Today we're jumping up one episode to
"The Passage"

The entire fleet is cranky and hungry from strict food rationing.  Athena has found the algae planet and in order to get there the fleet has to travel through the radiation filled gas cloud.  Tensions are high, plans need to be made, and since it's been crisis after crisis with the fleet and fighter squadron the pilots still haven't been able to figure out where they stand.  Here's a handy episode rundown courtesy of Battlestar Wiki if you need specifics.

But first to catch you up....


Previously on the NT RPG:

We started the story at the end of UB and Lee and Kara remained laying in the boxing ring after everyone had gone.  The knuckledraggers were ordered by Tigh to get the hanger deck back into shape.  Helo came along and saved the day by getting the pilots up and off the deck.

Lee went on his own to the head to shower and clear his mind of all that had transpired at the dance.  Helo had another plan and dropped Starbuck right back into his lap by delivering her over his shoulder to the head.  The crew was sure to start gossiping so Starbuck cleared the room and she and Lee got down to talking about the current state of their relationship.  Lee won’t cheat and tells Kara he wants more, Kara admits leaving him in the field and marrying Anders was a mistake and lets it slip that there is more to her abduction on New Caprica.  Lee pushes and Kara agrees to talk to him about Leoben and what happened during the occupation

Meanwhile, Roslin sits with Adama in Sickbay while he’s getting patched up from his round with the Chief.  Cottle reprimands the old man and orders him off duty for 24 hrs.  The President escorts the Admiral back to his quarters and along the way they run into Col. Tigh who lets the cat out of the bag about Starbuck and Apollo’s night on New Caprica.  Adama is, of course, dumbfounded.  Once in Bill’s quarters Laura tells him that Kara would look to the stars at night and see Pegasus passing and that now she understood that all those months on New Caprica, Kara was missing Lee.

Chief and Cally were trying to sort out the crew chatter about the Dance and find out if the deck gang was doing their jobs or gossiping.  Helo and Athena discuss their friends and hope that none of them get hurt in the mess.  Sleep eludes Karl and he makes his way to the Gym where Starbuck is already going at the punching bag, the two talk and Kara confides in Helo about her situation with Sam and Lee.  He reminds her that she deserves to be happy.

Kat’s avoiding all the drama by heading to the firing range and in walks Sam Anders.  Sam knows he’s eventually going to have to face his wife but refuses to be the one to run after her.  Kat and Sam both shoot off a few rounds and Kat feels bad for the man as she has witnessed what a Starbuck dressing down does to a nugget, she invites him for a drink.

After his conversation about New Caprica with Kara in the ready room, Lee makes a decision that no matter what happens he’s leaving Dee.  He makes his way back to his quarters and begins to pack when Dee walks in.  Kara exhausted from the dance and talking, returns to the head to grab a shower before her lunch date with Apollo.

People all over Galactica know that things have changed and everyone wonders what will happen next…


I know this has been posted 100X but people like to have it at the ready instead of going back to older posts....

Captain Karl Agathon stares at the ceiling of his quarters, trying to focus on something other than his rumbling stomach.
His gaze falls on the small nightstand next to his bed. There's a quarter of a rations bar there. It's tempting to eat it...but Sharon is about to get off patrol, and it's for her.

He grits his teeth, and starts trying to remember the stats for all the colonies' pyramid teams...

Sam had never told Kara this, but every time he was on Galactica, he took some time to walk through the memorial hallway before catching his ride out. He was doing this now, paying his respects to these hundreds of people he never knew, and today he sat down at one of the benches and just let that sour sadness wash over him. It wasn't calming, but the reminder of the much bigger issues than the ones he was dealing with had a sedating effect.

It was hard to bitterly latch onto the sense of betrayal over what he knew was coming when everything was in perspective. He'd been far from perfect for Kara, didn't know down from up when he was with her cause he'd never loved anybody so relentlessly, but when his thoughts were more clear like this, it just seemed wrong for either of them to be wasting their time in this sad imitation of a marriage. Kara had been losing people her entire life, not just during the war, and if there was a place in her he just couldn't fill like Lee Adama could, there was no use trying to hold on.

Kat walks quietly around the outside of the Raptor she's been assigned for this crazy, suicide run. Her thoughts bounce randomly from hope to regret to fear. She's just glad she's not a marine at the moment, and can get out of watching over the milling civilians. On one level, she knew that 50,000 people was more in actuality than it seemed when compared to the populations of 12 worlds and dozens more moons; that it was one hell of a coincidence that she'd happened to be on the hanger deck when he got off, and that they'd just accidentally made eye contact. On another, she never dreamed there were enough people hide them from each other for so long.

