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 08
Adama and Coker search the compound for Doctor Kelly, who disappeared when the Cylons arrived.
Toth is shot multiple times by a centurion; his fate remains unknown.
Meanwhile, Doctor Kelly stumbles into a cold storage room filled with human body parts – likely the “spares” Toth mentioned in the previous episode.
She hides inside from a Centurion, who finds her when she exhales loudly.
Instead of killing her, the Centurion scans at length a microchip dog tag she wears around her neck.
Adama and Coker burst in and Coker shoots the Centurion. The Centurion crashes to the floor and emits a high-frequency wail, which Doctor Kelly explains as screaming – the Cylons can feel pain.
Coker puts the Centurion out of its misery and the three set off to look for Toth.
