So I want to make something clear, I am currently in my next semester of College, so don't expect an update anytime soon. Also the next chapter won't be up until November.
Arcturus Stream
Arcturus
Arcturus Station
On Arcturus Station the Alliance Admiralty board was in an uproar over what had happened at Shanxi and was preparing all Alliance personal for what maybe the first war since they began exploration in 2149.
Shepard arrived at the station and reported to the Admiralty on what had happened "That's pretty much how it went." said Shepard finishing his detailed report on Shanxi.
"Do you believe the Colonials told the Cylons where Shanxi was?" asked one of the Admirals
Shepard shook his head. "I don't believe they did sir; I think the Cylons got lucky."
"According to your report Captain, the Colonials didn't take kindly to Lieutenant Hackett's claim about Earth not being a colony and how our scientists believe the Protheans had something to do with all of this." said another Admiral
Shepard hesitated to answer. "They had some disagreements, but I don't think they would jeopardize their one chance at saving their people."
"You might be right, but according to you, there are still six unidentified human form Cylons that have not been accounted for." said the Admiral. "One of these Cylons hiding in the fleet could have revealed that location."
"Possibly!" said Shepard
"More like absolutely Captain, don't mix words up." said the Admiral not happy about the situation.
"Sir right now is not the time for a witch hunt." said Shepard sternly at the Admiral's, who were taken aback by Shepard's disregard for rank. "We need to deal with the Cylons."
The Admirals present disregard Shepard's disrespect of authority and continued on. "We are spread thin and only have two fleets Captain." said the Admiral "We have begun requesting materials and ships all over, but it will take time."
"In that time Admiral, I think we're going to need some help." said Shepard
The Admirals looked at each other and back Shepard. "Who?"
"The Colonials sirs." stated Shepard
"The Colonials got us in this predicament in the first place." replied the Admiral, not wanting to deal with these people.
"And there the best ones to get us out of it." countered Shepard. "They know more about this enemy then we do."
"Even if we wanted to, we don't know where they are." said the Admiral
"Actually I have a pretty good guess where they might be." said Shepard
Galactica
Conference
After the Galactica jumped from Shanxi back to the fleet, Adama ordered the fleet to jump to the backup coordinates he made before leaving to Shanxi in case of an emergency, when the fleet did, they made sure the area was secure before President Roslin and the Quorum of twelve arrived to discuss what had happened.
"That's pretty much it." said Adama finishing explaining the events that led the fleet to jump away.
The room became silent and despair began creeping in. "It's all over than, there's no hope." said the Virgon representative
"No there is still hope." said Adama "Just before we left, Captain Shepard gave Captain Adama a set of coordinates for us."
"Coordinates?" asked Roslin "To where?"
"I sent a raptor to the location and its empty space, no star system." said Adama
"You're sure?" asked the Picon representative
"We believe it's a rendezvous for Captain Shepard to get in contact with us." said Adama
"Or it could be there leading us into a trap for the Cylons to finish us off or they might be the ones to do it themselves." said Zarek all eyes were now on him. "We led the Cylons to them and now they have occupied their world, I wouldn't be surprised if they traded our lives for their world."
Many of the Quorum members began thinking about what Zarek had said, but Roslin wasn't going to have Tom Zarek cloud their minds with fear. "People listen to me." she said with a calm and collected voice. "We may have our disagreements with these people, but I for one don't think they would betray us." said Roslin
"How can you be sure?" asked the Leonis representative
"They could have left us out there to die, but wanted to negotiate instead." said Adama as he backs the President up.
Zarek wanted to protest, but an officer came into the room and reported the Raptors return.
Rendezvous point
The place where Shepard had sent the Colonials was off the Mass Relay routes and in between star systems, so as to prevent the Cylons from locating another colony.
Colonial Raptor
In the raptor were Racetrack and Skulls waiting for any kind of signal or appearance from the Alliance, but while the Admiral took a gamble and sent people there, he wasn't all too trusting considering the situation they were in. Racetrack had the raptor spooled up ready in case they had to leave.
"How long do you think it's going to take?" asked Skulls monitoring the dradis
"Don't know, but I'm hoping we have some contact soon." Replied Racetrack, as being one of the first colonials to make contact with the people of Earth, she had her hopes high when it came to salvation for the fleet.
After a while the dradis picked up a ship on the screen.
Arcturus
Station
Captain Shepard was looking out the window along with Hackett waiting for the Colonials to arrive. Hackett turned to Shepard. "Captain are you sure this was a good idea?"
