0913. The Twins make their way down the corridor with yelling all around; everybody's covered in blood spatters and there are people shooting at the Marines, going past in different directions, all in a separate madness, the maximum chaos that Felix has created and still thinks he's doing something worthwhile. A loyalist holds up his gun and goes, "Whoa, whoa" when they come upon him. It's all just running around.
0922 and frantic on CIC; Jaffe comes running in yelling about how the array has been fucked with: there's no fire, no nothing. Just lies. Felix screams to Nowart, just like Natalie: "Sergeant of the Guards get your Marines in here! Nobody gets in or out!" Bill wonders aloud WTF is going on, and Felix crips on down toward them as somebody takes a shot and things go seriously Kent State. Jaffee shoves him out of the way and takes the bullet, and Felix almost starts crying with how fucked up everything is, and yells at his men to cease fire. Tigh tells him to eat a dick, and Felix stares around, freaking out and promising everybody he's in control of this. Even though it's obvious what's going on, which is an uprising by the forgotten trashy proletariat who haven't been besties with Athena or raised Hera on New Caprica or gone on a sweet dimensional roller-coaster jump ride in the arms of a Hybrid, and don't know what it's like to go more than a second without being hungry and angry and scared, Bill is more concerned about how Jaffee is dead.
That Gaeta song starts playing as Gaeta formally mutinies: "Admiral Adama, I am removing you from command of this ship. I am taking you into custody on the charge of treason." Adama stands right up from his knees about that, because what? "You swore an oath when you put that uniform on. You pledged to defend this ship and her crew." Felix is not interested in that oath, but he will be holding Bill to it anyway. "For seven years, I have done my frakking job and for what? To take orders from a Cylon? To let machines network our ship? No, you... you are not the leader that you were when we started. You're just a sad, old man that has let his heart and his affection for a Cylon cloud his judgment."
