(Galactica) How was the Pegasus able to escape?

In the movie Razor, the Pegasus sustains a near hit and then is able to escape as the propulsion appears to be working. It then jumps with an evidently operational jump drive.

The impression I get from the other attacks is that Cylons used some sort of system command to shutdown all systems. The Valkyrie Battlestars in orbit just turned off as did all the Vipers. Any explanation for the difference in this unique instance?

The Cylon back door was in the Command Navigation Program that the Colonial warships used to coordinate with each other.  As Pegasus was undergoing an overhaul during the attack, many systems were offline, the CNP being one of them.  However, the jump drive and engines were being tested, and thus were online, powered, and detached from the CNP.