"Cylons are busy with Shanxi, so I doubt they have the ships to attack this station." said Shepard
Hackett wanted to protest on that theory, but a flash of light caught his attention and out the window he sees the Galactica.
"About time they got here." said Shepard walking away to greet their guests.
Arcturus
Station
Conference Room
Adama was impressed with the station and while the Colonials had their own space stations it was interesting to see how Earth built theirs. Adama along with Lee and Colonel Tigh flew on a Raptor to the station and was about to meet with a Systems Alliance Admiral and Captain Shepard.
As they were seated at a table, Captain Shepard and another man walked in dressed in uniform "Admiral Adama, Captain Adama, and Colonel Tigh allow me to introduce Admiral Jon Grissom."
Adama stood up and held out his hand. "It's an honor to meet you."
Grissom took Adama's hand. "The honor is mine Admiral, Shepard has told me about your predicament and I must say with the odds not in your favor, you managed to pull through." said Grissom. "That shows character and incredible leadership experience."
While Adama was flattered to hear that, he had to admit it wasn't all his doing. "I only got this far because of the men and women serving under me sir, as well as the President of the twelve colonies helping with the civilian fleet."
Grissom nodded his head. "Understandable Admiral, but let's continue." Grissom and Shepard sat down on the opposite side of Adama and his party "The situation on Shanxi is deteriorating gentlemen."
"Have you received any Intel?" asked Adama
"We had a ship dropped into the system to get a message from General Williams." said Shepard "He reports the Cylons have complete orbital dominance for a protracted siege."
"That's as much as we could get before the Cylons jumped in to attack one of our ships." said Grissom
"Frak! Centurions are probably crawling around all over the place." said Tigh "Not to mention Raiders are dominating the skies."
"How long can General Williams hold out?" asked Lee
"He began bolstering the colonies defenses when you told us about the Cylons." said Shepard "But our marines never fought machines before."
"You people are the best experts when it comes to fighting these things." said Grissom "I understand you have two war ships at your disposal?"
"We do" said Adama not liking where this is going.
"We are going to need your help in retaking back Shanxi." said Grissom
Adama was reluctant to commit the only two Battlestars he had to retake back a colony. "You have to understand that I can't just leave the civilian fleet undefended."
"We understand that, but the fact remains you all brought the Cylons to our space." said Grissom with a stern voice.
"We admit that, but unless you can offer protection for the Civilian fleet, I cannot leave them defenseless." said Adama not budging an inch.
Lee seeing the tension between the two Admirals stepped in. "Admiral Grissom if the civilian fleet could jump to these coordinates and take shelter by Arcturus station then maybe we could offer our assistance in helping you retake back Shanxi."
"I'm afraid we can't do that." said Grissom, not wanting Arcturus to be compromised.
"Why?" asked Lee, upset at Grissom's refusal.
"According to the information you provided to Shepard there are still six unidentified human form Cylons unaccounted for." said Grissom "They could be anyone in your fleet, we can't risk the Cylons finding Arcturus station."
"By that logic you risked bringing us here." said Adama "We could be Cylons, you could be Cylons anyone could be a Cylon, we just don't know who could be the remaining six human form Cylons."
"Don't suppose you have dead human Cylons our scientists could study?" asked Grissom
"What for?" asked Tigh
"We need to find a way to detect human form Cylons." said Grissom
"We tried that, it didn't work." said Tigh remembering Baltar's attempt at building a Cylon detector and failed when Boomer attack Adama.
"No offense, but our technology is more advance then yours." said Grissom "We could have our own detector if we had some samples to test with."
Adama thought about it and from seeing this station their technology is advance. "I can do you one better." said Adama both Lee and Tigh stare at Adama understanding what he meant.
Shepard and Grissom stare at the group unsure of what their talking about.
Arcturus
Station
Interrogation Room
The Cylon model Sharon Valerii that helped Starbuck and Helo getting off Galactica was brought on board the station completely handcuffed and chained together not wanting to take any chances of her attempting suicide, she was placed in a room with guards and an Alliance intelligence officer was interrogating her.
"I understand you go by the name Sharon Valerii." said the Interrogator
Sharon just stares at the man with contempt in her eyes after what had happened with her daughter, but played along with the interrogator. "Who are you people?" asked Sharon in a stoic emotionless expression, but before the interrogator can speak, she had already came up possible theories. "You're not Colonial's so the only other logic would be you're the 13th tribe."
"I'm afraid not." said the interrogator, Sharon had a confused look on her face. "We can get back to that as soon as were finished here."
