They were always going to question her decisions. On again, off again Admiral Faust, recipient of the distinguished honor of two usurpations of power, and current jail bird. In the face of overwhelming Cylon forces, it was natural that the new leaders would question the old ones.
And some would love to capitalize on the madness. Take advantage of the changing of the guard, the turmoil within. Use it as a chance to inject more venom into the situation, weakening the admiral before she ever formally took command. It was, in short, an opportunity for ostentatious action.
Whom the blame fell on almost was irrelevant. Chaos for chaos sake some decided. One where convenient targets existed. And if the new admiral could be weakened prior to full transition? So much the better.
But chaos was not the only thing lurking. Inside Galactica were a myriad of ‘upgrades’ and 'improvements. Faust had hidden protocols, worked with the flight squads to place sensors all over. Ultimately made decisions that looked horrible on the face, but might just save the day.
Barely had the command authorization been received, when one such sensor started going off. Then another. Radiation detectors were spiking wildly near the tylium mining barge. The provenance of this data temporarially overshadowed by the value.
There would be a reckoning with Faust later, but for now the bombs were stopped.
