While Ares
brings trouble within the fleet, the Cylons strike from without.
Didja Notice?
Page 1 reveals that Dr. Wilker had been paralyzed in a Cylon
attack 7 yahrens ago and later designed a fully mobile android
body for himself, into the positronic brain of which he managed
to transfer his essence.
Looking at the demolished temporal overdrive on the
Galactica, Athena laments that it was second only to the
main energizer as the heart and soul of the ship for the past 15
yahrens. In Colonial terms, an energizer is a power generator,
as revealed with Siress Belloby's spare energizer to be traded for
seed on the planet Sectar in
"The Magnificent
Warriors".
This issue depicts the Galactica's Vipers having the names of
their pilots painted below the cockpit canopy.
On page 18, Starbuck thinks of a quote from his old flight
instructor, "Always have a backup plan." Presumably this would
be the same flight instructor, Lt. Wyler,
who
told him, "A viper pilot only flies three vipers...the one he
trains in, the one he escapes from...and the one he dies in," in
"Starbuck"
Part 1.
The escape pod in which
Starbuck jettisons himself and Ares out into space on page 22
appears to have the number 71 on it.
Starbuck is presumed dead when the escape pod is jettisoned into
space and he is not seen at all in the next mini-series,
Apollo's Journey. He is revealed to still be alive in
"Journey's End" Part 1, having crash-landed on a desert planet.
