The countdown to the attacks on both the Cylon Garrison and the Pulsar Cannon control station is soon approaching as Leda, Croft and Apollo get ready to make their last stand surprise assault and plant their explosives...

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: PERIL IN THE INTAKE PIPE!

No sooner have the Colonials penetrated the intake pipe then they have to hold on for dear life as the tunnel shaft is activated. Thankfully, its duration is mercifully brief and they finally infiltrate the control/pump station area, readying themselves for attack.

Apollo and his colleagues brace themselves through intense air pressure and noise.

Their objective achieved...

Croft provides cover as the others follow.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: REACHING THE INTAKE PIPE!

It's been a long and difficult climb, but our three Colonial heroes reach the vital point of the mountain that will lead them into the Pulsar Weapon control area and the section which needs to be exploded...

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: TARGET: GALACTICA!

Now in the firing corridor, and within tracking range, it's only a matter of time before the Cylons will surely destroy the last Battlestar...

Vulpa and a subordinate monitor the enemy's progress through the corridor.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: THE ESCAPE BID!

A shocking surprise for Apollo.

The time has come when, upon reaching the ridge, Wolfe and Leda hold Apollo at gun point as they prepare to steal a nearby Cylon fighter. Apollo's reaching out to Wolfe and Leda to help destroy the weapon fails, and as Wolfe prepares to kill Apollo, a distracting pulsar blast helps Croft surprise tackle and fight his criminal associate, and retrieve his blaster. As Wolfe runs into the snow, Croft prepares to kill him, but ultimately hesitates. Apollo knows that Wolfe will never make it to the Cylon landing area...

A dignified Croft forces Leda to help him and Apollo in the final stages of their mountain ascension. They have a mission to complete, and a fleet of human survivors to save from annihilation...

Wolfe holds his concealed blaster on Apollo.

Apollos attempts at reason fail...

Croft tackles and fights Wolfe.

Croft takes aim at the retreating Wolfe, but hesitates...

Wolfe disappears into the snow.

Croft forces Leda back to the Colonial cause.

Croft is now put in full command. "This mission goes through..."

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45: THE FLEET FORMS UP!

An interesting group shot of the fleet, featuring some rarely seen space vehicles from the series.

Knowing that the Galactica can no longer be the slowest vessel of the Rag-Tag fleet, the mighty vessel speeds its way into the death corridor of the pulsar, whilst the survivor vessels behind it are given orders to increase interval spacings and also bolster their speed near their protector vessel.

'ICE PLANET ZERO' AT 45 - CLOSING IN TO DESTRUCTION!

Another close shave for the Galactica as its bridge crew react to the continuous bombardment of Arcta's pulsar weapon against them, which generates too many and numerous destructive near misses. 

The energy beams grow closer and closer...

And the Cylon Basestars are closing in behind them...

A tense sequence of building threat that was well edited for this episode...
