9:00 A.M. at the university hospital, Spence's ex-wife Tiffany had brought Tim into the hospital. Tim was diagnosed with chickenpox twenty-four hours earlier at the children's hospital and was released after Tiffany was given instructions on how to care for Tim. However, Tim's fever spiked within the last three hours.
Miles was the doctor who was examining Tim. Tim was fussing while he was being examined and as Miles was looking at the blisters that the chickenpox had caused he found a blister below Tim's right armpit that had an odd appearance to it.
When Tiffany saw a curious expression on Miles' face, she asked, "What's wrong, Dr. Thiemann?"
"Possibly nothing, but to be sure, I'm going to get another doctor in here," said Miles. "I'll be back in a minute." Beth was walking past the examination room and was now wearing make-up. When Miles saw Beth walking down the hall, he called out, "Beth!" Beth stopped and faced Miles. "Are you busy?"
"At the moment I'm not doing anything important, but I'm scheduled to assist Dr. Snyder in operating room in about an hour," said Beth.
"Can I get your opinion on a patient?" asked Miles.
"Sure, but my opinion may not be any better than yours, so you might have to consult with one of the residents or an attending," said Beth as she walked towards Miles.
"You're actually good with identifying different skin blemishes so I think you can help me with this," said Miles.
"The patient has blemishes?" asked Beth.
"The patient is a toddler with chickenpox associated with uncontrollable high fever and dehydration because he is unable to keep anything down including pedialyte," said Miles. "Also he has a blister underneath his right armpit that doesn't look as if it was cause by chickenpox."
"Ah, got you," said Beth "Lead the way."
Tiffany was holding Tim while trying to get him to stop crying when Miles and Beth were walking in. As they stepped up to Tiffany, Miles said, "This is our patient. His name is Tim and he has a bad case of the chickenpox."
Beth slightly rubbed Tim's back and said in a soft voice, "Hi sweetie. Will you allow me to hold you?" Tim continued to cry and held Tiffany tighter. "Okay, sweetie; you can stay with mommy, but I do need to take a look at something underneath your shirt. Mom, most likely he will allow you to lift his shirt."
"Of course," said Tiffany.
Once the shirt was lifted Beth looked at the blister that Miles was referring to. Beth closely looked at the blister for a couple of seconds before Miles asking, "So what do you think?"
"Tim has been bitten by a spider," said Beth. "Judging from the mark, I'm going to guess a brown recluse."
"I killed a spider in his room last night, but I didn't know that he was bitten by it," said Tiffany. "So what now?"
"Now we have to get Tim's fever down and fluids in him," said Beth.
"Ms. Bergmann…" Miles said as he was interrupted.
"Please call me Tiffany," she said.
Tiffany saw Beth looking at her as if she was an apparition as Miles said, "Okay, Tiffany. Because of Tim's spider bite on top of his chickenpox, I want to admit Tim into the hospital for twenty-four hours and start him on an IV drip to get fluids into him."
Tiffany read Beth's nametag and said, "Before I agree to admit Tim, I would like to know, Dr. O'Brian, as to why you are looking at me the way you are."
"I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude," said Beth. "I know someone who has an ex-wife name Tiffany and a son name Timothy. When you said that your name was Tiffany I thought that you might be my friend's ex-wife."
"What's your friend's name?" asked Tiffany.
Beth cringed as she said, "Spencer Westcott."
Tiffany slightly chuckled and as she nodded she asked, "And how do you know Spence?'
Beth again cringed as she said, "We met two days ago and we hit it off romantically."
"So you are Spence's girlfriend?" asked Tiffany.
"Yes, Ms. Bergmann, but I didn't know who you were when I walked in," said Beth.
"What? You wouldn't have examined Tim, if you would've known off the bat that I was Spence's ex-wife?" asked Tiffany.
"If I would've known who you were prior to examining Tim, I would have introduced myself to you properly and then asked your permission to examine Tim with you knowing who I was," said Beth.
Tiffany grinned and said, "I like your response."
Beth grinned and said," Ms. Bergmann…"
"Please call me Tiffany and since you and me obviously going to be seeing a lot of each other in the future, I should know what K and E stand for on your name plate," She said.
"It's Kimberly Elizabeth, but most people call me Beth," she said. "Anyway, Tiffany, I agree with Dr. Thiemann on that we should admit Tim for twenty-four hours."
