*Next morning:*

Atalante enters the office of Admiral Adama

Adm. Adama: "Your choice is made ?"

M. Atalante: "It was even made, yesterday. I didn't want to carry it into the lounge, Sir."

Adm. Adama: "Well done, Lieutenant - and?"

M. Atalante: "It has been true words, you spoke, yesterday, Sir - though I had the
impression, you wanted to give us a bad feeling about our own decisions - better to follow yours...
But I decided to retire. I am not able to fight a religion, as I said, not for - not against.
As you may have found out, this morning - or yesterday - the envelope has all the paperwork in it.
- ready filled in - so you only need to put your sign on it.
My wearing of civillian clothes may show you, what I expect.
I handed out all my uniforms and the ship. Please give it to someone worth to fly it.
That's all I ask you for.

*Admiral Adama gives her an angry look - he can't hide his disappoinment and signs the papers.*

Adm. Adama: You are free to go, now. You have plans ?

M. Atalante: "Yes, I bought me a large train.
I will continue the search for a new world. It's just another way to do it."

Adm. Adama: "It'll be a long and lonely one, Maria."

*She notices the using of her name and has to bite her tongue, not to use his.*

M. Atalante: "No, Sir. It may look like.
I still have my believes, my thoughts, my ideals. I bet, it's not one day of standing alone.
May god bless you and our civilisation, Sir. My shuttle... you know..."

Adm. Adama: "Ah, yes. You are a civillian, now. Not allowed to be here."
Safe flights to you and your train. What was it's name ? Anyway - go now."

M. Atalante: "Sir"
