Chapter 102

Harry's long range sensors onboard his Alteran cruiser picked up another Battlestar in space shortly after the fall of the colonies to the Cylon attack. Harry sensed it was time for him to take a hand in the fate of that vessel as well. The powerful young god willed himself to merge with an officer on the bridge of the more advanced Battlestar, the first officer to be exact.

Onboard Pegasus, not long after the Cylon attack on the colonies…

Harry came to awareness after his short jaunt through time and space in the body of one Jurgen Belzen, the first officer of the Pegasus. Harry found himself in the middle of an attack on a Cylon communications array. The Cylons knew the Pegasus was coming and the Pegasus' attack was going to get a lot of humans killed.

"Mr. Belzen, are you refusing to carry out my orders?" Admiral Helena Cain asked Harry in response to the caution Belzen had advised Cain to show just before Harry's arrival.

"Sir I cannot in good conscious obey them," Harry answered, deciding he needed to save some lives.

"Mr. Belzen give me your sidearm," Cain ordered.

Harry did as ordered. Cain cocked the gun and pointed it at Harry's forehead. As she pulled the trigger he moved with inhuman speed, moving his head out of the way while at the same time bringing his arm up and deflecting her aim. The round flew past Harry's head and went directly into the forehead of Colonel Fisk, one of Cain's most loyal supporters and the one who was most likely to give Harry trouble. Harry completed his rapid movements by stepping inside Helena's reach and executing a Vulcan neck pinch.

As she dropped Harry muttered loud enough for all to hear, "I've covered up for your sadistic ways long enough Helena."

Turning to stare down everyone in the CIC Harry barked out, "Lt. Shaw."

"Yes Sir," The newly arrived and very attractive young Kendra Shaw said as she arrived before Harry standing stiffly at attention.

"You are my new XO. I'm taking command of this ship. Recall the squadrons immediately and prepare to jump away," Harry ordered.

"Yes Sir," Shaw answered before hastening to carry out his orders.

Turning to two guards Harry ordered Cain locked in his quarters. She would remain unconscious till he arrived.

"Sir, we're being boarded by Cylons," Shaw announced a moment later.

"Get to secondary damage control and head them off. They'll try to vent our atmosphere," Harry instructed.

"Yes Sir," Shaw answered before hurrying away.

Harry sent a replicat to watch after her as he was interested in her. Gina, another number six model Cylon in the same form as Athena soon arrived on the bridge. As soon as the squadrons were onboard the ship jumped away.

"You…step away from the Captain," Kendra ordered with an assault rifle pointed at Gina.

"Lieutenant," Gina protested.

"Now," Kendra demanded. "You two, take her into custody…she's a Cylon spy…they look like us," Kendra explained as she ordered two guards.

"Do it," Harry agreed. "I'm assuming you have proof?" Harry asked Kendra with a raised eyebrow.

"Mr. Hoshi can you please show us the security feed from airlock four," Kendra asked in way of reply.

As the feed was brought up and showed the number six model Kendra had just killed boarding the ship, Harry maneuvered his way behind the blonde cylon. When she made her move to kill the guard with inhuman strength and speed Harry caught her wrist. He used her momentum to twirl her around and push her up against the wall. He twisted her arms behind her back and cuffed her with a pair of cuffs handed to him by a guard.

"Put her in my quarters secured against a bulkhead," Harry ordered.

Harry went about the task of beginning repairs on the Pegasus.

"Colonel Shaw," Harry called, promoting the officer on the spot by addressing her with her new rank. "Join me."

Harry's new quarters…

Kendra Shaw followed her captain into his quarters, very nervous of what would happen next. Kendra saw the Cylon cuffed to a bulkhead along with Admiral Cain lying on the bed unconscious.

"I've covered for her for years," Her CO's voice broke Kendra out of her observations as he stood over Cain's unmoving form. "When she was a child Helena was forced to abandon her injured sister to the Cylons or be killed herself. Since then she's been damaged. Helena had a sadistic side. She enjoyed seeing others in pain. I've managed to keep it restricted to giving grueling assignments to crew members and things of a less damaging nature but I knew it couldn't last. Without the censure of the government to stop her she would have been the death of us all," Jurgen Belzen informed Kendra as he turned and fixed her with a piercing stare.

