text: The science team is found and partly rescued, but the team comes under fire from Cylon centurions. While the team manages to evacuate the basestar in a second Raptor, the nuclear warhead is damaged and has to be detonated manually. Wounded, Shaw remains behind to detonate the warhead and comes face to face with the Cylon hybrid. The hybrid offers absolution to Kendra, who is haunted by the fact that it was she who fired the first shot in the massacre aboard the civilian ship called Scylla as part of an operation to conscript civilians for the Pegasus. The hybrid then tells her that "Kara Thrace will lead the human race to its end. She is the herald of the apocalypse, the harbinger of death. They must not follow her". Shaw tries to relay this information to Lee Adama but is stopped when the Cylons jam communications. Her final act is to detonate the nuclear warhead, destroying the basestar.
  On Galactica, Admiral Adama reflects on Cain's legacy and proposes a posthumous commendation for Kendra Shaw, over his son's protests that she and other members of Admiral Cain's crew "butchered innocent civilians". They close their arguments noting that history's first draft will be written in their logs and Lee agrees to consider the commendation.