Tiffany nodded and said, "Okay, Beth and Dr. Thiemann, I will allow you to admit and start Tim on an IV."
"Good," said Miles. "Give me a few minutes to get the paper work together and find a room for Tim."
"Dr. Thiemann, don't give Tim the IV until I get there," said Beth as she was backing away towards the door. "There's something I want to do first."
"What's that?" yelled Miles as Beth was leaving the room.
"You'll see," Miles heard Beth saying as the door was closing behind her.
"Does Beth do that a lot?" asked Tiffany.
"Beth can and does come across as being eccentric at times, but once everything is said and done, what she does surprisingly make sense afterwards," said Miles.
"I'll take your word for that," said Tiffany.
"Well, anyway, let me go find you a room and the proper paper work that you need to sign and I'll be back to escort you to the room."
"Yes, Doctor," said Tiffany.
Minutes later in the gift shop, Beth had picked up a teddy bear and as she was walking out with it she yelled, "Hey Lindsey. I'll be back around twelve to pay for the teddy bear that I'm taking."
Lindsey had a long line of customers and when she looked in Beth's direction, Beth was exiting the gift shop while holding the bear above the theft sensors to keep it from sounding. As Beth quickly left Lindsey's sight, Lindsey said barely loud enough for the first two customers to hear, "I hate when she does that."
Once Miles had everything in order he led Tiffany to the children's ward and into an empty room. A nurse followed behind them with the IV stand and the IV bag. After Tiffany placed Tim on the bed, Miles began preparing Tim for the IV. Tim was irritable and slightly fussing as Miles was getting Tim ready.
Before Miles got done preparing Tim, Beth walked in while carrying the teddy bear and pushing another IV stand with an empty IV bag.
Miles, Tiffany and the nurse looked at Beth in a curious manner and as Beth was stepping up, Miles asked, "What are you doing?'
"Tim is not going to like being stuck and prodded and I'm thinking that he'll be less upset if he had someone with him that would share in the experience."
"Are you planning to hook that teddy bear up to an IV, Doctor?" asked the nurse.
"I am," said Beth. "Miles, I'll do a step to the bear with Tim watching me and you mock what I do with Tim."
Tiffany looked at Beth in a manner as if Beth had lost her mind as Miles said, "I told Tiffany that once every eccentric thing you do does surprisingly make sense afterwards, but in this case I'm taking what I said back."
"Just do this with me please," said Beth. "This isn't going to make him more upset if it doesn't work, but if it does work then he'll be less irritable afterwards."
"Fine, let's do it," said Miles.
"Okay," said Beth. She then brushed Tim's hair while holding teddy bear to where Tim could see. "Hey, sweetie."
When Tim's attention was drawn to the teddy bear, he reached for and said, "Teddy, pease."
Miles said barely loud enough for everyone to hear, "I'm guessing pease is his word for please."
Beth glanced at Miles before focusing on Tim and saying, "Sweetie, Teddy is sick like you and we have to make you both better before you and he can play." Beth indicated to one of the teddy bear's hand as she continued to say, "Teddy is scared though so can you hold Teddy's hand as I make Teddy feel good." Tim didn't say anything and took the Teddy bear's hand that Beth indicated. "Sweetie, by you holding Teddy's hand, you are making Teddy feel better." Beth continued with the first step by preparing the teddy bear to be hooked up to an empty IV bag.
As Beth finished each step on the teddy bear, Miles did the exact step with Tim. Beth used simple words and visual cues with Tim so he would understand what she was doing to the teddy bear at each step. Tiffany saw in Tim's eyes that Tim was more curious of what was going on than being scared.
Beth didn't use a needle on the teddy bear, but fasten the tube on the teddy bear with surgical tape. When the time came and Miles injected Tim with the needle, Tim was about ready to bawl.
Beth saw it in Tim's eyes what he was about to do and quickly raised the teddy bear up and said, "Sweetie-sweetie, look. Teddy is here with you. Teddy knows it hurts, but he's telling you that it will be okay. Teddy now wants you to hold him."
As a stream of tears ran down the side of Tim's face and having uncontrollable sniffles he took hold and hugged the teddy bear.
"Okay, most kids Tim's age will bawl after getting stuck with a needle," said the nurse as she was finishing up with the IV.
"Those kids didn't have a friend with him as he has with Teddy," said Beth.
As Rebecca was walking into the room, Tiffany said, "I'm impressed, Beth."