"What do you want from me?" asked Sharon still unfazed by the whole conversation.
"Information about the Cylons and to allow our scientists to study you." said the interrogator
Sharon looked over to her right and left sides, both have Alliance Marines pointing guns at her, she looks back at the Interrogator. "It doesn't look like I have a choice." said Sharon with a glare at the interrogator.
"Shall we begin?" asked the Interrogator with a grin on his face.
Arcturus
Station
Conference Room
5 hours later
The Interrogator reported his findings to Admiral Grissom, Admiral Adama, Lee, Shepard, and Colonel Tigh.
"Each Cylon Basestar has 434 or more Raiders they can launch. Basestar are moderately armed, and relies on unconventional means for military strength. Generally, a Basestar is armed with 220 missile launchers located on the central spire, and on the arms of the vessel, which are capable of carrying nuclear or conventional tipped ship to ship, or long-range ballistic (with Multiple Independently Targetable Reentry Vehicle payloads) missiles to their targets. Ballistic missiles are able to strike planetary targets from high orbit. Ship to ship missiles are easily defended against by Colonial electronic countermeasures, which lends the Cylons to rely more on the Basestar's Raider compliment for both offensive and defensive purposes."
"So we need to deal with the Raiders while the Basestars can be easily taken care of by our dreadnoughts." said Grissom
"Sir 434 or more Raiders can be launched from a Basestar." said Shepard "The last time I checked the Cylons still have 14 ships, maybe more and 14 times 434 equals to 6076 Raiders to deal with."
Grissom grunts at the thought of those numbers and while the Alliance has three one-kilometer-long carriers for fighter interceptors, they don't come close to those numbers. "What can you tell me about the Raiders?"
"The strangest thing is we thought the Cylons ships are made of only mechanical parts like our ships, but their bio-mechanical." said the Interrogator, Grissom and Shepard looked at each other and back at the Colonials who nodded their heads in acknowledging the statement. "Apparently incorporating a number of large organs in its design, including a central brain. Raiders require an oxygen-nitrogen mix for their biological functions, and thus oxygen tanks are located somewhere onboard. In effect, a modern Raider is a creature in itself."
"I thought the machines looking human was strange enough, but now you're telling me they've created some kind of mixture of machine and flesh abomination." said Grissom clearly disgusted by what he heard.
"It gets worse." said the interrogator Grissom just shook his head thinking how worse could it get "The Raiders are equipped with FTL capabilities and are armed with conventional and nuclear missiles carried in internal wing bays and two pairs of kinetic energy weapons of different calibers mounted under the leading edge of the wings."
"So not only are they bio-mechanical, but are FTL capable and can launch nukes of their own." said Grissom. "Kinetic Barriers will protect us from the explosion, but the heat and radiation is another story."
"We could try to add extra plating on the ships." suggested Shepard
Grissom shakes his head. "That could take months."
"We may have months considering how long it will take to get a fleet ready and train your pilots on Cylon Raider tactics." said Adama
Grissom thought about it. "Will think of something after the debriefing." said Grissom looking at the interrogator. "Continue."
"There is one little fact about Cylon ships." said the interrogator looking at the information he got from the eight. "The most unique aspect of a modern Baseship is its organic nature. Composed of organic resin, and a large flesh-like interior, the Baseship could be considered an individual organism in itself, and just like any other "injured" organism, the Basestar is able to heal its wounds (battle damage) over time."
Grissom put his hands to his face. "These things are getting more annoying, move on." said Grissom
"Their Centurions are equipped with long, talon-like fingers that act as bladed weapons during close-combat, and fold back to reveal a three-barreled automatic projectile weapon which are used in fire-fights.." said the Interrogator still reading of the information from the eight model. "In addition to these built-in weapons, Centurions are capable of carrying larger, more powerful weapons not integrated into their systems, such as mortars and missile launchers."
"Anything else we need to know about these things?" asked Grissom "Are they bio-mechanical too?"
"No they are completely robotic, but the strangest thing." said the Interrogator "The human form Cylons have placed an implant that annuls their higher cognitive functions and prevents them from exercising full self-awareness. It also appears that this implant precludes them from harming any of the humanoid Cylons, except by explicit order. According to the Cylon Sharon, this was done to prevent a rebellion akin to the one that started the first Cylon War."
"Were they deliberately programmed that way?" asked Adama
The interrogator nodded his head. "The Cylons didn't want them becoming self-aware and suddenly resisting orders. They didn't want their own robotic rebellion on their hands."
