A/N: Kenn Davis- I just watched the last two seasons of BSG, and there wasn't any mention that Starbuck's status as a Cylon was definite. True they thought that she could be a Cylon since she did come back from the dead, but there was no on-screen proof that she really was a Cylon. The last of the Cylons was revealed to be Colonel Tigh's wife. Plus this story is before that whole Starbuck dying and coming back from the dead storyline, so this Starbuck is completely human.

New Kobol, President Roslin's Quarters, 0700 hours.

Roslin slowly opened her eyes before covering them away from the filtered sunlight that was coming in through the crystalline window. Sitting up slowly on her bed, she looked around and tried to recall where she was, that it wasn't her cabin on Colonial One. Shaking her head, she then stood up and put on her coat as she walked over to the window and saw seven more towers in the process of being grown in the distance.

'New Kobol' thought the President to herself, 'I'm on New Kobol.'

She could see the Earth Camp from her room, as well as part of the Stargate through the trees in the distance. Looking around, Roslin saw people in the camp running around before she heard a thunderous sound from above. Looking up, she smiled as Colonial One flew over her apartment. Making sure that she was decent, Roslin then walked out of her room as the doors slid open before heading for the Vice-President's room. The highest floor had six rooms which she was told by Starbuck, and Dr. Burke, the previous night would be mainly for the President, and her cabinet.

"Some of the upper rooms can be taken by members of your government" said Dr. Burke last night, "you'll have facilities to freshen up, cook, and sleep in each room. We intended to put medical sections in each tower, but given the impracticality… we'll be growing buildings around the area that would cater to your people's medical needs. Of course if you're in need of staff, then we can have some of our people work with your medical staff."

"Thank you" said Roslin the previous night as she nodded her head at the linguist.

"I was thinking that we could transfer the beds in Galactica's infirmary, as well as the beds and patients on the Rising Star to those buildings" said Vice-President Hunt who was walking next to Roslin and Commander Adama while they were heading towards one of the towers last night, "includes all our medications, supplies, and personnel."

"I'm sure Doctor Cottle will be drooling at the mouth to have space to work" said Apollo while the Commander smiled.

"I'm sure he will" he said as he nodded at his son.

Back in the present day, Roslin knocked softly on the Vice-President's door and stepped back as the door opened to reveal the man with a toothbrush hanging from his mouth; one of the basic necessities that the President found in a small bag on a table in her room.

"Madam President?" asked the Vice-President as he took out the toothbrush, "I take it you saw Colonial One?"

"Yes" she said, "I was going to go down and watch where it was going to land, plus get my other three sets of clothes before the Earthers President visits us."

"Which reminds me" said the Vice-President as he looked at his own shirt and trousers before looking at the President again, "the rest of my belongings are on the Galactica, I should ask Commander Adama to have Raptor send me back to the ship."

It was then that they heard a buzzing sound at the end of the curved hallway, followed by amazed voices as they were coming towards the two government officials.

"That was amazing" said Apollo excitedly as he, Starbuck, and Commander Adama… all in brown T-Shirts and trousers with their octagonal dog tags hanging in the open.

"Amazing technology" said the Commander before he said good morning to Roslin, and then to the Vice-President. They then talked about the ring transportation system that acted as elevators, instantly transporting matter from one floor to another.

"I asked about it" said Starbuck, "I was told that this technology isn't the Earthers, nor does it belong to the allies who built these towers. It belongs to a race long before them… they mentioned the name during the first meeting between our people…. Frak.. it was in the reports."

"The Alterra" said the Commander as the President raised her eyebrows in surprise, "apparent this ally studied those devises, and then programmed their crystal technology to rebuild version of these devices in these towers, and even in their own bases."

"I see" said Roslin nodding her head.

"Madam President" said the Commander, "Dr. Burke, and Colonel Finn told us that they were ready for ships to land at the points we specified."

"I saw some of the towers being constructed around one of those sites" said the President, "it will take a few more days to be complete?"

"Yes" said Apollo, "but in the meantime, we asked that Colonial one land before the others."

"We thought it be best that the symbol of the Presidency land before the other ships" said Commander Adama as Roslin smiled.

"I was asked by Dr. Burke to accompany some of our Marines, and their medical staff to run the Cylon detector over the personnel on board" said Apollo, "Billy's already talking with the translator and he'll be making sure that the Earth personnel don't go into your private office."