Kendra found herself transfixed with his powerful gaze. He was a handsome man and Kendra felt a pleasant tingle down below that signaled her desire for her CO.

"I need to know I can trust you Kendra," Harry informed the dark haired dark eyed beauty.

"What can I do to prove my loyalty Sir?" Kendra questioned.

Harry turned in his quarters when he sensed a familiar presence arrive behind him silently.

"Grace, what are you doing here?" Harry asked.

Grace Satterfield was one of Harry's wives from the Stargate universe but she also happened to be the counterpart to Sharon 'Boomer' Valerri also known as the cylon model Eight.

"The better question is what you are doing here," Sharon replied. "I have been in this reality for some time cultivating it. This is a seed verse."

Harry was confused because he hadn't sensed Grace's presence.

"I don't sense another version of me in this galaxy," Harry said.

"He isn't in this time period…this is far into the past relative to when he lives. But he's about to be transported to this time period," Grace explained.

"Oh…well crap. I'm sorry. I didn't realize it. No wonder I didn't sense it," Harry said.

"It's alright. You just need to leave. I'll be bonding with that Harry at some point. Then you will experience everything through our bond including the two wives you have already collected," Grace clarified.

"But…I can't just unbond two women," Harry pointed out.

"Can you transfer the bonds to me and then when I bind with your counterpart-Harry I can transfer them to him?" Grace asked.

"I think I can do that. Until you bond with him though, he won't have the ability to hold the bonds without them killing him. I can rewind time back before I came in this universe yet still maintain those two bonds for a focal point for the rewinding," Harry explained. "I'll rewind to a few weeks before my arrival just to be on the safe side."

"Thank you," Grace told her husband before stepping up and stealing a kiss.

Then she was gone. Harry summoned up his power and altered the universe around him before he left it altogether.

The Yacht Haven

Harry Potter materialized in a steel walled room with a thunderous boom that rocked his environment. Discharges of electricity shot off from his form and connected with the walls as the arcane energy that had brought him here did its work. Harry quickly stood and looked around. He grasped at his wand holster looking for his wand as he spun and checked the room around him.

That was when Harry knew he wasn't on Earth anymore. A section of the wall behind Harry had been transparent. Outside that transparent area was the blackness of space.

"Bloody hell," Harry whispered.

Moments before, Harry had been in the fight of his life against Tom Marvolo Riddle A.K.A. Lord Voldemort. Harry had won but at a price. Riddle had played some kind of runic endgame trap when he had realized he was going to lose. That trap shot over a dozen killing curses from every direction at Harry. He hadn't been able to dodge. Harry wasn't sure why he had survived but suspected it had something to do with the Deathly Hallows, all of which Harry had possessed on his person. Harry felt for the ring after realizing the Elder Wand had not returned to his wand holster. The ring which also held his cloak in a pocket dimension was gone. He reached into his pocket and was relieved to find his shrunken trunk still present. Harry's original phoenix feather holly wand was in that trunk along with dozens of other wands captured from Death Eaters he and Hermione had killed over the years in their guerilla war waged against Riddle.

Harry spun as a door opened behind him. A stunningly gorgeous blonde woman entered the room along with a creature Harry could only describe as a robot based off of some of the movies he had glimpsed the Dursleys watching in his childhood. The two new arrivals focused on Harry and the robot's hand transformed from a long pointed-fingered affair to what was clearly the barrel of a gun.

"Who are you? How did you get on this ship?" Six demanded.

But it was no good. Harry didn't know the language. If he had his wand he could cast a translation charm. While he knew how to cast a number of spells wandlessly a translation charm was not one of those spells.

"I don't understand you lady," Harry said.

Six didn't recognize what he was saying either so ordered the centurion, "Subdue him."

As the centurion moved forward in a threatening way and reached out with its hand still shaped like a hand, Harry instinctually lashed out with a severing charm. The hand fell to the deck neatly severed. The centurion reeled back trying to process what had happened.

"Kill him," Six shouted, realizing that the dark haired man was more of a threat than first recognized.

