"Why can't you teleport me to another ship of yours or something? We could try to catch up to the Galactica and tell them."
"We'd never catch the Galactic now. Think how long you've been here. Besides, after the legacy of distrust that Ibley has left your people, can you really see Adama accepting me and raising my son with all the secrets of Galactica's operations?"
"I guess not," said Starbuck.
"Then will you come with me? My people left me another ship which is well concealed on this planet. I didn't want it to bias the outcome of the way I tested you."
"I am grateful, and I want to go with you," said Starbuck, "But please, I have to ask one thing: no more testing. A companion needs to trust and share things."
"From now on, I will," said Angela.
She put her arms around Starbuck and he found himself teleported in her arms to her hidden ship. They flew to her concealed planet, and there Starbuck saw beautiful silvery trees growing around every other sign of paradise that any one man's eyes could behold.
"What do you think, Starbuck?"
"When I thought you were gone for good, I'd have given anything to have lived like Adam and Eve on that dessert filled planet where we met," said Starbuck, "But this is …. I think I really could leave Galactica in your son's future hands and be happy here. It's the only thing I can do anyway, and it really is what I'd like to do."
Deep in space, the hybrid spaceship reached the Galactica and caught the attention of Boomer and Adama. The infant was retrieved and raised aboard the Galactica. Known only as Zee, the first word the boy ever spoke, he became a companion of Boxy and another Galactican boy named Dillon. Casseopia eventually stopped grieving the loss of Starbuck, and married Flight Sergeant Greenbean, after an injury prevented him from further service aboard Colonial Vipers. They lived a quiet reclusive life, grew old together, and disappeared into obscurity.
In 1980, Galactica discovered earth at a time when Dr Zee had reached full maturity and begun to invent the most advanced technology ever seen. It was exponentially far ahead of anything that the Cylons had come up with. As Dillon and Troy began to set up a colony of Galactican children on earth, Dr Zee completed work on a prototype of his supership, a single spaceship capable of decisively destroying an entire Cylon base star and all its ships.
"I'd like to go down to our ranch and look at the crops in person," said Adama, "There's a whole bonanza of opportunities for me on earth, but Dr Zee will need my help to supervise the construction of many more superships. Zee says that they can traverse the distance back to our lost colonies in a fraction of the time it took us to travel from there to earth. With Troy and Dillon's help, we will scout up materials on earth when required, and build the new ships. Then our best warriors will be trained to use them. First we'll take out the Cylons who have been close by ever since we discovered earth. After that, they will back track at high speed to our colonies and reclaim them. The Cylons have left us with no choice but to do what they have continually tried to do to us: wipe them out, "If we leave one Cylon intact, their race of machines will be rebuilt and many more human lives destroyed for no reason other than their being different."
"We learned of a man who thought that way, back when we were time travelling back in pursuit of Xaviar in the 1940s of earth's history," said Troy, "He was called Hitler."
