Captain Apollo was listening to the nightly news broadcast on an old radio transmitter in his bunk. It helped him to fall asleep at night.
Heh, he thought. More ridiculous scandal rumors. He'd read about that "sexual harassment" case - turns out Roslin's former secretary had made the filing as a gambit to get an increased salary/benefits package. As for Dee leaving Roslin's quarters half-naked - well, it may not have been well known outside Galactica, but on-board it was hard not to know about Dee and Billy Kekeiya, the President's late secretary. His bunk was in the President's private quarters, and the news team must have somehow surfaced a video of her leaving his room - Before all of this crap started, he thought. I wonder who they'll sling mud at next. He was starting to dislike this reporter and her news team quite a lot.
He took a sip of his drink, placed it on the nightstand, and rolled over.

Lieutenant Gaeta awoke, groggily, to someone poking him. "Wha.. what do you want?" he moaned.
"Sorry, sir, but the Quorom meeting starts soon. I thought it prudent to rouse you." Gaeta glanced behind him and noticed a strange, alluring blond woman dozing under his covers. Where the hell did she come from? he wondered. I can hardly remember anything about last night.
"Additionally, sir, I think that you should be made aware that Captain Apollo was hospitalized last night. A Viper jock found him seizing in his bunk - Doc Cottle believes it may have been an attempted poisoning. He's stable now, but I couldn't find the Admiral earlier, so if you could please relate the news to h-"
"Sure, sure, I've got it," he mumbled. "Just get out so I can get ready." Things were getting stranger every day aboard Galactica.
They got even weirder as soon as Gaeta got to the Quorom Chamber. There, impossibly, stood Lt. Starbuck, and by the looks of shock on everyone else's faces she'd just arrived. Strange days indeed.
Nobody died last night! Kurtle is back!
It is now Day 3. Day 3 will end at ~10 PMish EST 4/25.
Quote: Hello, and welcome to the 11 o'clock news.
We go out to D'Anna Biers live on location for a special report.
Hello Tom. Today some very interesting events happened aboard the Galactica. As the day started off the body of Doctor Gaius Baltar was found and while the doctor wasn't a Cylon no one seemed upset about his death. Soon after the doctor's body was found however an explosion rocked the water tanks of the Galactica, the crew worked fast to secure everyone while they fixed the water tanks placing everyone on emergency rations.
After this everyone met once again to find out who among them was a Cylon, and while there wasn't much activity due to everyone's mind being elsewhere someone finally stood up and accused Petty Officer Crew Specialist 2nd Class Anastasia Dualla of being a Cylon and while Adama protested against this Anastasia was hauled off before he could do anything and was killed. When it was clear Anastasia was not a Cylon Admiral Adama in a fit of rage yelled at everyone about killing another innocent person and dismissed everyone from the room.
Afterwards I interviewed a few people about the Petty Officer and here is what they had to say.
"YouknowItellyouwhataboutthemdangol'Cylonmakingusk illourownkindbeingallworriedaboutthemkillingusands uch. Ijustcan'tbelieveityouknowmantwodaysinarollandweha ven'tgottenasingleCylonitisjustmessedupItellyouwha t."
"You know despite Anastasia Dualla being the Admiral's crew specialist I saw her hanging out with President Laura Roslin quite a bit, I can't count the times I saw them walking down the hall together, or the time I saw her coming out of the President's private quarters half dressed. Maybe they had a thing going on?"
"That fracking woman made me lose my job! I am glad she is dead."
Sounds like it is getting pretty serious out there D'Anna. Indeed Tom, hopefully the crew can start working together and listen to any clues around them and start getting the Cylons.
Well, you keep safe out there D'Anna. We'll be back after these commercials.
"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of Admiral Ackbar. His five-year mission: to explore strange new traps, to seek out new traps and new traps, and to boldly go where no man has gone before."
"This weekend at Space Red Long John's we are having a special on our Super Platter! Our super platter comes with a number of prime ingredients such as octopus, horse, cat, dog and covered with our famous vanilla sauce. So come in now and enjoy the best platter in the universe!"
A quick update before we leave you tonight, we have just received a recording that shows a half dressed Anastasia Dualla sneaking out of President Laura Roslin's private quarters in the middle of the night. We here at the network feel the need to remind you that before President Laura was elected she was part of a sexual harassment filed against her from a co-worker of hers.
That is all the time we have for tonight's news. Be sure to join us tomorrow night. This is Tom Voyage with D'Anna Biers signing out.