The centurion shot the threat immediately. The round bounced off Harry's chest knocking the wind out of him before ricocheting through the viewport. The door had closed behind Six and the centurion or the rest of the ship would have been in trouble. But all three occupants were immediately sucked out through the shattered viewing window. The centurion didn't have any hands to grab on with but both Harry and Six managed to snare the window ledge. Harry immediately noticed that while the sensation of not being able to breathe was very uncomfortable that it did not kill him. Nor did the vacuum and cold of space kill him. It didn't kill the blonde woman either. Parts of her body were starting to glow and she shifted her grip intending to kick him. In that second Harry knew she had to die. Her life had to end whatever she was or she would end him. Harry's green eyes suddenly glowed brighter. And then two tiny killing curses no bigger than his eyeballs shot from his eyes and hit her. And just like that the blonde woman's entire cellular structure shut down. She drifted away from the window.

Harry heaved himself back into the room and rotated once inside. He gestured at the destroyed window area and traced the rune for the reparo charm with his fingertip. As he suspected the window repaired itself. The ship sensed the reestablished seal and flooded the room with air. Harry started breathing again immediately.

"Bloody hell," Harry said as he lay sprawled on the floor staring up at the ceiling.

Harry didn't stay down for long. Instead he climbed to his feet and tested out a few more spells wandlessly that he wouldn't have been able to cast without a wand before. Harry tried an invisibility spell after summoning a mirror. Before, his invisibility spell had left a shimmering trace in the air which was visible if a person looked hard enough. Now he couldn't see anything. That was when Harry knew where the Hallows had gone. Somehow the backlash that had transported him here had allowed him to absorb the Hallows. Harry put that aside and decided he needed to see if there were more of those robot things on this ship. It was time to explore. While leaving the invisibility spell on himself Harry began to search the ship.

One Week Later

Harry sat in the sitting room onboard his space yacht reading a history book like his life depended on it. Those were thoughts Harry had never thought he would have. The yacht had belonged to a man who had believed in being prepared for an eventual cylon attack. Cylons were what the robotic creatures were that had attacked Harry when he had first arrived. The former yacht owner Bill Zulie had been believed slightly mad for taking such precautions by mainstream society. But if the recent broadcasts logged in the yacht's databanks were to be believed that cylon attack had come. Harry was still trying to sort out the computer system onboard the yacht and learning how to pilot it. But he had made good progress.

Bill's body had been found while searching the ship which had been named Haven. Haven possessed a massive digital library along with all the other amenities to survive in space for many years. It was that library that was allowing Harry to learn what he needed to know with the aid of a translation charm. Harry had figured out how to program the ship's computer with his language so that he didn't need to use the charm to read everything.

Harry periodically found himself distracted from his studies by memories from his past. In particular he most often thought of Hermione. The woman had been his girlfriend and lover for the past several years as they hunted horcruxes and learned to combat the Death Eaters and their master. He missed her terribly. He also found that having experienced her daily physical affections that he was suffering without the attentions of a woman. Harry wasn't sure if he was in his universe, in the far future of his universe, or the far past of his universe. Whatever the case his best hope of getting home would probably lie with finding the survivors of the cylon nuclear assault. Hopefully along the way he could get some physical relief. Hermione would completely understand. But first before he sought out humanity in this strange region of space he needed to learn more about their history.

Haven Two Months Later

Harry drew the last rune in place for his divination circle. He had mastered all of the most successful techniques for divining something sought after in his quest to find horcruxes despite Trelawney's best efforts.

Harry sat in the circle and channeled his power into the runic array while focusing on the largest concentration of humanity. It didn't take him long to get a set of astral coordinates.

Harry had been observing the fleet of ships he had located which harbored the greatest concentration of humanity he knew of in this sector of space. He was using a cloaking spell to hide his presence. From what he had been able to gather from their radio chatter the military presence in the human fleet was searching for a downed pilot named Kara Starbuck Thrace. She had gone down in a very hostile environment on a moon within the system the fleet was currently located within. The hostile environment made it very hard to locate any downed ships and made the search fleet begin to lose hope. Kara's chances for survival were decreasing the longer she remained missing. Harry decided this could give him some much needed goodwill with the humans. Harry once more broke out his divination magic and set it to the task of searching out Kara.

