== Part 1 – We Found Them! ==
"Madame President."
"Admiral Adama," Helena Caine, newly elected President of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, greeted back to the younger man. "You said you had news that couldn't even be entrusted to an encrypted phone call?"
"Yes, Ma'am," Admiral Lee Adama replied. He paused, took a breath to steel himself, and then said, "We know where the Cylons went."
Caine blinked in surprise. The disappearance of the Cylons was one of the great mysteries of the modern day. After the armistice sixty years ago, they had cut off all contact with humanity. About twenty years ago, they had even stopped responding to the occasional probing mission the Colonies would send over the border. When Helena's predecessor had sent full up battlestars over the border to force contact with the Cylons, they had found... nothing. Since then, the Colonies have been sending out deep space exploration missions to figure out where the Cylons had gone to, and except for a few obviously long abandoned facilities and the rediscovery of the planet Kobol, hadn't turned up anything.
"One of the archaeological expeditions on Kobol found the Tomb of Athena," Adama continued. "Inside, they also found signs that the Cylons had been there, as well as the Arrow of Apollo."
"The Arrow of Apollo?" Caine repeated slowly. "That sounds familiar."
"It should," Adama replied. "Thirty years ago, the Arrow of Apollo along with numerous other artifacts were stolen from the Delphi Museum here on Caprica in a brazen midnight heist with an FTL capable shuttle used as the getaway vehicle. The perpetrators were never caught and the heist remained one of the great unsolved mysteries of our time... until now."
"Are you saying the Cylons raided Caprica and no one knew it?" Caine said incredulously, feeling gut punched. She had risen up in the military before going into politics. For most of her life, protecting the Colonies from the Cylons had been her job!
"That would seem to be the case," Adama confirmed.
"Why?"
"It seems clear now that the Cylons wanted the Arrow of Apollo." At Caine's blank look, Adama continued. "According to the Sacred Scrolls, if you bring the Arrow of Apollo to the Tomb of Athena, it will show the way to Earth, the Thirtheenth Colony."
"You think the Cylons went to the Thirteenth Colony," Caine said slowly.
"Yes we do," Adama confirmed. "And ma'am? The Cylons left the lights on. So we know where Earth is now too. Should we start planning an expedition to go there?"
