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 09
When Coker wants to send a rescue signal for the mortally wounded Toth, Adama and Doctor Kelly instead insist that they press on toward Doctor Kelly’s objective.
Coker demands to know Doctor Kelly’s mission, and she finally explains that she will upload a virus to the Cylons’ communications array.
Once they find the array, Dr. Kelly begins her upload, but Coker shoots her and disarms Adama when he sees a Battlestar on the communications screen – Doctor Kelly is transmitting information about the ghost fleet to the Cylons.
She shoots Coker several times and justifies her betrayal: she believes that the war will only end when humans negotiate with the Cylons, who she thinks value life more than humans do.
Accepting that Doctor Kelly is a traitor, Adama destroys the communications unit.
He drags a badly wounded Coker out of the array, leaving Doctor Kelly behind.
