Razor Flashbacks

Razor Flashbacks is a 2007 web series which was filmed as part of the Razor marketing campaign, with all parts adding up to 20 minutes when combined. The Razor Flashbacks are set during the First Cylon War, as told from the perspective of Lt. William "Husker" Adama during his service on board Galactica. Several, but not all, of the episodes aired on TV as parts of the film.
==Plot==
===Part 1===
It is day 4,571 of the First Cylon War. Husker having sex with a Raptor pilot, Jaycie, and they joke about him being spotted by Commander Nash hanging his boots at the hatch. After they finish, they get ready for their upcoming mission to an ice planet. Although it is in a strategically unimportant sector of space, it is well defended and the Admiralty believes it to be the site of advanced weapons research. The two also bring up rumours of a peace treaty being negotiated with the Cylons, though they agree it will go nowhere as they believe Cylons are not people and would not respond to such a thing. Husker is worried about seeing action in this mission, and admits that the boy he was when the war began would never have thought he'd grow up to enlist. The Raptor pilot talks about how she was almost killed by a Raider early in her career too, and destroyed it without thinking. As they talk, Raptor Squadron 2 is ordered to prepare for their recon mission, and Jaycie leaves.
===Part 2===
Following the Raptor mission, Galactica is placed on Condition 1 and all Viper pilots being prepared for launch. Arriving on one of the hangar decks, Husker learns from his wingman, Banzai, that the Raptor mission took heavy casualties with two being destroyed just after arriving above the planet. Husker spots Jaycie receiving medical attention by a Marine corpsman; she has suffered third degree burns on the left side of her face with one eye irreparably damaged following a console explosion.
Husker sits in the cockpit of his Viper, which is about to launch. He is distracted by thoughts of Jaycie, but finally snaps out of it and completes the flight check.
=== Part 3 ===
A flotilla of three battestars have jumped into orbit over the ice planet. The basestars are in a fierce stand-off with at least three basestars, and are firing missiles at one another, while their respective fighter craft fight in the space surrounding them. After taking out a Raider, Husker is ordered back to the squadron who are being redirected to Columbia's position. The battlestar has taken severe damage from missile impacts, and it can no longer defend itself, and a Raider squadron is taking full advantage of this fact. Though the additional Vipers are successful in outperforming the distracted Raiders, only Columbia itself can repel the missiles. After several more strikes, a massive explosion occurs amidship, splitting it in two. 
Having witnessed the explosion, Husker is overcome by his nerves but once again shakes himself out of it and pursues the two closest Raiders into the ice planet's atmosphere against Banzai's warnings. He destroys one of the Raiders almost immediately, but loses the second in a layer of clouds. The Raider reverses course and collides with Husker's Viper sending it spiralling down.
=== Part 4 ===
Unable to halt the Viper's spiralling, Husker bails out. While falling, one of the surviving Raider crewmen shoots at him from the sky, but Husker escapes it by deploying his parachute. He lands near its position, and beats it to death with a steel bar. Husker finds himself within a factory and starts searching for any more Cylons.
=== Part 5 ===
While searching the factory, Husker discovers a room covered in human body parts, with evidence suggesting the Cylons were experimenting with cybernetics. When he puts his hand in a strange tank, he hallucinates the final moments of the Cylons' prisoners sealed in cages awaiting their surgeries, and feels someone touch his arm though the tank is empty. A voice echoes around the room: "All this has happened before. It will happen again." When Husker calms down, he notices someone is banging on a door and realises the Cylons have left some of their test-subjects behind.
=== Part 6 ===
Husker talks to the man at the door. He learns he is from a civilian ship which was captured by the Cylons, and is one of fifty prisoners taken to the ice planet. Though he does not know what the Cylons' plans were, he does know most of the prisoners have been taken away and killed, and they have abandoned the factory and the remaining prisoners. Husker tries to get the door open but finds the Cylons have welded the door to prevent escape. Meanwhile, the torturers depart in a nearby Basestar, sending out a shockwave which shakes the factory. Believing the factory may collapse on top of their only rescuer, he sends Husker out of the building, and tells him they are Gemenese civilians from the ship Diana so their fates will be known.
=== Part 7 ===
Husker departs the factory and watches the Basestar leave the planet. On the radio, he warns Galactica of the ship's departure and the nature of the Cylon project, but rather than intercept the ship he is told an armistice agreement has just been ratified. There is nothing left to do but pick up the stranded pilot.
40 years later, the now Commander Adama stares at a dead Cylon preserved as one of Galactica's museum exhibits. He is told by the museum's PR manager, Aaron Doral that his soon Captain Leland Adama has been given orders to report in to take part in the upcoming ceremonial fly-by. As Doral leaves, Adama continues his tour of the museum's exhibits.