Adama chuckles. "You can appreciate the irony in that." said Adama
"That doesn't make sense." said Grissom. "Why would the human Cylons fear the robotic centurions rebelling aren't they all machines?"
Everyone in the room thought about it for a minute and while it was odd, it wasn't a confusing one. "Maybe the Centurions don't like being bossed around." said Shepard
"Excuse me for interrupting this conversation about the enslavement on the Centurions." Said Tigh not caring one bit about that. "Were supposed to trust this Cylon with all this information she willingly gave us?"
"We don't have much of a choice on the matter, considering we are severely at a disadvantage in this situation." Said Shepard
While it didn't matter why, to Grissom it could be useful Intel. "It doesn't matter right now, is there anything else we need to know?" asked Grissom
"Apparently this Cylon model was pregnant with one of the officers on Galactica." said the interrogator. "And claims that the Colonials killed her baby."
Shepard and Grissom looked at the Colonial delegates with suspicions. "You knew about this?" asked Grissom
Adama, Lee, and Tigh looked at each other each not knowing what to say. "We didn't think that was relevant." said Adama. "And we didn't kill her child, one of our doctors claim the child died due to complications."
"This changes things now." Said Grissom. "This Cylon could be feeding us false information, seeing as how she has nothing left to lose."
"My point exactly." Replied Tigh
"How is it possible for her to be pregnant?" asked Shepard redirecting back at the interrogator.
"I can answer that." said a man in a scientist uniform, this scientist was responsible for examining the Cylon Sharon.
"Doctor I understand you finished your tests, maybe you can enlighten us on what were dealing with." asked Grissom
"Certainly Admiral and I must say this is incredible, if you hadn't told me she was these human Cylons, I would have thought she was a regular person." said the Doctor. "I have run every kind of test we can do except for a dissection and this is incredible." He walks over to a screen and activates it showing Sharon's face and an image of a skeleton along with images of a female silhouette body.
"Human Cylons are stronger and more resilient than regular humans are." said the Doctor "I bet a month's pay that human Cylon we have in the interrogation room is stronger than a man twice her size."
"So there strong." said Shepard "Anything else we should know?"
"They have a stronger immune system then humans do, they're bodies are designed to destroy or resist commonly dangerous human diseases, they are heavily fortified to resist damage from intense radiation fields that would kill a human after short exposure." said the Doctor
"All of this is interesting doctor." said Shepard. "You've pretty much told us they're built to be superior to us humans, but how can a machine become pregnant?"
"She has all the same kind of biological mechanics as a regular human female does." said the Doctor. "Now whether or not they need humans to procreate is possibly true, considering from what she has explained is that there are 12 human models, I don't know how many males to female, but such a small group wouldn't have enough genetic diversity if there all the same copies."
"What about her body?" asked Grissom "Besides what you've already told us is there any wires or computer chips in there?"
"Humanoid Cylons can interface with a computer system or computer network by photo-electrical means, to interface directly with a ship's system the Cylon must insert a cable into his or her own arm, which is painful. The process is preferably carried out by touching a data-font of Cylon make" said the Doctor "This might be possible through the use of bio-luminescent and photosensitive cells in their hands, once interfaced, they can rewrite code to purge or create a computer virus, send transmissions to other computer systems, or calculate FTL jump coordinates."
"While all this information about Cylons is interesting." said Tigh getting annoyed by all this talk about Cylons. "Have you found a frakking way to distinguish Cylon skin jobs from humans?"
"I was getting to that." said the Doctor "I was just explaining on all this fascinating discoveries we've found."
"Still Doctor the one thing we need right now is to tell whose human and who's not." said Grissom. "So have you found a way to differentiate between us and them?"
The Doctor goes back to the screen and changes images. "Humanoid Cylons are not merely robots with a human appearance, they possess actual flesh and blood, they are visually indistinguishable from humans down to the cellular level, but not completely at a molecular level." said the Doctor bringing up an image of molecules. "These are synthetic polymers in Cylons."
"So we test everyone's blood in the fleet?" said Tigh sounding condescending "Baltar tried that and it failed."
"Not to mention it would have taken decades to finish testing everyone in the fleet." said Lee
"How many refuges do you have?" asked Shepard
"it's not exact, but close to 50,000!" said Adama "The last of our people."
Grissom shakes his head. "We can't take that long in testing people." Grissom looks at the Doctor "Is there another way?"
