-Chapter 10-

The room was dark as John simply sat there watching the Hybrid laying in its tub of goo speaking its gibberish he marveled at the design but was afraid of it at the same time. When the Cylons began their experiments with human machine evolution they created the Hybrids but in their creation they opened a door to a madness that no one was prepared for. Every once in a while he would hear them say something that would almost sound coherent but then they would return to their mindless gestures as if oblivious to the universe and its surroundings.

John had watched as the Leoban's seemed to take great interest in them sitting with them they would try and hold conversations with them to no avail. Yet John would notice even though he didn't understand what the conversation would be about Leoban seemed to take something from it. The Leoban were the creators of the one god concept in the Legion, but of course they say their inspiration spawned from the Hybrids as if they were the door to their God.

Laughing to himself over the thought he gets up and walks closer to the Hybrid whispering into her ear "Tell me your secrets…" sitting there for a second it doesn't respond as it only conducts its routine diagnostic with the ship. Returning to his seat he started to dwell his thoughts on his design that he pieced together using a Hybrid and Centurion body their brains were a combination of both machine and human tissue which concerned him if he transferred his code into it what might happen. Realizing his pure design was bent on revenge he wasn't sure if he was ready to lose that feeling and want, also his desire to show his mother that she was wrong and being there when he proved it to her brought him to a moment of pause.

In the middle of the thought he hears something the Hybrid says "…The one will bring the end to the snake and with it will bring the pillars of creation to ashes…"

Turning his head to the attention of the Hybrid "What did you say?" Staring off into oblivion she continued her random thoughts. Sitting there he hoped to hear a repeat of the statement but it never comes. Finally he decides it was time to leave but he would have to inquire more about this he thinks maybe the Leoban's would be able to expand on the statement walking out of the room he grimaces as he clasp his hands behind his back exiting the room.

Kona sat there patiently as she listened to Purevenom go over his plan, to her it was a grand opportunity. Finally hearing the pause she decides this would be a good time for questions "Excuse me Purevenom?"

Stopping in mid stride he turns to his promising pupil "Yes?"

"I don't understand you want me to train this select few?"

Tilting his head he simply nods "Yes, you have shown great promise and I believe you would be a better asset as an instructor versus an actual agent."

Giving him a little smile "I don't mind training some recruits but I believe I would be better served actually in the field."

"I also agree but for now I don't want to use you. I promise you will get your field time I want the other agents to scope out my targets and when we are near to striking it will be the sixes who will go in and get the job done."

"I see…" feeling a little more relieved "…my apologies please continue."

"As I was saying…" he continues on with the plan. What seemed like hours goes by as he turns to her in his final statement sitting in his chair he looks at his star pupil "…Can you do it?"

"Of course Purevenom" looking over the strategy she begins pointing to certain locations. "I would like to choose the models for the target locations I feel that I have a good understanding on how the Colonials think and believe I know who would be better in completing their task."

Smiling under his mask he enjoyed Kona's company unlike any other models other than his machine counterpart she was the only straight shooter he had access too. "Very well… but keep the use of the sixes to a minimum, they are my secret weapon in my final plan."

"By your command." Getting up she begins to head to the door "will there be anything else you require of me."

Purevenom simply stared at her secretly wanting to share his identity with her, but wasn't sure how she would react to John's lie he decided to keep it to himself. "No… that will be all. We will meet tomorrow so you can show me your selections."

Giving her little smile "I won't be late." With a hop she heads out the door.

Purevenom follows her out watching her as she walked down the hallway he stops at D'Anna desk turning to her he says with a sigh "Interesting girl is she not?"

"She is a formidable model I underestimated her in the fight I promise my Liege it won't happen again."

With a little chuckle "No my dear I'm sure you won't. Contact John for me and have him report to me at the Sanctuary tomorrow night I have something I wish to discuss with him."

"It shall be done."

Returning to his office he steps up to the window he stares at his fleet that is formed outside and smiles "When the colonies fall so shall you little man" sitting back down much work needed to be done but confident that it was under control he sat as he enjoyed the moment.

Entering the room John felt uncomfortable realizing that he knew the Leoban's were strange he wasn't aware how strange they really were. Looking around his room he had came to this Leoban because he was told that he was the most influenced by the Hybrids and that he was the creator of the one God concept. Standing looking at particular painting his hands clasped behind his back he leaned in to take a better look.

Leoban makes a coughing sound as he enters the room "Do you like it?"

"Curious were you got it?" as he turned to look at Leoban.

"Daniel drew it for me… before he was lost to us." Walking up to John he kept his eyes on the picture.

"Really, I didn't think any of you would remember that day?" Feeling a little uncomfortable Daniels destruction was before the reprogramming of all the models, before he overthrew Ellen and the rest of her entourage. "How did you come across the painting his death happened before we began to replicate all of the models?"

"Something drew me to it. I remember working on the Initium the ship of our creators and something drew me to the room which is where I found it on the wall. Since you had the ship destroyed I decided to keep it in remembrance of our fallen brother."

"How quaint…" wishing he had a centurion available he shook his head getting the thought out of his head. "Do you know why I'm here?"

"I would imagine because something the Hybrid said?" turning his attention to John he gestures for a seat.

"How did you know?" Baffled by the response he stared at him with disbelief as he sits down.

"Why else would you come to see me…" giving him a little smile "John you worked with the five before they were lost to us, so I don't doubt your knowledge is well above mine. So with that deduction… I can only assume my only other offering to the Legion is…" picking up a cup of tea he offers it too John "…is my understanding of what the Hybrid says."

"No…" setting the tea back on the table "Well that is a brilliant deduction…" shifting in the seat "So what do you see in the Hybrid that no one else can?"

"I see that they are the gateway to the unknown as if their minds have seen and spoken to God." Walking back to the painting "They are the vessels that prophecies our future."

Prophecies… John thinks to himself how that can be "You're telling me that they see the future?"

"Yes, I have been listening to what they say and granted their words can be easily misinterpreted they have all come true." Turning back to John puts his hands together "Even though I'm not sure what the last one means…"

"Tell me what it was?" John was eager to hear.

"The one will bring the end to the snake and with it will bring the pillars of creation to dust… or something in that matter." Seeing Johns eyes light up "So you heard it too?"

"Yes, but what does it mean?" John was astonished by the revelation but terrified at what it could mean.

"I'm not sure I will have to read the scriptures and see if I can find anything that could help us understand them."

Giving a quizzical look "…Scriptures?"

"Yes, even though the Colonies believe in the Gods once there was a small group called the STO that believed in the one God concept and wrote many scriptures that pertain to us now. Fortunately during the war a Geminon freighter was captured and its contents kept. I was assigned to Hybrid maintenance when one of them told me of the ship and I found the items it led me too that had many documents that pertained to the subject and I have been using them to help understand the Hybrids with it."

Confused John simply listened but realizing the time he needed to leave to meet his Imperiousness knowing that he would not be very forgiving if he missed the appointment. Getting out of his chair "I would like to continue this conversation later…" giving him the best smile he could "Can I come by later?"

"Of course I look forward to our meeting and I will see if I can find any more information on the topic."

John simply nodded his head and quickly made for the door. Thinking it would be nice to have a God on his side he smiled at the idea which turned quickly to a frown, he knew the Imperious Leader was up to something and he needed to find out what it was before he screwed up his own plan.
