Among other completely improbable details observed by me
Works out this way for this note only because of my completely random choices earlier, before I thought of the content of this note
You won't know what that was by reading this note
Presumably, explaining this is why this all started for me

You're a lot brighter than you look.
You shut up.
Two of your snot-nosed jockeys flew by at over 400 knots. I want their butts! Damn it, that's twice. I want some butts!

PINK FLOYD
"Learning To Fly"
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast,
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Battlestar Galactica - tv miniseries - 12/08/2003, 12/09/2003
(from internet transcript)
Doral: You mixed the samples up! I'm human!
(CIC)
Dualla: (using some kind of scanner) It's not hot, sir.
Tigh: Very well. Remove it.
Gaeta: Ahh, I don't see anything in the maintenance records about it, sir, but I'm pretty sure I first noticed it about a week ago.
Tigh: And you didn't say anything? Didn't investigate a new piece of equipment that just appeared in CIC?
Gaeta: No, sir. I just assumed that it was part of the museum. Sorry, sir, there's no excuse.
Tigh: You're not alone, Lieutenant. Any one of us should have seen the perfectly obvious staring us in the face. Especially the ship's XO.
Dualla: What should I do with it, sir?
Tigh: Take it to Dr. Baltar. I've given him clearance - he's become our resident Cylon expert. Have him take it to the lab, figure out whether it's a bug, or whatever the hell it is. In the meantime, I want every inch of this ship searched for any other equipment that just appeared in the last week.
(Outside)
Intercom: Starbuck, Galactica. You should be approaching turn eight.
Starbuck: Copy that. Starting to lose wireless contact. Making the final turn now. Galactica, Starbuck. I boost(?) the threshold. Galactica, do you read me? Galactica, do you read me? (checks readings) That can't be right. (There are lots and lots and lots of Cylons waiting out there.)
Battlestar Galactica - tv miniseries - 12/08/2003, 12/09/2003
Pilot: It definitely scanned us before it jumped.
Apollo: We have to go, now. The Cylons will be here any minute.
Roslin: Will they be able to track us through a jump?
Apollo: No, sir, it's impossible.
Roslin: Theoretically impossible.
Apollo: Theoretically.
Doral: Madame President, there are still thousands of people on the sublight ships, we can't just leave them.
Pilot: I agree. We should use every second to get as many people off the sublights as we can. We can wait to jump until we pick up a Cylon strike force -
Apollo: We're easy targets. They're gonna jump right in the middle of our ships with a handful of nukes and wipe us out before we have a chance to react.
Doral: You can't just leave them all behind, you'll be sacrificing thousands of people.
Apollo: But we'll be saving tens of thousands. I'm sorry to make it a numbers game, but we're talking about the survival of our race, here, and we don't have the luxury of taking risks and hoping for the best. Because if we lose, we lose everything, and Madame President, this is a decision that needs to be made right now.
Roslin: Order the fleet to jump to Ragnar immediately.