"I leave it to you then, Major" said the President, "inform me once everyone's been cleared, I need to get back to Colonial One and get some new clothes."

"Understood, ma'am" said Apollo before he turned to Starbuck and told her that they needed to go.

As they were leaving, the Commander remained behind to talk to the Vice-President and Roslin.

"Madam President" said the Commander, "Billy received the results of your aide, Tory Foster's blood test, he wanted to tell you himself.. but he also did not want to disturb you from rest you desperately needed."

"And?" asked Roslin, "Commander? What did the report say?"

"She has nanites in her bloodstream" said the Commander as the President, and Vice-President looked on surprised, "they had to run the test a few times, but her blood has about the same number of nanites as Sharon's."

"Gods" said the President shaking her head, "she was by my side thought the entire election, even before that. How….."

"She could be a sleeper agent" said the Vice-President, "just like the other Sharon Valerii."

"Boomer" said Commander Adama as the Vice-President nodded his head, "the one who shot me. He came to me with the news, and then I went to talk to Colonel Finn. He told me, through a translator, that he'll be sending someone through the Gate to the Stars to the Cylon's World to ask them if they have ever seen Tory before."

"And we can trust them?" asked the Vice-President, "I mean the Cylons?"

"Given that they have the Earthers protection to lose if they find out the skinjobs lied?" said the President, "then yes, I believe that they'll tell the truth. But, Tory can't stay here. And neither will anyone else found to be a Cylon."

"I agree" said the Commander.

"There is one more thing" said the Vice-President, "Madam President, Commander Adama, the Earthers are willing to give us shielding technology."

"Really?" asked the President before she and the Commander looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at the Vice-President again.

"And that's why Baltar is still here" he said, "the Earthers are giving shielding technology to the Cylons as well, for their protection."

"That's a mistake" said the President frowning as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"It'll be under the Earthers supervision" said the Vice-President as he looked at Roslin, "I wanted to give you a heads-up, Madam President. I think they'll be talking about this today."

Roslin nodded her head as Commander Adama then talked.

"Having Baltar be moved to the Cylon world; working on those shields with them would be dangerous" said the Commander, "in that case, I believe it would be better to have him here where we can supervise him,… keep an ever watchful eye on what he's doing."

"I agree with something Baltar said though, he's the smartest person we have in the fleet" said the Vice-President, "I don't like it, but it's true. The Earthers said that they'll be training our engineers on how to work, and maintain the shields but they'd like a team sent to the Galactica, and then later the other ships, to ensure the systems could handle the power required to maintain the shield."

"Commander?" asked the President as she looked at the old man who was deep in thought.

"If they ask" he said, "I want a security detail at all times on them."

"I think they understand that" said the vice-president as he looked at Commander Adama, "I told them that you'd be the best person to ask, Commander."

"What do they want in return?" asked President Roslin.

"Our expertise in space exploration" said the Vice-President, "help with building facilities, schematics of ships like our cargo ships, and I'm sure there'd be more."

"That trade-off seems reasonable" said President Roslin, "but shields to the Cylons…. I don't feel comfortable with that."

"It is a surprise" said the Commander, "but then again, our peoples are being kept separated from one another."

"And the Earthers said that there are more threats out there than the Cylons" said the Vice-President.

"I'll bring it up with their President" said Roslin, "in the meantime, I think we should get ourselves ready."

"May I suggest some breakfast before we prepare ourselves for the meeting later today?" said the Vice-President as he looked at both Roslin and Commander Adama.

"I agree" said Commander Adama, "I could do with some coffee before heading up to the Galactica for a change of clothes before the meeting."

"Speaking of which, Commander" said the Vice-President, "I need a ride back to the Galactica as well."

"Very well" said the Commander, "we leave right after breakfast."

The Avalon, one minute away from Caprica.

Colonel William Ronsen was sitting on the command chair as the ship he commanded, the Avalon, flew through the hyperspace tunnel towards Caprica. He had received intelligence from Home World that the Colonials were possibly gaining their hands on Ori technology. HE receive the order directly from General O'Neill who received the information from General Landry based on Talia's statements. The plan was to conduct a simple recon mission using one of the two Jumpers that the SGC possessed, one of which was on Cylon Earth and the other one was in the Avalon hanger bay.

