Captain, we have to know how many base ships we're dealing with.
No base ships.
You must be mistaken, Captain! Fighters couldn't function this far from Cylon without base ships; they don't carry enough fuel!
I said no base ships! Just fighters, maybe a thousand.
How do you count for that, Apollo?
I don't know. They...! We picked up an empty tanker on our scanner. It's my guess the Cylons used it to refuel for the attack after flying to that point from wherever their base ships are.
Well, why operate this far from Cylon without base ships when it isn't necessary? They would've been well out of our range at the old moon!
Unless it was necessary... for them to be somewhere else! Get me the President!!
