Outline (General)
Set in the tenth year of the First Cylon War, the story follows William Adama, a young pilot just graduated from the Academy, assigned to one of the battlestars in the Colonial fleet: the Galactica.
The series provides a very basic frame of reference to the events that ensued in the time between the prequel series Caprica, and the basis series Battlestar Galactica.
Outline Series 01, Episode 07
Toth takes Adama, Coker and Doctor Kelly into the abandoned resort, where Toth says the Cylons previously stored “spare parts”.
He has rigged the perimeter with mines and set up a generator inside to keep heat running.
Doctor Kelly later confides to Adama that her husband’s status as a war hero was completely fabricated by the Colonial army. He did not singlehandedly defeat a Cylon platoon; rather, his exploratory mission was felled by friendly fire.
She emphasises that the war must end, with which Adama agrees before tenderly touching her. She tells him that “you will regret this”, and they sleep together.
Shortly after, Adama finds Coker deftly playing a grand piano, and Coker quickly surmises what has happened between Adama and Doctor Kelly.
Just as he begins telling Adama that Doctor Kelly’s objective is more than it seems, one of Toth’s mines explodes and Cylon Centurions approach the compound.