"Well this is it," Kara mused with slow thoughts. "I'm finally going to bite it. At least my reaper is gorgeous," Kara thought as she spotted a handsome man approaching without a space suit, something which was impossible in Kara's mind for all but a reaper.

Kara's delirium passed as she went into a gentle sleep.

Onboard Haven

Kara slowly returned to consciousness. Before she opened her eyes she noticed that she was somewhere warm and comfortable but her body ached in various places. Kara opened her eyes and was met with the sight of a dark haired man sitting and typing away at holo-interface. As if he felt her gaze upon him, the man looked at Kara.

"Ah…you're awake," Harry said with a pleased tone.

"Where am I?" Kara asked.

"You are onboard my ship Haven," Harry explained. "I rescued you from the moon where you crashed. Your people were not having any luck finding you."

"And how did you find me?" Kara asked as she examined her obviously broken leg in a cast. "And what is your name?"

"My name is Harry Potter. I have some very useful inventions I created at my disposal," Harry answered. "One of them allowed me to locate you."

"And why haven't you contacted my people Harry?" Kara asked suspiciously.

"Because of that exact reaction," Harry said as he pointed to Kara. "They are going to view me with suspicion. It would be easier if you were awake and I let you contact them. I brought communications equipment for you to use." Harry handed Kara a small portable communications device tied to his ship's com system which was already set to call Kara's people. "I just sent a signal that has this ship moving within range of your fleet's ability to detect it."

"This all seems really convenient and a good way to get my people to lower their guard. How do I know you aren't a cylon?" Kara asked.

"You don't," Harry said. "But I will keep my ship out of weapons range and your people can send a ship over to get you and then you can come back and check me out later."

Kara slowly nodded her agreement with that plan.

Galactica Infirmary

"How are you feeling?" Commander William 'Bill' Adama asked Kara as he saw her in the infirmary with her leg in a cast.

"Lately I've felt a hell of a lot worse. I felt a hell of a lot worse on that planet before Harry pulled my ass out of there," Kara said.

Kara didn't say anymore given the fight she and the commander had had before she had crashed.

"Kara, you did good," Bill said before leaning down and kissing her forehead letting her know that all was forgiven. "I hate to ask you so soon after you got back but what is your take on this Harry? Do you think he is a cylon?"

"I didn't get the impression that he was but it's so hard to tell these days," Kara replied. "What about the raider he gave us?"

"He disabled whatever bio-engineered creature ran it before turning it over. The chief is checking it out now. The president and I have agreed that until Dr. Baltar can verify that Harry isn't a cylon he will be kept a distance from the main fleet," Bill explained.

"Harry said I could come search his ship when I am feeling better," Kara added.

"That is something," Bill said with a nod of agreement. "Until you are feeling better rest up. And you earned this," Bill said as he handed Kara a cigar in a silver tube.

Kara laughed and watched him walk away.

One Week After Joining the Fleet

Harry was approaching Bill Adama to meet the commander for the first time with an armed escort of two men when Harry saw Bill jog a short ways down the corridor.

"Doral," Bill yelled at a man that had been walking down the corridor.

Doral stopped and turned to stare at Bill for a moment before opening his jacket to reveal a bomb vest. Harry leapt forward in front of Adama who was the closest to Doral and erected an energy shield just in time. Doral detonated the bomb and the blast shot down the corridor at the humans. Harry grunted as the blast drove him back several inches despite the shield.

"What the frack," Chief Tyrol said as he stared at Harry in shock.

"What was that?" Bill demanded of Harry as the shield disappeared and smoke came billowing out of the corridor.

Terrified shouts were heard from down the corridor.

"An energy shield," Harry said. "I'm an inventor Commander. That was a byproduct of bio-technology I developed which took years to grow inside of me and even more years to master."

Harry had thought up several scenarios to explain his powers should he have need of using them. Bill was silent as he puzzled through that response from the mysterious Harry. From what Bill was gathering that technology was not easily implemented. Bill had more pressing matters to deal with at this time.

"Chief, have the Master at Arms meet me in my ready room," Bill said before signaling one of Harry's escorts to come over. Bill whispered into the man's ear, "Extend him a little more latitude but if he can do more than that…be ready for anything."