The Jumper would be piloted by Captain Crystal Matthews while Lt. Brian Fowler would be accompanying her on the recons mission. The Avalon would drop out of Hyperspace some distance away from the Ori ships that Talia said were orbiting Caprica, and then the Jumper would immediately leave before the Avalon went back into hyperspace once again.

In the meantime, the Jumper would scan the planet from orbit, as well as any other craft that were nearby.

"Colonel" said the Major who was seated at Colonel Ronsen's left side, "we have thirty seconds before exiting Hyperspace."

"Captain Matthews" said the Colonel as he connected to the communication system so that he could talk to the five foot brunette who was sitting in the Jumper's pilot's seat while her partner was checking their stocks of supplies for one last time, "we'll be coming out of hyperspace soon, stand by for opening of bay doors."

"Understood, sir" said Matthews as she looked back at her partner who nodded his head, indicating that everything they needed was in the ship. She then told Colonel Ronsen that she had already closed the ramp at the rear of the jumper, "we're ready to depart, sir."

"Depressurize the hanger bay, then open bay doors" said the Colonel back on the bridge as he looked at the Captain on the right side of his command chair. He knew that without the shields in hyperspace to keep the air inside, the Jumper would be ejected forcefully out into the hyperspace tunnel where it was possible that the ship could be destroyed… however he was aware that no one really knew what would happen f a ship took off from inside the Hyperspace tunnel. Shaking his head at the myriad of possible scenarios, the Colonel told Captain Matthews that she had ten seconds.

Captain Matthews watched with her brown eyes as the bay doors opened while she and her partner stared in amazement at the blue and white hyperspace tunnel at the other side of the doors. She then heard the Colonel telling them that they had ten seconds before reaching close to Caprica.

"We'll make contact through the Stargate from M7T-657 in twelve hours" said Colonel Ronsen, "follow the rules of engagement in case your cloak is compromised. Head for the Gate immediately and dial the buffer planet if that happens. Good luck."

"Thank you, sir" said Captain Matthew as the tunnel vanished and they found themselves in normal space. The Captain then flew the cloaked Puddle Jumper out of the bay before the Avalon swung back before any Ori, or Colonial ships, could spot her and opened a Hyperspace window out of there.

"Let's see what we have here, ma'am" said Lt. Fowler as Captain Matthews headed towards Caprica and activated a HUD that showed two Ori ships in orbit. Close to the two ships was a massive ship that had what looked like a crocodile head with long flight pods on the port and starboard sides, "damn, is that the ship? The Pegasus?"

"Yep" said Captain Matthews as she looked at her scans and whistled, "definitely larger than the Daedalus class. I think the only ship we know that's just as large are the O'Neill class Asgard ships."

"True" said the lieutenant as he looked at the readings, "the power readings are at a bare minimum, it's nowhere the type of power that the naquada reactors put out, no shields emitters, they're using some sort of kinetic weapons.. railguns?"

"Let me get closer" said the Captain as she flew the cloaked Jumper around the larger ship, "scans show about thirty twin barrelled turrets, four cannons at the front, and… woah… look at all those smaller ones for point defence, flack, numerous missile tubes…I'm reading some radioactive materials from them; nukes, I'm guessing."

"She's heavily armed, and armoured" said the Lieutenant as he looked out at the ship above them before looking at Captain Matthews, "think the Ancient weapons can take her out?"

"Now?" asked the Captain as Lt. Fowler nodded his head while the she flew the Jumper around the mammoth ship, "unshielded? A few well placed hits to these fuel lines to disable the engines… a Mark Eight beamed into the hanger bays, or any other part of the ship to destroy it? Yeah… it'll be one hell of a light show. But if this baby gets shielded using Ori tech? It'll be harder, but I think we can push it through."

"I'm thinking about the whole Rand-Caledonia thing" said Lt. Fowler, "you know, when the Prometheus was nearly destroyed by the Ori satellite weapon. What if they manage to do something like that?"

"Our shields are much better thanks to that battle, and the battle at the Supergate" said Captain Matthews as she looked at another HUD which popped up while they were flying unnoticed, "umm.. they use something like radar? We're registering it.. but they still can't see us."

"Put that as another thing that they'll get from the Ori" said Lt. Fowler as the Captain furrowed her eyes questioningly at the blonde man, "you know.. scanners?"

