That seemed the most logical approach. As does having the Battlestar Pacifica out of the picture. The (apparent) loss of Galactica's sister ship so close on the heels of the loss of the 5th fleet would probably shake the Colonials up.

It also helps that, when listening to the bridge chatter in SAGA you could just as easily take what's said as: "Pacifica's" or "Pacificus", which has led to bit of extrapolation that will be mentioned later.

Point taken. I intended the prologue to capture Adama's anxiety over the situation, not having to wear dress blues. I was also trying to be frugal with words as I felt the prologue was running long. However I've made some tentative edits to my work file and put back in something I took out. Wont be updating the blog post but, when the final act is posted, I'll likely make a PDF for the board.

So if you see anything else that seems out of character or that doesn't capture the tone of BSG let me know.

Thanks for the input.
