Plot Summary
Battlestar Galactica's crew hasn't slept in 250 hours, as they race to escape the
Cylons. Every 33 minutes -- the time it takes the
Cylons to follow -- the entire fleet makes a Faster Than Light jump. Baltar panics when Dr. Anaorak contacts President Roslin from aboard the Olympic Carrier, claiming to have information about the Cylon attack. Roslin wishes to meet with him after the next jump is completed, but on arrival at the new coordinates the Carrier is missing. It reappears 33 minutes later, but the
Cylons do not follow. When the Carrier does not respond to communications, it is discovered that there is a nuclear warhead onboard, and Starbuck and Apollo are ordered to shoot the carrier out of the sky, despite the possibility that the 1300 passengers are still alive.