Doctor nodded his head. "Surprisingly yes." he changes the image to two human looking brains "I did an MRI on Ms Valerri and found some differencs, I questioned her about it and she explained to me that Cylon brains apparently are based off the Centurions silica pathways, which apparently was a technology in the construction of mechanical Cylon brains."
"How does this help us?" asked Grissom "They look identical."
The Doctor nodded his head. "Very true, even attempting an autopsy on Ms. Valerii's brain would probably not reveal her true nature and given normal scanning would show the same thing, but thankfully most of our technology isn't our technology."
"Your referring to the Protheans?" asked Shepard
Doctor nodded his head. "It's incredible it's almost like their technology was designed to detect this kind of stuff, it's almost like they themselves might have had their own problem with machines."
"Given our theory that the Prothean may had something to do with another branch of humanity existing elsewhere in the galaxy could explain all this." said Grissom "Does this mean you have another way of detecting Cylons?"
"Yes, we should be able to calibrate our sensors to home in on signals like this." said the Doctor
"Wait wouldn't the Cylons have considered this detection and created a counter measure?" asked Lee
"I don't think so." said the Doctor. "The Cylons did a good job and it would be hard to distinguish between human brains and Cylon brains, but the Cylons were dealing with your level of technology, no offense."
"None taken." said Adama "So all this alien stuff your Lieutenant was telling us back on Galactica was all true?" asked Adama looking at Shepard
Shepard nodded his head "Yeah."
"Frak me." said Tigh, thinking how much more can this universe surprise him.
"So we can detect the Cylons now?" asked Grissom
"Yes, so I think the best way is to bring one ship at a time here, have couple of our ships scan each one with the recalibration of our sensor and we should be able to detect the signals, but just in case we should still check each blood work as an extra precaution." said the Doctor
Grissom nodded his head. "Alright we should get Alliance marines ready to..." Grissom was cut off by Adama
"Colonial marines will handle any Cylons that show up." said Adama staring down Grissom "This is our mess and will handle it."
"Not to mention I think our people will be comfortable with our marines walking on their ships instead of strangers in different uniforms." remarked Lee
Grissom looked at both men and conceded. "Fine, but I want them taken into custody and brought on this station for our people to interrogate, understood."
Adama and Lee nodded their heads. "Alright then let's begin."
All the men in the conference room got up and left to make preparations to find the remaingin six Cylons that might still be in the fleet.
Shanxi
Garrison
When the Cylons took orbital dominance they immediately targeted infrastructure and power lines cutting off the Colonies power, making it harder for the colonists to survive and move around colony. The Cylons then sent a force of Centurions and Raiders to attack the Colonies Defense Forces, pushing the humans back.
Williams was currently strategizing his next move against the Cylons, he was getting reports that the mechanical machines known as Centurions was capturing civilians transporting them on their shuttles.
"Lieutenant Ahern." said Williams
Ahern appeared and saluted the General "Sir!"
"We may have discovered a forward operating base the Cylons use to bring down supplies, along with these images." said Williams showing images of Centurions and humans together. "These are the humanoid Cylons we were warned about by the Colonials."
"What are they doing?" asked Ahern
"We believe they're trying to gather intelligence on us, by capturing our civilians." said Williams
"Trying to find the location to our other Colonies?" asked Ahern "Maybe even Earth."
"Correct, we cannot allow them to find it." said Williams "Take your men scout out the area, recon only, then report back."
Ahern nodded his head and ran off to prepare, Williams then makes contact to the front lines "Major Raynord report?"
After a couple of seconds and static over the radio "Sir! This Corporal Oleg Petrovsky, Raynord is dead, I've taken control of my unit."
"How's the front lines Corporal?" asked Williams
"Hell sir!" said Petrovsky "Cylons continue to attack in force, we have Raiders coming in blowing up strong holds and forcing us back."
"Hold that line Corporal, we cannot afford to lose the Garrison." said Williams, he closes the line and sink his hands into his face, the stress building up inside him.
"Sounds like the Cylons are kicking your soldier's asses." said a mysterious figure.
"You going to gloat about it or are you going to help us out?" asked Williams looking at the man.
"You know our payment." said the man "Throw in a bottle of that brandy you hide behind your desk too."
William looks at the man and glares. "While I prefer not to hire mercenaries these Cylons are killing my men by the dozens."
"Don't worry about these Cylons, will deal with them." said the man
"Don't get cocky, the Colonials underestimated these things and got all twelve of their planets destroyed." said Williams as the mysterious man walks out, Williams says one more thing "Jack don't go getting yourself killed."