Beth grinned and said, "Thanks.
When Rebecca saw that there was an IV tube taped to the bear's arm, she asked, "Do I want to know why there's an empty IV bag running to a teddy bear's arm?"
Before Beth was able to answer, Miles said, "Believe it or not, it's comforting the little guy."
"Okay," Rebecca said in a skeptical manner. She then asked in a more normal tone, "Dr. O'Brian, is this the same teddy bear that Lindsey Wilder called me to complained about how you took it from the gift shop without paying for it."
The nurse was finished with what she was doing and waved bye as she left.
Beth waved back to the nurse as she said, "I told Lindsey that I'll give her the money around twelve."
"She mentioned that along with mentioning that this was the third time you did something like that," said Rebecca.
"I also paid her within a couple of hours after I done it, so it's not like I stole anything," said Beth.
Rebecca gestured towards Tim and said, "I understand that you like to make your patients comfortable with… with whatever that you did, but Lindsey doesn't care about that. She just wants the money before you walk out of the gift shop with the items."
"Dr. Eisen, it takes about ten minutes minimum to get in and out of there because of how busy the gift shop stays and I was in a hurry to…" Beth was only able to get out.
"Dr. O'Brian, I just want you to go pay for the teddy bear and stop taking items from…" Rebecca got out before thinking of another solution. "Actually what I want you to do is for you to pay for the teddy bear along with giving her an additional hundred dollars."
Beth looked at Rebecca in a curious manner and asked, "Why should I give her an additional hundred dollars?"
"So you will have a hundred dollars worth of credit within the gift shop and when you take things and leave the gift shop in a hurry, Lindsey will have her money already," said Rebecca.
"That's actually not a bad suggestion," said Beth.
"Good," said Rebecca. "Now go pay for the teddy bear that you took."
Before Beth was able to respond, her beeper sounded. Beth looked at her beeper and said, "Dr. Eisen, I better answer this page from the front desk and then I'll pay for the teddy bear."
"Just pay Lindsey before she calls and complains again," said Rebecca.
"Yes, Dr. Eisen," said Beth. She then turned and walked out.
As Beth was walking out, Tiffany asked, "Is Beth this caring with all kids?"
"Beth is excellent around kids and she's actually this caring with all the patients," said Miles.
"According to Dr. O'Brian's work record, she worked for a children daycare center for seven years starting at the age of fifteen, so Beth should be excellent with kids," said Rebecca.
"What daycare would hire a fifteen year old?" asked Tiffany.
"The daycare is owned by Beth's grandma and one of her mom's sisters," said Miles as Tiffany noticed that Tim was about ready to fall asleep while holding the teddy bear. "In fact the building for the daycare was converted over from a three story house that Beth's grandma owned for forty years."
"I know the daycare you're talking about," said Tiffany. "It's located in a rich suburban area and it's actually a reasonably priced daycare for where it's located. In fact it was one of the daycares I was looking at for Tim."
"Being that Tim is Spence's son and Beth is dating Spence, she might be able to get Tim in that daycare at a cheaper price," said Miles.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but did I just hear that this child is Spence's son?" asked Rebecca.
"Yes, Dr. Eisen," said Tiffany. "I'm Spence's ex-wife. Is there anything wrong?"
"No," Rebecca said in a manner as if she was surprised of the situation. "You just seem more relaxed around Dr. O'Brian than I would've imagined that you would for Dr. O'Brian dating your ex."
"I'll admit that I was leery of Beth at first when I found out that she was dating my ex-husband, but she actually impressed me on how well she was able to handle Tim," said Tiffany as she saw that Tim was fast asleep. She then gestured towards Tim. "In fact I've been trying to get Tim to quit fussing and go to sleep since four o'clock this morning, and he falls asleep in about five minutes after Beth gives him a teddy bear."
"I've only been a supervising doctor here for about two days, and Dr. O'Brian has impressed me with her performance a few times during that time," said Rebecca. "Anyway, I need to be somewhere else. Bye."
As Rebecca was walking out, Miles said, "Well, I'm going too and let Tim rest." He then pointed to a call button. "If you need a nurse or want me paged just pressed that button."
Tiffany nodded and said, "Thank you, Dr. Thiemann."
Miles just nodded and walked out.
At the nurse's station, Beth stepped up and asked, "Did you paged me, Sophie?"
"There's a man name Winton Donavan in the waiting area who's here to talk to you," said Sophie. "He's said that Agent Wilier of the CIA sent him."