Her fingers trailed over the smooth skin of the Raptor as her mind roiled. She swallowed hard. So much of her life hung in the balance now. So frakking much.

Kara had been avoiding Sam for days. It wasn't too hard when you didn't even live on the same ship, but she'd been making a good point of not being around if he was there. Best course of action? Probably not. But she was exhausted and pissed off--and hungry, but she tried not to think about that one--but she was becoming aware of the fact that the longer she put off confronting Sam, the more of a mess everything felt. So, when she heard through the Galactica grapevine that Sam was down by the memorial hallway, she figured she'd better suck it up and get it over with.

She rounded the corner and, for a moment, just watched Sam standing there among the photographs and notes and candles. Her husband. Not for much longer, though. A small part of her wanted to turn and leave before he could see her. Why the frak did this bother her so much? When she was younger, always leave first had been one of her main rules of a relationship. Of course, that was before Zak. You think she'd have learned her lesson after that. Then again, she was pretty damned sure she'd never get married after Zak, and look how that turned out.

Kara dug her hands into her pockets as she strode up to him. She'd made a vow to the gods to loves this man until death. Not the first time she'd lied by a long shot, but never to the gods before. Whatever. She'd had enough sins under her belt, what was one more?

Cally watches as Kat circles her bird. She wishes there were time to ask, "Are you OK?" As if anyone really is, as if she'd ever get a real answer from the tough viper jock, as if Cally could do anything if the answer were "no." They all have jobs to do. So she does hers and gently prods, "How's the checklist coming, LT? Any problems?"

"Done. No problems." Her answers are perfunctory, but she doesn't have it in her to offer anything more. They're all running on empty. She offers Cally a quick smile, but she knows it doesn't reach her eyes. Unable to deal with the concern she sees in Cally's face, she looks back at the Raptor. "Just getting the feel of the bird." She hopes that Cally understands she wants to be left alone.

When Kara's approach slid into Sam's awareness, he was rather unsurprised, and he didn't even have a very immediate reaction. With only a sidelong glance at the blonde figure, he let out a sigh.

"You know, I always look at these, and wonder just how embarrassed these people would be by these pictures. Some of them are really...really bad." The conversational comment wasn't to stall or distract or put on any airs; he used to do this all the time down on New Caprica when he could tell Kara's head was somewhere up in the stars instead of close to him, as if to give her the space to pretend things were fine, but now it was almost an imitation of that just for old time's sake. He didn't look at her to see the little grimace of a smile she was probably wearing, but then he had to look up at her and scoff uncomfortably, and say, "Should we do this here or somewhere else?"

Cally takes the hint and nods, backs off. But she can't shake the feeling that something's up with the former CAG, so she resolves to drop a few hints with Starbuck the first chance she gets.

It was in that moment Kara realized he wasn't going to put up a fight. She should've known. Sam rarely put up a fight. He wasn't going to try to scream or beg or make a scene; she knew Sam loved her and now he was just... going to let her go. A little bit of her hated him for that.

"Is there any good place to end a marriage, Sammy?" she asked. Sure, it wasn't the lightest way to put it, but no point in mincing words at this point. Maybe the memorial hall wasn't the worst place in the world. It was, after all, meant for dead things.

Chief looks around the deck and sees the effects of hunger are having on his crew. His crew is struggling with the lack of food there is no doubt. Work has been increasingly sloppy and taken longer to do. The Chief just a minute ago had to tighten a seal that if he didn't catch would have put a pilot in serious danger if he hadn't.

Chief felt bad for his people, They had lots of thankless labor to perform to keep these deteriorating birds in the air. If his people didn't do their jobs, pilots couldn't do their jobs and people can die.

He needed to kick his people's collective ass even if they hated him a little bit for it. If they are pissed at him, they can forget how hungry they are for alittle while.

"Come on can we at least look like we're working! We need to get the next CAP ready to launch, and Hotdog's viper still isn't ready. Let's move!" Chief starts shouting to his people. "Hey back to work!" He scowled to one specialist who seem to just be lounging "I was just taking a 5 minute break, Chief" Chief got in his face and told him "You can take a break when the CAP is off and maintenance is done on all these birds! If I catch you taking another break before then, my foot will be squarely up your ass, and you're next shift will be double!"

Chief stomped off and continued his assault on his crew, pushing them to work harder. He saw a few angry looks, but ignored them. A good kick in the ass is what they needed right now to refocus.

When the next CAP was launched he had to chance to catch up with Cally.

"Hey Cally, have you heard about Apollo? Seems he's bunking with his pilots these days. Haven't had a chance to ask him about it, but word is Lee and Dee are separated."