"Right" said Captain Matthews as she made another run around the Prometheus while collecting scans. While she was doing another scan, a different HUD pooped up that showed a massive release of energy near the Pegasus. They both of them watched a bright flash of light as another ship appeared that was just a little smaller than the Pegasus. However, the readings that they were getting from this new ship were much more different than the ship that abandoned her fleet.

"What was that?" asked Lt. Fowler as Captain Matthews headed to the newly arrived ship, "there was a massive energy spike."

"Haven't you read the reports on the skirmish between the Avalon, Excalibur and the Galactica and the Pegasus?" asked Captain Matthew, "whatever form of FTL they use lets off a lot of energy. See.. energy levels are normalizing, but they aren't as low as the Pegasus."

"I should read that report" said Lt. Fowler as he looked at the scans, "power levels are holding steady, looks like they managed to make whatever they use as a power source more efficiently. I'm seeing the same weapon loadouts as the Pegasus but… look at that."

The both of them were looking at the scans of the newly arrived ship as the Jumper flew past some Vipers on patrol. The both of them saw the HUD in front of them which highlighted the kinetic weapons on the new ship, as well as power readings from four capacitors connected to two fixed cannons at the front of the ship, and two double barrelled turrets on the ship's dorsal section.

"This must be the experimental ship we were briefed on" said Captain Mathews as she looked at her scans, "I'm seeing some equipment on the hull… looks like shield emitters?"

"Colonel Ronsen's brief did say that they could have been experimenting with energy weapons and shielding before the Cylons attacked" said Lt. Fowler as he sat back while the Puddle jumper came about gracefully and flew past a few more Vipers unnoticed, "those plane things look sweet."

"Yeah" said the Captain as she started to scan the grey coloured Vipers, "RCS thrusters, three main thrusters, two kinetic energy weapons on the wings, and one on the vertical stabilizer, and I'm also reading reverse thrusters."

"They look sweet as hell though" said Lt. Fowler as he leaned forward and looked at the ships in front of him flying gracefully in formation.

"You're drooling" said the Captain chuckling, "I prefer the 302's to be honest with you, both atmospheric and space flight."

"Come on, ma'am" said the Lieutenant, "these ships can fly through the atmosphere too, at least that's what I'm assuming."

"Probably" said the Captain shrugging her shoulders, "but look at the short wings, those ships must have to push their thrusters to their max continuously to maintain airflow to stay up, it uses up more fuel that way."

Captain Mathews glanced at the Lieutenant who was frowning at her.

"Look, I give you that they look like they're built more towards flying in a vacuum" said the Captain, "but I'd still prefer having something that can be used in space and in the atmosphere."

"They are still sweet though, ma'am" said the Lieutenant, "and like you said, much more manoeuvrable in a vacuum because of those multiple RCS thrusters."

"So it's a draw then?" smirked the Captain as she glanced at the Lieutenant, "302's could beat them in atmosphere, and they've got the 302's beat as far as manoeuvrability goes in space."

"Possibly"

"But then again" said the Captain as she remembered the training she received on the newer F-302 models, "the newer models have shielding technology against weapons fire, so maybe the 302's still stand a chance against these ships."

"Manoeuvrability still counts, ma'am.. ours can manoeuvre… but we don't have as many RCS thrusters as these ships" said the Lieutenant as they still continued to run multiple scans on the Vipers, the Pegasus, and the new ship. The two of them continued their friendly banter about the Vipers as several raptors left the Pegasus, and headed for one of the Ori ships. Upon seeing those raptors, Captain Matthews and Lt. Fowler stopped talking and started a scan of the three Raptors. They found that two of the Raptors were guarding the third one which was carrying seven people. Believing that it was a delegation that was being sent to the Ori ship to gain more insight into their technology, the Puddle Jumper continued its scan. It wasn't too long before they collected as much information as they could before heading to the planet's atmosphere where they encounter small Ori fighters running patrols, but they were unable to get the Jumper on their scanners.

"Let's gather as much information as possible before heading out of here" said the Captain as Lt. Fowler nodded his head, excited to review all the data they captured so far.

Basestar One, Cylon Council Room, Eden, 0800 hours.

Natalie, Boomer, D'Anna, Simon and Leoben were with some of their other models as they discusses the progress they've made so far in gathering information from the bones that were sent back to them from Cylon Earth, to slowly making a small city, to deciding whether to tell the Earthers about the existence of the Colony, to finding a way for them to survive as a race.