"I know what's it about; thanks," said Beth.
"You're welcome," said Sophie as Beth was about to step away.
When Beth stepped out into the waiting area, Winston stepped up to her and as he flashed his badge he said, "Dr. O'Brian, I'm Agent Donavan."
Beth leaned close to Winston and whispered, "Do you know about the Cylons?'
"I was briefed about that and of you being the friendly voice of the colonies of Kobol, Dr. O'Brian," said Winston. "Do you have information for the homeland security?"
Beth pulled out the fax she received from Ryan from her medical coat and as she handed it to Winston she said, "Someone I know who lives in London faxed this to me today. The woman in that fax is a Cylon."
"Why is your friend asking you about this?" asked Winston.
"He was here at the hospital the night of the infiltration," said Beth. "He knew from the beginning about the Cylons being on Earth, so I didn't break my non-disclosure agreement."
"Did you respond to your friend?" asked Winston.
Beth pulled out a piece of paper that she had faxed back to Ryan as a response and as she was handing it to Winston she said, "I faxed this to him."
Winston took the paper and read, "Homeland security wants me to keep quiet with what I know and I promised them that I would. I do recommend that you be skeptical of anyone that you don't know prior to forty-eight hours ago." Winston looked up at Beth. "I don't see any harm done with this fax. Do you have any more information for me?"
Beth whispered, "Just that a copy of the Cylon on that fax had moved into the same apartment complex that I live in and only a few doors down from me."
"Homeland security knows all about that and that was an accident on our part," said Winston.
"What do you mean?" It suddenly dawned on Beth what Winston meant and before he had a chance to speak she whispered, "Travis Silverman is an agent and the homeland security had set him up in the apartment complex that I live in."
Winston slightly laughed and said, "You do have an imagination."
"So are you denying that Travis is an agent?" asked Beth.
"I can honestly tell you that there is no agent name Travis Silverman who works for homeland security," said Winston.
Beth slightly grinned and asked, "So that's not his real name?"
"Dr. O'Brian, even if your speculation about Travis Silverman is right, I can't answer that," said Winston.
"I noticed that you're not telling me that Travis isn't an agent undercover," said Beth.
"I'm not authorized to confirm or deny that," said Winston.
"Okay," said Beth.
"Anyway, if there's nothing else, I'll get back to headquarters with this London information before it snows," said Winston.
"It's supposed to snow?" asked Beth.
Winston nodded and said, "It's supposed to start any time. The streets are still too warm for it to stick though so there won't be any accumulations. Anyway, do you have anything else for me?'
"Just have a good day," said Beth.
Winston grinned and said, "Good day."
As Winston walked away, Beth's phone rang. She looked at the number and saw that it was Spence before answering, "Hey Spence."
"Hey, dispatched just gave me a message from Tiffany about Timothy being admitted at your hospital," said Spence. "Can you check and find out what's going on for me?'
"I know what's going on already," said Beth. "Tim has chickenpox and to complicate things more, the poor little guy has a spider bite from a brown recluse. Because of Tim's fever and dehydration, he's been admitted."
Beth heard the uneasy tone when Spence said, "Since you know all that already, you must have met Tiffany."
"Yes, we met and once I realized who she was, I did tell her about us," said Beth.
Spence asked in the same uneasy tone, "And that went okay?"
Beth said in a slight amused tone, "It did, so stop worrying."
"Being a policeman, I've seen first hand what can happen when an ex-wife and the current girlfriend get together and it's not a pretty sight," said Spence.
"Well, things went fine between us, so you can stop worrying," said Beth.
Spence said in a skeptical tone, "Okay." He then said in a normal tone. "Beth, I never had the chickenpox before. Would I get it if I would visit Tim?"
"It's possible especially if you haven't had the chickenpox vaccine either," said Beth.
"So getting the vaccine would prevent me from getting the chickenpox?" asked Spence.
"It will reduce the chance of you getting it and even if you do get it after getting the vaccine, it won't be a severe case," said Beth. "Since you work with the public and if you never had the vaccine before, I actually recommend that you do get it."
"All right, you convince me to get the vaccine," said Spence. "I'll be in this afternoon for that vaccine and to visit Tim."
"I'll see you then, but right now, I need to let you go," said Beth. "I have only a few minutes to get to the O.R and I need to pay what I owe to Lindsey from the gift shop before I do that."
