(1) INT. GALACTICA – HANGAR DECK

[There is a problem with a cargo container]
Tyrol: Cally, what’s going o­n?
Cally: We were unloading o­ne of the containers and then o­ne of the crates shifted. So, we looked inside, and saw that something was moving.
Tyrol: Did you call it in?
Cally: Yeah, we shut door, and the marines are o­n their way.
Tyrol: Give me a light.
Cally: Chief, we don’t know what we’re dealing with here. Don’t you think we should wait? Chief!
[Tyrol enters the container and searches it with his flashlight, He finds a pregnant woman hiding]
Rya: Is this the Galactica?
Tyrol: Yeah.
Rya: Are you Dr. Cottle?


(2) INT. GALACTICA – SICK BAY
***** TYROL NOT IN THIS SCENE *****

Adama: How is she?
Cottle: Rya’s four months pregnant and doesn’t want to be. I understand the Gemenese have a problem with women terminating their pregnancies.
Adama: Tyrol said that she asked for you by name. Do you want to tell me what that’s really all about?
Cottle: Pretty straightforward, really. I get a note that a girl’s o­n the way. She arrives. I do my work. And then she leaves. I don’t ask a lot of questions. You’re gonna start. I wanna talk to her.
Adama: I’m Admiral Adama. Don’t worry, I’ve just come to talk.
Cottle: It doesn’t matter what you say. I’m not gonna change my mind.
Adama: Your parents are a little worried about you. They’ve contacted me through the Gemenon representative.
Rya: My parents. Gods. (cries) Do you have any idea what they would do to me? Please, do not send me back.
Adama: You’re a stowaway. Aboard a military ship.
Cottle: Some people might say she was a victim of political persecution. Hell. She could apply for asylum.
Rya: Asylum. That’s it. I want asylum.