"Understood Sir," Crewman Matthews replied.

Bill didn't know what else to say.

"Thank you," Bill told Harry before shaking Harry's hand. "If you'll excuse me I need to deal with this. I understand you wished to visit Starbuck. She is in the infirmary."

With that Bill left. Harry was guided to the infirmary by Crewmen Matthews and Ames. When he walked into the infirmary Harry saw Kara sitting up on her bed looking around as the doctor treated several minor injuries that had resulted in the panic from the explosion.

"What happened?" Kara asked when she saw Harry. "Are we under attack?"

"No, Ma'am," Matthews reported. "There was a man wearing a suicide bombers vest that almost killed Commander Adama and Chief Tyrol."

"Are they ok?" Kara asked in alarm.

Matthews and Ames exchanged looks before Ames said, "He saved them and us."

Ames had nodded towards Harry. Kara looked intently at Harry.

"How did he manage that?" Kara asked.

"I used energy shielding technology I have developed," Harry answered.

"I can't see them letting you bring unknown technology onboard," Kara said after a moment.

"We can't detect it, Ma'am," Matthews replied. "It is bio-technology."

"Frack me," Kara said in surprise.

"I would love to," Harry thought but didn't say aloud.

Kara suddenly realized something.

"Is that why I thought I saw you not wearing a space-suit?" Kara asked.

"Yeah…I don't need one with my shield," Harry answered.

The two guards were even more stunned than Kara. Kara suddenly wondered if Harry could survive hard vacuum.

"Give us some space," Kara told the two guards. The guards moved off. "How did you get this bio-technology inside of you?"

"A gene modification therapy over the course of several years," Harry explained. "It took me years beyond the completion of therapy to master."

"How do we know this isn't some new cylon technology?" Kara asked. "Because it sounds far more plausible for you to be a cylon than for some human to suddenly give himself powers like a Lord of Kobol."

Dr. Cottle chose that moment to walk up after he had finished treating his other patients. He was in time to hear Kara's question.

"Perhaps you can explain the basics of your technology to me and I can decide that," Cottle said. "I am well versed in genetic therapy research after all." Harry proceeded to explain the story he had concocted about how the gene therapy would be done. Harry had prepared Cottle for this scenario several days before using Legilimency. "That does sound plausible," Cottle said. "But it's damn impressive you got it to work."

One of Cottle's patients called him away at that moment.

"Excuse me everyone," Matthews called. "We just got word that the president is about to make an important announcement. I'll put it up so everyone can hear."

Matthews brought a portable receiver in since the Galactica was a non-networked Battlestar.

"Good afternoon and thank you for coming," President Laura Roslin said from her ship. Roslin's ship was of a similar class as Harry's ship. "Please be seated. I'm sure by now that word of the explosion on the Galactica has spread through the entire fleet. We offer our continued gratitude to the brave men and women onboard this mighty ship. In consultation with Commander Adama I have appointed an independent tribunal to investigate the circumstances surrounding this explosion. Also in the interest of public safety and security I feel it is time to reveal certain information that has until now remained a tightly guarded secret. This information was known only to myself, Commander Adama, and a few select advisers. The cylons have the ability to mimic human form. They look like us now. We have reason to believe that a cylon agent was responsible for the explosion onboard Galactica. This man has been identified as a cylon agent," Laura said as her aid Billy revealed a photograph of Doral. "We believe him to be responsible for the bombing. He evidently slipped onboard the Galactica with a civilian group, killed a marine guard, stole the explosives, and detonated them. Due to the intervention of a Colonial agent who wishes to remain anonymous the explosion resulted in no further loss of life. This man has also been identified as a cylon," Laura said as a second picture was revealed. "We now know that there are duplicates of each cylon model. If anyone sees either of these two men anywhere at any time in the fleet should immediately contact the Battlestar Galactica and the Office of the President. Now I will take your questions."

Matthews turned off the receiver as discussion broke out among the occupants of the medical bay.

"Frack," Kara said in shock. "The toasters look like us."

"I know. I encountered one early on when I evacuated," Harry said.

Kara focused on Harry in further surprise.

"What happened?" Kara asked.

