As the Pegasus passes between the two Cylon Base Stars, firing missiles from all of it's tubes, Commander Cain orders the ship to full FTL speed.

The combination of the blast waves from the two dying Base Stars, and the sudden shift to FTL drive, rips a hole in the fabric of time and space, through which the Pegasus unknowingly passes.

Once clear of the blast, Cain orders the ship back to sublight speeds, and asks navigation for a fix on their location.

"Command", XO Tolen states, "Astrogation puts us within a quarter light centon of the battle, however there is no sign of the Cylons, The Galactica, or the fleet".

"What?" demands Cain, "Recheck your calculations"

A short time later, Tolen notifies Cain, "Sir, Astrogation confirms that based on star position and spectrum analysis, we are within a quarter light centon of the location of the battle, however there is a star where a pulsar should be, and all of the known pulsars are spinning at a faster rate then they should be."

"Do you know what this means Tolen?" asks Cain, "When are we?"

"Commander, our best estimates are that we are 3750 yaren before the battle, Right now the 12 tribes are leaving Kobol to settle the colonies."

"Tolen," Cain says "in this time the Cylon Empire is confined to a single planet, we can strike that planet, and eliminate the Cylon menace for ever, Ending the 1000 yaren war before it even begins."

"Helm" Cain Orders "Plot a course for the Cylon Home world, Best Speed"
