"Attention on the bridge."

Everyone stopped and looked around.  Admiral Adama seldom requested their 
attention like this; he preferred to let people do their jobs.  It was 
Colonel Tigh who get in their face, yell at them for mistakes, and grunt 
appreciation if things went well.  Adama would simply issue his orders and 
then fade into the background, awaiting developments.

"You have all known the difficulties we've faced," Adama said in his usual, 
understated but still commanding voice.  "And through them all we've had one 
abiding goal: to find Earth."

Adama raised his chin.  "Well, I am happy to report that one of our crew has 
found certain knowledge of Earth's location.  His extensive search amidst 
our records, combined with the star charts we got from Kobol, allows us to 
plot the exact position of Earth.  Our next jump will be the jump to Earth."

The bridge crew erupted with cheering.  At long last, an escape from the 
Cylons, and perhaps new allies to find in their long-lost brethren.  At long 
last, a new place to call home after the abysmal failure of New Caprica.

Adama waited for the cheering to subside, then nodded to the young officer. 
"Are you ready?"

The officer straightened to attention.  "Yes sir!"

"Then plot the course for Earth, Lieutenant Hibiki..."
