.

"Oh" that was all that Kara could say about it.

"So far we have not found any more Cylons, they are simply gone" Balloray explained "Another thing, we found a man in a fallout shelter near Caprica City, his name is Keith Amarak, he says he has information on how the Cylons infiltrated the colonies".

"Where is he?" Starbuck asked.

Balloray made a signal and a man in his late thirties came out of the forest.

"Doctor Keith Amarak" the man said and held his hand.

"Major Kara Thrace, Colonial Fleet" Starbuck responded and shook his hand.

"I think you have a lot to tell us" Starbuck said.

"Yes, I do" Amarak responded.


"He did what?" that was all that President Laura Roslin could say as she heard the accusation.

"A Six model, the same as the one you encountered a year ago, seduced Baltar and convinced him to give her the access codes for the defense mainframe, essentially, he sold out his entire species for a piece of Cylon ass"

"What do we do about him?" Admiral Adama asked.

"Flush him out of the airlock" Roslin said with her I-am-not-kidding voice.


"As I said before, if I become President of the Colonies I will order the immediate settlement of the planet we now know as New Caprica, we will build a prospe-" Baltar wasn't even able to finish the sentence as a dozen of heavily armed Marines came storming by the door.

"What is the meaning of this, why are you here?" Baltar asked desperately.

"Arrest this son of a bitch" Adama said seriously.

"What?, I haven't done anything, you can't arrest me!" Baltar responded.

Adama quickly planted his right hook in his face and he screamed in pain.

"Yes we can, you sold out your species for nothing but a piece of ass" Adama responded and the Marines took him away, President Roslin entered the room and rose to the podium.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press, Admiral Adama and I were contacted by a former colleague of Dr. Baltar which claimed that he helped a Cylon infiltrator hack into our defense mainframe which allowed for the Cylons to launch their attack at the colonies, this person has evidence which suggests that the charges are real, Dr. Baltar had a relationship with a Cylon known as Number Six, he gave her the codes for the defense mainframe, when he knew the about the Cylon, he did nothing to stop it" Roslin said and the press started asking questions ferociously.

This is going to be a long morning. Roslin thought as she started to answer the questions.
