JackFisk, serial number 245A-34DC, is the Executive Officer of the battlestar Pegasus (serving as a Colonel) when he and Admiral Helena Cain discover Galactica.
Fisk is a typical orders-only XO who generally keeps to the status quo established by his commanding officer.
Fisk later details to Tigh (again, over drinks) the fate of a civilian fleet that accompanied Pegasus for a time before Admiral Cain ordered their ships stripped of supplies, parts, and people, killing the families of any conscripts who refused to leave.
This story is remarkable both for the way in which Fisk coolly continued to report horrific events of which he was the focal point and the greater meaning of the event itself in light of the triumphalism of the Bush administration and its supporters in the press and public.
There, a man in advanced middle age, whom Fisk believes to be a mullah, came to Fisk's aid and guided him to the back of a police truck that took Fisk to the hospital.
In another gripping story, Fisk writes of his encounter with a lone woman fleeing the remnants of her village, telling Fisk of each of her children who were crushed in their hut under a American bomb.
