The bridge of the Galactica was as busy as it would be during a red alert. Athena and Omega manned their consoles, taking reports from damage control and co-ordinating efforts to secure needed raw material from the other ships in the dilapidated fleet. Fortunately, the Cylons had concentrated their attack on the battlestar, hoping to destroy their greatest threat first so that they could then dispose of the remainder of the fleet at their leisure. Thanks to the Pegasus, the fleet had escaped damage from the Cylon attack, with only a few ships taking hits from incidental fire. Only those most severely damaged would be scavenged for material to repair the Galactica. Accommodations would become even more crowded, but no one would complain. They were happy to have survived.

"Commander Cain has just departed for the Pegasus, sir," said Colonel Tigh.

Adama nodded thoughtfully. "I wonder if we'll ever see him again," he said quietly.

Tigh frowned. "But I thought you felt his plan was sound."

"It was the only plan we had," replied Adama. "I'd give anything to have an alternative."

"But you're sending Apollo with the ground assault team," said Tigh.

"Yes," Adama said. "I am."

He sat down in his chair, leaned back and closed his eyes. Tigh did not envy him. He had had a brief taste of what it was like to command a battlestar and, brief though it had been, it had been enough. Perhaps Cain got all the glory, Tigh thought, but Adama was the real hero. It was a role he never wanted, but he had accepted it because there had been no one else. If they managed to find Earth, Adama would be hailed as a savior, but at that moment, Tigh knew that he would trade it all just to get a night of peaceful sleep.