"I managed to space her and the chrome colored centurion with her," Harry said.

"It was a woman?" Kara questioned.

"Yes. And she was absolutely bloody gorgeous," Harry answered. "Until she ordered the centurion to kill me."

"So you used that shield to take them on?" Kara asked.

"Among other things, yes," Harry answered.

"What other things?" Kara asked.

"I don't know you that well yet my dear. Maybe you'll find out eventually," Harry answered.

Kara's expression was unreadable for a moment as she stared up at Harry.

"Pull up a chair and maybe we can start to become better acquainted," Kara suggested.

Harry did so and was talking to Kara for a quite a while about what their lives had been like. Kara noted that while Harry was telling her in broader terms about his life he didn't get specific with the names of places he had lived. She gathered he had led a hard life in his earlier years, even harder than hers. She was becoming intrigued by him the more he talked.

"Kara," Lee greeted as he walked in. "And Harry," Lee added.

Lee had been on the ship that came to pick up Kara from Haven and tow the captured raider back to Galactica. So Lee had already met Harry.

"What's up Lee?" Kara asked.

"I just wanted to let you know what is going on. It's like a witch hunt out there," Lee said as he stood at the end of Kara's bed. "Sergeant Hadrian has been given special powers of investigation and is questioning the hanger deck crew about what went on there. From what little I've heard…the crewmembers aren't getting their stories straight concerning the whereabouts of Chief Tyrol."

"You haven't been on the ship long enough to know it…but Tyrol and Boomer have been carrying on a relationship in violation of the code of conduct. That is probably what they are covering for," Kara explained.

"Huh…well that will probably come out," Lee said.

"No doubt. Colonel Tigh ordered the two to put a stop to the relationship. I thought they had but maybe they didn't," Kara said.

Lee knew how things worked on a ship like Galactica. The rumor mill worked overtime to spread news like an affair. Harry also figured he knew how things worked.

"I just wanted to let you know what was going on," Lee said.

"Thanks Lee," Kara said before Lee turned and left.

There was silence as Kara was thoughtful. Harry sensed some sexual undercurrent there.

"You said your fiancé Zack died," Harry said. "Zack Adama was his name you said."

"Yes…Lee was his brother," Kara answered. Harry sensed there was more, some guilt Kara was carrying. Kara glanced at his face and realized he knew there was more. He had saved her life at a time where if he hadn't she never would have reconciled with Commander Adama, Zack's father. Harry deserved to know how much what he did meant to her more than just saving her life. "I passed Zack through flight school when he really had no business being in a raptor. He died on one of his first flights."

Harry let the silence hang there for a moment as he thought over this revelation. Kara was staring ahead and not looking at his face to see his reaction. Harry reached out and laid a hand on her arm which caused her to look at him.

"When I was younger I was fighting against this terrorist group. I received misleading intel that suggested the terrorist cell had captured my godfather Sirius and were torturing him. I led a mission to rescue Sirius and it turns out he had just been out of contact but not captured. Sirius came with a group to extract my group from a trap we fell into. Sirius died as a result. I felt terrible guilt for a long time. Some things are just beyond our control to know what is going to happen. They happen and there is nothing we can change. Beating ourselves up about it doesn't help. I can tell you this but it will take you a while to realize it. Just know if you need someone to talk to I am available," Harry said.

Kara was grateful to hear what he had to say.

"Thank you," Kara said.

The conversation turned to other matters and Harry visited with Kara for a while longer.

OP – BSG – OP – BSG – OP – BSG – OP – BSG – OP – BSG – OP – BSG – OP – BSG – OP

Harry had slipped a bracelet onto Starbuck's wrist that would let him know when she was in danger. Runes in the bracelet gave it an effect similar to a Notice-Me-Not-Charm. The bracelet was giving intermittent warnings like it couldn't figure out if she was in danger or not an hour after Harry left Starbuck in sick-bay. Harry apparated into sick-bay under an invisibility spell just in time to see a man leaving Starbuck's area with a familiar blonde following the man. Harry froze for a moment because he sensed arcane energy coming from the blonde woman following Gaius Baltar.