"Those bones hold the key" said Natalie as she rubbed her forehead, "if those Cylons could have biologically reproduced, then I see no reason why we can't. There must be something."

"I've searched the bones" said Simon, "me and my twenty brothers are running experiments around the clock. But so far we've… I mean, we're nowhere we should be by now. I know the Farms we had in the Colonies were a failure, but… all I'm saying is that the other Sharon's child is the only known human-Cylon hybrid. I need to examine her. If we can find out how she came to be, then…."

"The people from Earth won't let anyone see her" said Natalie, "I asked Dr. Gardner and Colonel Reynolds. They said that she's in one of their bases which has to remain secret to both Cylons and Colonials. And Sharon can't come to us through the Gate to the Stars because of her pregnancy."

"They did send the samples of her blood" said Leoben, "have you found anything?"

"There is an anomaly" said Simon as he put his hands into his pockets, "but how that anomaly came to be, or what it does… I have no clue. I'm currently running experiments on it to see if it had anything to do with her being able to conceive a child."

"What did she have that I didn't" said Boomer as she crossed her hands over her chest, slightly jealous at her twin being able to have a child, "God said to love and be fruitful, I loved Galen and.. well…"

"I loved Gaius too" said Caprica Six who came up to Natalie and stood next to her over the basin of flowing water, "and we did make love multiple times, but… even I didn't get pregnant."

"That anomaly" said Leoben interrupting Boomer and Caprica Six as he looked at Simon, "could it be a result of a chemical reaction in the body? I mean our bodies, all that we are, is designed to replicated a human's; we have sex, we believe in God, we eat, we… well, we do everything else.. we bleed, we die, we sweat, we drink… if it possible to take the part where we say that 'God said to love' literally."

"What are you talking about?" asked Simon.

"Are there any chemical reactions in the human body when it falls in love?" asked D'Anna as she looked at Leoben, "is that what you're asking."

"Yes"

"Then that's the most ridiculous thing I've heard" scoffed D'Anna.

"Not necessarily" said Simon frowning, "I need to…."

Before they could continue talking, there was a knock on the door. Asking whoever it was to come in, the humanoid Cylons looked on as Dr. Gardner came in accompanied by Colonel Reynolds, and two Centurions.

"Dr. Gardner" smiled Natalie, "Colonel Reynolds, how can we help you?"

"Thank you for accompanying us" said Dr. Gardner as the Centurion nodded it's head before the both of them walked out of the room. She then turned to Natalie before reaching into her vest and taking out a tablet. Walking towards the group of Cylons with the Colonel by her side, Dr. Gardner handed the tablet to the Natalie as a picture of a dark skinned woman popped up on the screen.

"Miss Faust" said the Colonel as Dr. Gardner translated while handing the tablet to Natalie, "we got that image from the Colonial's planet. Have you ever seen her before?"

'I can't say that I have" said Natalie as she looked at the woman closely before handing the tablet to the other Cylons and then looked at Colonel Reynolds and Dr. Gardner, "may I ask why?"

"We've managed to build a version of a Cylon detector" said the Colonel as the other Cylons looked up from the picture in surprise, "Miss Valerii helped us in developing this device to scan the Colonials that would be settling on their planet. Now, a delegation arrived last night. And one of them was pinged as being a Cylon."

"That woman there" said Dr. Gardner as she nodded at the tablet before looking at Natalie, "I know you said that there are seven models of Cylons, but we've already seen your models… then…"

"It can't be" said D'Anna softly as she looked up at Leoben in shock, "can it?"

"They're supposed to be a myth" said Leoben.

"No" said D'Anna as she looked at Leoben, "Cavil told us that we can't talk about them… he's the one who made them into a myth."

"Them?" asked Dr. Gardner after she translated what Leoben and D'Anna were talking about before she turned to look at Natalie.

"There are in reality twelve models of Cylons" said Natalie as Dr. Gardner, and the Colonel looked at each other before they were led to a couch in the corner of the large room and sat down while the Cylons continued to talk, "you have the seven models and their copies, then there are five other models that no one has ever seen before. We're all connected… I can feel my sisters throughout this ship… throughout the planet I can feel them through the chip that's located at the base of our skulls. And when the Resurrection ships, and the Resurrection Hub still existed, we could feel each other where ever we were. But not once have we ever seen these Cylons that a few have called the Final Five."

