What If? Galactica jumps into the middle of the Expanse Sol system.

[Harlock]

We know Tylium explodes if struck by a missile, we know ships carry decent quantities of the stuff, we know the fuel would detonate when a ship explodes. So why is it that everytime a ship gets destroyed we don't see a release of energy commensurate with the energy stored in Tylium?

Even if you ignore it is burnt as rocket fuel and insist it is only for Jump drives Raiders would carry it and we see them shot down all the time. Why don't they kill everything for miles around? Why do the ships that kill them from 20 metres away think thats totally fine when they know these things are carrying enough power to start the apocalypse?

Why do the people who refine Tylium do it in an open refinery where they dump the stuff on conveyor belts into furnaces with no safety kit at all. Why are they allowed to go home when the Tylium dust in their hair and clothes would have the energy to vaporise whatever ship they live on?

Why do they need so much of it for everyday tasks? Why does a random refinery ship carry enough to power Colonial civilisation for a thousand years? Why is supply and demand not a thing? Why does Scorpia have so much? Why do Battlestars need so much Scorpia yards needs hoses to pump it into the docked ships?

It is because you are wrong, and if you are not then go ahead and provide some answers. If you can't then concede the Tylium point and focus on something else to prove your point like nukes or whatever

"Suspension of disbelief in regards to the existence of this SF series shattered due to lack of shallow lesbianic relationships detailed in this synopsis."

Yes absolutely I'd leave that in too.

You've entered restricted space, in what appears to be. You can't be serious how the hell did you have this built?

Is this the Earth's solar system, this is.

You really expect us to believe that "Commander Adama". You know God or should I say gods good and damn well the 'frack' it is

Tell ya what kid, I'm really impressed. Damn impressive, model you've got here no idea how you built it, but we'll be needing you to power down and prepare to be boarded, I'm reading you stockpiled it with nukes.

And parked it right in shipping lane.

I don't think we'll be doing that.

Who in hades are you? How do you know my name?

I'd call that episode

Ceres Trouble

 

[Coyote]

They'd show up, Ceres seems like an interesting one.

Identify yourself you've appeared in a major Shipping Lane.

What language was that it's a cylon trap.

Ceres was the goddess of the harvest and was credited with teaching humans how to grow, preserve, and prepare grain and corn. She was thought to be responsible for the fertility of the land.

I think that's not a very farmarbale rock down there to be named Harvest.

No look dradis contacts all across as far as we can see.

And I think they might try to board us, let's send something smaller and try to Jump back further in.

I think we just found one of Earth's colonies.

I know it rips off the above one but mine sounds better.

 

[Spartan303]

Interesting. Go on.

 

[Carrot of Truth]

The best result of this scenario is that the BSG humans get introduced to the superior swear word of "Fuck" and its variations.
