The android who looked like a young Asian woman paused in her descent from the hills and watched the *Rom Doll* descend towards Seefra town. What had been a dusty one-horse town made from the remains of a crashed starship (the *Andromeda Ascendant* from yet another alternate universe? No one was sure) had grown into a small metropolis, sky cranes interspersed with gleaming new buildings. Forests had had begun to grow where there had been a desert. But the town was still centered around the Oasis Bar, now integrated into Dylan Hunt's headquarters. The woman's more-than-human-eyes followed the MagLev train line from the center of town through kilometers of fields to the pile of concrete and gantries that was the *Andromeda Ascendant's* planetary dry-dock, empty and waiting for the massive cruiser's return.
Andromeda Ascendant, the Cylon intelligence from whom had been developed Doyle, the Promised One. The android contained her excitement. She had a mission to complete …a mission that would change the fate of the universe.
She resumed her trek down the hillside.
