After so long, after the devastation of finding the ruined Earth, they'd once again had hope, of a sort.

Until it all fell apart. Again.

President Roslin had collapsed almost at the same moment that Galactica rocked with an explosion against the ship's hull. The deliberate close-proximity jump Boomer had made with her stolen Raptor during the kidnapping of Hera Agathon had damaged Galactica beyond repair. There had been no other choice, really, but to begin decommissioning her for parts now, before those last few planned jumps; with the President in sickbay, there's no chance to try an evacuation, not now. Fleet command will be transferred to the Cylon Baseship, and that soon.

Hoshi's still reeling from it all. When the Admiral's call had gone out, and they had all gathered in the bay to hear him speak, he hadn't been sure what he would do at first - but it didn't take long to make up his mind. He'd had to volunteer for the mission, no matter the risk; for Helo's sake, for Hera's, for all the many reasons... it was the right thing. He had to.

But as it turned out, Admiral Adama had other ideas.

(Admiral of the Fleet. Oh, gods.)

When Louis Hoshi steps through the door into Milliways, he's pale as death, but determined. Hard though it may be, his duty is clear, and there's no question in his mind.

He won't abandon his post. No matter the cost.