"You see" said Simon as he sat next to Natalie, "when we died, we'd be resurrected as long as we were in range of a resurrection ship. Our memories would be stored in a central hub, and we could access that hub whenever we wanted to."

"But with the destruction of the Resurrection Hub" said Leoben, "that access is gone, but even before that… many of us would access the memories of our brothers and sisters wanting to confirm the existence of the Final Five… but we never could. When we tried, a protocol would activate that prevented us from asking further questions… or digging deeper."

"Who created that protocol?" asked Colonel Reynolds.

"Cavil, the Number Ones, would say that our creators created the protocol" said Boomer, "but he never told us why, we thought that maybe it was because he didn't know."

"Are you sure, Dr. Gardner" said Natalie as she looked at the archaeologist and linguist, "are you sure that this woman is a Cylon?"

"Our test is accurate" she said, "we tried it on the Colonial delegation, the team there tried it on themselves too… but it didn't ping them as Cylons. Just this woman."

"She's insisting that she's not a Cylon" said Colonel Reynolds, "at least that's the report I received, I can have it translated and give you a copy; her name, and her position redacted you understand. But you'll get a copy saying that she knows she's not a Cylon."

"That's what I thought too" said Boomer, "I found out I was a sleeper agent."

"You think she could be a Sleeper?" asked Dr. Gardner. She too knew about the dream that Sharon had in the Beta Site, and Home World had elected not to let the other Cylons know.. at least not until they've gathered more information.

"My copies were present when we cloned bodies for the resurrection tanks" said Simon, "and I can categorically say that she was never among any of the bodies."

"If she really is a member of the Final Five" said D'Anna as she looked at Natalie, "then she needs to be protected, protected from the other Colonials."

"D'Anna's right" said Caprica Six, "if she is one of us, then she should be sent here. If she's one of the Final Five, then she's one of a kind… she's different."

"I agree" said Natalie as she nodded at Caprica Six, and then at D'Anna before looking at Dr. Gardner, "will she be sent here?"

"We're waiting to examine the rest of the Colonial Fleet" said Dr. Gardner as Colonel Reynolds nodded his head, "if we find more, then we'll need to tell the Colonials."

"If there are more of these Final Five" said the Colonel, "they'll be under our protection from any Colonial reprisals. If the Colonel military believes that they pose a security threat to them by sending them here, then we'll have to send them to another world. If they don't pose a threat to security, then they'll be given the choice to come here, or go to another planet where eyes will be kept on them."

"President Roslin's already been asked by Colonel Finn, and Dr. Burke not to inform anyone about this woman's status as a possible Cylon" continued Colonel Reynolds as Dr. Gardner translated, "and she agreed not to."

"I see" said Natalie, "is there no way for us to talk to her? If she really is one of the Final Five then…"

"She says that she knows she's not a Cylon" said Dr. Gardner, "at least according to the report that was sent to us. What we're thinking to do is if we can find more of these Final Five among the Colonial Fleet, then we'll be sequestering them and running an additional test that was used on this woman."

"A blood test?" asked Simon as Dr. Gardner nodded her head.

"And then" said the Colonel as Dr. Gardner translated, "if they still insist that they're not Cylons, then we, not the Colonials, will send in a team of interrogators to determine if what they say is true. If they really believe themselves to be human, then they'll have all the normal reactions of a human to interrogation."

"Torture?"

"No" said Dr. Gardner as she looked at D'Anna, "we have people who can come in to question them about their lives. They're experts at analysing human behaviour, and they've been recommended by the IOA to talk to this woman, and anyone else we may find in the fleet."

"We have the same reactions as humans do" said Simon, "and if what they say is true, it will be evident in their body language? Is that what you're saying?"

"Yes" said Dr. Gardner, "they'll talk to her, and anyone else who is found to be a Cylon, and determine if what they're saying is the truth. We'll have the Colonials present, but we'll be doing the heavy lifting. If they really don't remember being Cylons, then it's still up to the Colonials."

"My guess is that if they are sent to another world" said the Colonel, "then maybe we can come. Up with some kind of an arrangement where your people could talk to her, and others if they really do exist, with the Colonials being present to make sure no secrets are being given away. Of course we'll be there to make sure there is no fighting between your peoples."

"I understand" said Natalie as she nodded her head, "we will wait for you determination. In the meantime, there's something we've neglected to mention… something we've been talking about revealing to your people. Please don't think of this as something we didn't want to reveal, it's just that we don't know if it still exists…. Or if it's moved somewhere else because our ships have been cut off from it."