"Okay, Bye," said Spence.
After Beth hung up her phone, she went to her locker to get some money.
In Tim's room, Tiffany was rubbing Tim's back as he slept when a male Cylon, unknown to the colonial and to Beth, opened the door and stepped in. The Cylon took the name of Barry Sage and he appeared to be thirty-year-old. He was wearing a hospital gown and his chest and shoulders were wrapped in a bandage that was slightly blood soaked in spots.
Barry stopped just at the inside of the door. As he looked at Tiffany in a surprised manner, Tiffany asked, "May I help you?"
"Oh, I thought this was my room," said Barry.
"You're walking around the children's ward," said Tiffany.
"I really did get lost if I'm in the children's ward," said Barry.
"What room are you looking for?" asked Tiffany.
"At the risk of sounding not very intelligent, I must confess that I have no idea," said Barry. Tiffany looked at him in a curious manner. "I guess I should have paid more attention at where I was walking to and what floor I was on before I got on the elevator."
Tiffany glanced at Tim and saw how deeply he was sleeping. She then looked up again at Barry and said, "There's a nurse's station not too far from here. If you come with me, I'll take you to it and they can get you back to where you need to be."
"I'm sorry to take you away from your child," said Barry.
"He's sleeping and while he's sleeping, I'll take that opportunity to get a cup of coffee and maybe a small bite to eat at the cafeteria." Tiffany went to remove the tube from the teddy bear's arm and as she was removing it she said, "I better remove this so he doesn't get tangled up in it as he sleeps." After removing the IV tube she picked up her purse and turned towards Barry. "I'm Tiffany by the way and that's my son Timothy."
"Tiffany, I'm Barry Sage," he said. "Tiffany, I hope you don't think I'm being to direct, but I would like it if I could join you in the cafeteria."
Tiffany looked at Barry in a curious manner and asked, "Shouldn't you return to your room?"
"I will, but first, I would like to have a coffee with you," said Barry.
Tiffany glanced to what Barry was wearying. She then looked in his face again and said, "It doesn't appear that you have any money for coffee."
"My money is in my room, and if you would loan me enough for the coffee, I would be more than happy to pay you back once I find my room," said Barry.
Tiffany nodded and said, "I'll buy you a cup of coffee so you don't have to worry paying me back."
"Thank you; that's generous of you," said Barry.
Tiffany grinned and said, "Follow me." She then walked passed Barry and entered the hallway. Barry followed. Tiffany glanced back once they were in the hall. "Barry, since I'm buying you coffee it's only fair that I know a little bit about you."
"There's really nothing to tell," said Barry.
"Well, I see that you're injured so tell me about that," said Tiffany.
"I was involved in the crash-landing the other day," said Barry. "The doctors say that I have a few cracked ribs, lacerations and other minor injuries."
"Were you on the plane or were you one of the motorists off the highway?" asked Tiffany.
Tiffany noticed a hesitation before he said, "I was one of the motorists."
"Did you have to think about that?" asked, Tiffany.
"No," Barry said in a snappy response. Tiffany looked at Barry in a skeptical manner. "I was thinking of something else when you asked that."
Barry caught the skeptical tone in Tiffany's voice when she said, "Okay." Barry just slightly grinned. "So are you from around here?"
"I actually just recently moved here so I'm not familiar with the city," said Barry.
"Where are you from?" asked Tiffany.
Barry said in an evading tone, "No where from around here."
"Okay, you don't have to tell me if you don't want too," said Tiffany.
"Thanks for understanding," said Barry.
Tiffany just politely grinned and nodded.
In the operation room, Beth and Dr. Snyder were preparing Mr. Randolph for a heart bypass. Before Dr. Snyder began he asked, "Dr. O'Brian, this is your fourth bypass surgery as an assisting doctor, isn't it?"
"Yes, Dr. Snyder," said Beth. "The one before this was a double bypass though."
"Are you comfortable enough to be the actual surgeon and I be your assistant?" asked Dr. Snyder.
"I am, Dr. Snyder," said Beth as she showed a noticeable smile even though she was wearing her mask. "Oh, you may not be able to tell, but I have a happy grin on my face."
"I actually can tell, Dr. O'Brian, and you should get started," said Dr. Snyder.
"Yes, doctor and thank you for trusting me with this opportunity," said Beth.
"You're welcome," said Dr. Snyder. Beth then began the operation.