Jack looks back before leaving. "Don't worry about me, worry about the Cylons when I kick them off of Shanxi."
Jack walks out to meet with his other mercenary comrades "Ben, Eva, let's go."
"How did it go with the General, Harper?" asked Ben
"Good, but we've got work to do." said Jack Harper. "Let's go show these Cylons how humans from Earth fight, Eva what do you got for me?"
"Locations of Cylon Centurions and human form Cylons scouring the city." said Eva
"Let's go hunting." said Jack lifting up a pistol.
Shanxi
Orbit
Cylon Basestar
Conference Room
Five human Cylons appeared to discuss their recent discovery of a new branch of humanity and what to do with them. "Are these humans the 13th tribe or not?" asked a number five
"Unknown, but we have captured a number of them and they claim their home world is called Earth, but they know nothing of the twelve colonies or Kobol." said a three
"Is this Earth?" asked a four
"No, this is one of Earths colonies called Shanxi." said a three
"Earth has colonies?" asked a one in disgust. "Great like we need any more humans in the universe."
As the Cylons continued talking two Cylons who are considered heroes throughout Cylon society stepped into the room. "Why are we attacking these humans, I thought we agree not to pursue the fleet anymore?" said an eight, who was once a member on board the Galactica, call sign Boomer
"We agreed on the decision, but this was unexpected." said a three with a scowl, never liking either of these two models specifically the hero's. "We never imagine finding the 13th tribe."
"And your first act in making contact was to attack and occupy one of their colonies?" said Caprica six
"We were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of unidentified ships." said a two trying to justify their actions.
"They tried to make contact, but you ignored it." accused Boomer in anger at the five Cylons before her.
"We didn't ignore it, we tried to disable their ships, but it didn't work." said a four countering Boomer claims and attempting to vindicate themselves of any wrong doing.
"Either there not networked or they have adequate firewalls that prevent our hacking and virus attacks." said a three with concern in her voice. "They also seem to posse's advance technology from our first engagement with their ships."
"This is disturbing." said a five concern by this sudden revelation. "We must find Earth and deal with these humans."
"You want to go to war with humans who had nothing to do with the twelve colonies past mistakes?" asked Caprica six
"There humans." said a One with disgust in his voice. "That's there mistake."
"Unfortunately the people down below don't know the location of Earth." said a five "They're not knowledgeable in stellar navigation like us or the Colonials."
"We do however know something of interest." said a three with a smile on her face. "Everyone stick your hand on the data ports."
All the Cylons present placed their hands on the ports and access the data stream, each Cylon closed their eyes and saw the most alien thing they ever seen. A large machine in space that was so massive, it was bigger than their Colony ship.
"What is it?" asked a One, with wide eyes, almost shocked to see such a massive construct in space.
"This is called a Mass Relay, apparently the 13th tribe uses this to travel the galaxy at instantaneous speeds."
"Why do they need such a device?" asked a four curious.
"Their current FTL capabilities are limited, even more so than the Colonials." said the three
"Did they build this?" asked Boomer shocked by its massive size and capabilities
"No!" said the three "This part is most intriguing, these devices were built by actual aliens, they called the Protheans."
"Actual Aliens?" asked the One in disbelief. "Your frakking kidding me."
"No, I am not." said the three with excitement in her voice. "Clearly God has plans for us, I believe this is a test from him."
While half of the Cylons believed in God and the other half pretended too in order to sway consensus with other models, the revelation that aliens existed fractured their belief that they and the humans were the only living things in the galaxy.
"This revelation means nothing." said the One while sneering at the idea of aliens. "We should focus on the here and now and while, I have my doubts on your Gods plan, we have to study this device and prepare, because if these humans are anything like the Colonials their drive is based on emotion not logic and will come for their colony."
"We should place ships at this Mass Relay, it gives us an advantage if they have to come here using this device." said a five "We can catch them off guard."
"Agreed." said all but two of the Cylons who protested on peaceful coexistence with humanity, but their words fell on deaf ears.
Hey so the Alliance and the Colonials are working together to deal with the Cylon threat. Now I know some of you are thinking Sharon wouldn't divulge any information when she thinks the Colonials killed her baby, but they don't have much of a choice in the matter, now I'm not saying their going to trust her completely. On the subject of using prothean technology to find the remaining six Cylons, I figured since the Protheans had their own problem with machine intelligence, before the Reapers arrival called the Metacon War and after the Reapers arrival, they would have developed technology to detect Machines. This way the Alliance doesn't have to worry about infiltrations by the human form Cylons.