"It?" asked the Colonel as he leaned forwards after looking at a confused Dr. Gardner.

"Our homeworld" said Caprica Six, "the Colony."

Gateroom, SGC, 0900 hours.

The entire SGC was on high alert due to the arrival of President Hayes from his first ever trip through the Stargate. While the mountain was being sealed until the President left Earth, SG-1 and SG-13 were in the Gate Room preparing for departure. It was about five minutes later that General O'Neill, General Landry, as well as four of the President's secret service personnel walked in with the President himself.

It was then that the military personnel of SG-1, and SG-13, stood at attention as saluted their Commander-in-chief.

"At ease" said the President as everyone from the two teams nodded their heads. He then smiled and headed to Colonel Carter and the others while excitedly shaking their hands, saying that he was excited to walk through the Stargate for the first time. He then stepped back and said that he selected the secret service team himself, and were already briefed on what to expect.

"Faith, Major Rosenberg" said General O'Neill, "the both of you will be with the President at all times; you'll both be an extra layer of security."

"Understood, Sir" said Willow as she and Faith nodded their heads.

"Daniel, I need you with Balinsky" said General O'Neill, "you'll be joining Woolsey, Dr. Burke, the President, and myself, and the Colonial delegation for our meet."

"Got it, Jack" said Daniel.

"Colonel Dixon, I need you, Teal'c, Mitchell and Captain O'Neill to help Colonel Finn's team with security. I want a secure perimeter established around the meeting site" said the General.

"Understood" said Colonel Dixon.

"Carter, Hailey" said the General, "I want you two with us as well.. I'm sure the issue of technology will come up, and I need the both of you, and Red, there to… well, explain stuff."

"Understood, sir" said Colonel Carter nodding her head.

"We're ready, General" said General O'Neill as he looked at General Landry, who then turned to the control room and told Walter to dial New Kobol. It was then that Willow and Faith took positions close to the President while the redhead placed a telekinetic shield it front of the President and General O'Neill.

Willow looked at Faith and smiled when the President and his Secret Service escort jumped back slightly when the Stargate activated. General Landry then wished the President a pleasant trip through the Gate.

"This is going to be interesting" said the President as Vala, Colonel Carter and Colonel Mitchell left through the Gate before the Secret Service escorts, the President and General O'Neill, Willow and Faith, and then the rest of the two teams. IT wasn't too long before the Stargate deactivated leaving General Landry at the foot of the ramp before he turned and ran up the stairs to the control room.

"Walter" said the General as he approached the technician, "I want to check-in on General O'Neill and the President every hour on the hour until they get back. Has the teams on Cylon Earth checked in yet?"

"Another two hours, sir" said Walter as the General patted his back before leaving up the stairs to the briefing room.

"I'll be in my office" said the General as Walter nodded his head. The General was almost at the top of the stairs when the klaxons went of and Walter said that there was an unscheduled in-coming wormhole. The General then ran back down just as the Stargate activated, and an IDC was received by the computer.

"It's Colonel Reynolds, sir" said Walter as he looked over his shoulder at the General, and then at the computer, "we have audio and video."

"On screen" said the General who stepped back and looked up at a screen as Walter pressed a button. The screen then activated with Colonel Reynolds and Dr. Gardner looking through the camera of the MALP that remained at the Stargate ever since they arrived on this planet, "Colonel Reynolds, Dr. Gardner.. we weren't expecting to hear from you until tomorrow."

"Sir" said the Colonel, "permission for myself and Dr. Garner to return to Earth."

"We need to talk, General" said Dr. Gardner.

"About?"

"The Cylon Homeworld, sir" said the Colonel, "It's mobile, deadly, and no one knows where it is."

"Ho w deadly are we talking about?"

"Enough firepower to destroy all life on a planet, sir" said Colonel Reynolds as the General frowned.

"Get back" said a worried General. He knew that if true, if this homeworld of the Cylons was dangerous, and mobile.. then it could cause all sorts of problems. However, he was also aware that they didn't have the resources to go search for this mysterious base, but at least they could get a word out to their allies to be on the lookout for whatever this homeworld turned out to be.. but he knew that he needed to hear whatever information the Colonel and Dr. Gardner had on it, "I want a full briefing on this homeworld."

"On our way" said Dr. Gardner as the video feed was cut.