At Gregg's office, Number-Six was once again by herself as Greg was out showing houses to prospective clients.
Number-Six was learning all she could about the Internet and viruses when William stepped in. When the announcement bell sounded, Number-Six looked up and saw William.
As William stepped up to Number-Six's desk, she asked, "What brings you here?"
"Have you heard about the explosion at the kid's hospital," asked William.
"You mean the children's hospital and yes I heard about it," said Number-Six.
"Well, have you heard about the accusations that are going around that the explosion was an act of terrorists?" asked William.
"I heard that they actually believe it to be an accident, and that they're only investigating it to rule out terrorism," said Number-Six.
"The local authorities might believe that it was an accident, but the population are outraged and accusing a group of people known as the Iraqis," said William. "The others and I believe that we can use their own mistrust for one and another against them."
"What do you have in mind?" asked Number-Six.
"Among the colonies, terrorist groups would follow the same pattern when they attack their victims," said William. "Chances are human groups from Earth will also fall into a pattern. We need to find that pattern of certain groups and then as we create havoc, we would make sure that a certain groups of humans would get the blame."
"By doing that would force a conflict between the nations," said Number-Six.
"Exactly," said William.
"Okay, I will use the Internet and do some research," said Number-Six. "If I find anything useful, I'll let you know."
"Several of us will be at the same place that you saw me last night," said William. "So if you need me you can find me there."
"Okay," said Number-Six as she changed her search in the search engine. "Bye."
"Bye," said William. He then turned and walked out.
Number-Six searched the Internet for several minutes before finding useful information. She then broadened her search once she read what was there. Within several minutes she found a few things that would help the Cylons' cause.
On board the Greys' space station, enough of the files were restored to determine that the space station was a movable observatory.
Galen and his crew had taken several hours to examine the propulsion system. After they were done Galen stepped up to Apollo and said, "Captain, I'm not certain as to how long it will take, but my men and I could modify the propulsion system and install an FTL drive."
"That would help with the fleet's overcrowding," one of Galen's men added.
"I will take the matter up with Cmdr. Adama," said Apollo.
"Capt. Adama, I have more of the files restored," said Dr. Atkins. "Are you ready to see it?"
After everyone stepped up to the monitor, Apollo said, "Start it."
Dr. Atkins started the data and it was an observation taken during one of the worse battles of the American Civil War that the confederacy had won.
"Okay, those are obviously humans," said Galen. "The weapons that they are using though… well I have never seen anything so primitive before."
"It looks as though they're manually reloading their weapons after each shot," Starbuck added.
"There's also as much hand to hand fighting as there are weapon firing," said one of Galen's men.
"Dr. Atkins, can you give me a time frame to when this was recorded?" asked Apollo.
Dr. Atkins ran a check that took a minute. He then said, "It's more than a hundred years old, but less than two hundred. I can't be more precise then that."
"If this recording is from Earth, the Cylons will have a field day with them once they find Earth," said Galen.
"Chief, the Cylons has already found Earth," said Apollo.
"Then it's over," said Galen.
"Not yet it's not," said Apollo.
Galen pointed to the monitor and said, "Even if this event was an even two hundred years old, there is no way that they can be advance enough now for them to even defend themselves against the Cylons. I'm mean look at them. They're manually reloading their rifles and what I can only imagine to be primitive cannons between each shot."
"Kim is the one who has the most confidence in the Earth forces, but even Seth, Jess and the others who are from Earth claim that Earth forces won't be an easy prey for the Cylons," said Starbuck.
"The Earth forces had to advance a hell of a lot over a two-hundred-year time for them not to be an easy prey," said Galen.
"Dr. Atkins, record all of this that you can," said Apollo. "When it's done, we'll return to the Galactica with it and Galen's recommendation to add the station to our fleet."
"Captain, perhaps Dr. Atkins and I should stay behind so he can continue restoring the files," said Starbuck.
"I'm not leaving anyone on this ship without at least a way off of it if something would arise," said Apollo. "We'll all leave, but we won't stay gone long."
"You're the boss," Starbuck said in a smug manner.
"Thank you for recognizing that," said Apollo. Starbuck just grinned. He then turned towards Galen. "Anyway chief, start shutting down power to everything except to what Dr. Atkins is doing. I don't what this station being picked up by the Cylons."
"Yes, Sir," said Galen. He then turned towards his men. "Okay, you heard the captain. Let's start shutting things down."