Harry recognized Dr. Baltar after several moments. Dr. Baltar had been among the recent information Harry had perused taken from spying on the personal files of William Adama. Commander Adama had tasked Baltar with developing a cylon detector. The blonde woman following Gaius was the same cylon that had attacked Harry upon his arrival in this strange realm. Or at least that was what the blonde woman appeared to be. Harry slipped out of sick-bay following the pair.

"They're trying to kill me," Gaius whispered to his blonde companion.

"Me, me, always me," Six said. "They are trying to destroy your work. Destroying you is an added bonus."

"But why…that is what I don't understand," Gaius replied. "You're the one that told me what to do in the first place." As Harry followed Baltar, Harry realized that others couldn't see the blonde woman. "I wouldn't even be making this cylon detector if it wasn't for you."

"But I'm just in your head Gaius," Six pointed out. "They don't know about me or us or our life together."

"How romantic," Gaius said. "Well I'm going to have to destroy that cylon detector myself."

Six shoved Gaius up against the nearest bulkhead before turning him around and getting her hand around his throat.

"No you won't," Six said. "You are going to complete the project just like I told you."

"Really…will I," Gaius said. "Or what?"

"Don't make me angry Gaius," Six said in a threatening tone. "You wouldn't like me when I am angry."

Harry could feel a slight increase in the arcane energy coming off of the woman. Six kissed Gaius before slowly releasing him. Gaius looked towards a nearby guard who was watching the scientist oddly. Gaius walked on his way. Harry looked after the pair wondering just what the hell the energy being was. He was also grateful she couldn't see him under his invisibility spell. Harry realized he would have to be careful what he revealed around her.

Harry's entire view of this place he had found himself in had just shifted. To date he hadn't found any trace of any type of magical creature. Whatever the energy being was it was definitely magical in nature with unknown capabilities. Harry wondered if perhaps Gaius Baltar possessed some innate magic which would explain why Gaius and Harry were the only two that could see the energy being. Something deep down in Harry's instincts told him that such a simple explanation didn't reveal the energy being's nature. He decided to return to his ship and ponder this latest development.

Harry listened to the next broadcast on the investigation from Laura Roslin.

"Good evening. The investigation into the suicide bombing onboard Galactica and how it was allowed to occur has come to an end. The tribunal has determined that the cylon agent gained access to the explosives by going through a hatch door in the hangar deck of the ship. The door was left open due to negligence of one of the ship's crewmen. His name is Specialist Osinus. He has confessed to lying under oath and dereliction of duty in time of war. He has been stripped of his rank and confined to the brig. At this point we have no reason to believe that there were any other parties responsible," Roslin explained. "I will take your questions."

Harry stopped listening to the broadcast and instead focused on the various listening charms he had placed onboard Galactica during his earlier visit. One such conversation took place in Commander Adama's Ready Room.

"Sir," Chief Tyrol said as he stepped into the commander's ready room.

"What is it Chief?" William asked.

"Sir, I think Specialist Osinus is innocent," Tyrol said.

"What makes you think that?" William asked as she stopped what he was doing but didn't turn around.

"Sir, Lt. Agathon and I were engaged in a physical relationship," Tyrol admitted which caused William to slowly turn around. "The Specialist, hell all of my people, knew about it Sir. They covered for me. I think the specialist lied out of some misguided need to protect me. I was with Lt. Agathon at the time of the bombing."

"So you don't actually know where he was then," William pointed out.

"Well no Sir. But I know he is innocent. He doesn't deserve to be locked up," Tyrol said.

"He lied under oath and neglected his duty. You should be locked up right there with him for neglecting your duty as well. But we can't parade another person out in front of the civilian fleet while wearing that uniform. You are going to suffer a different kind of punishment. You are going to have to live knowing that he is locked up for your frack-up," William warned. "Now do your job."

"Sir," Tyrol began.

"You are dismissed Chief," William barked.

"Yes Sir," Tyrol said before he left.

Harry listened a short while later as Tyrol broke up with Lt. Agathon A.K.A. Boomer. The interesting part was that Tyrol didn't know if Agathon had left the hatchway open through which the bomber had entered. Tyrol had asked Agathon if she had left the hatchway open but she wouldn't answer. The chatter Harry was picking up from the fleet revealed that the civilians were rightfully frightened about the human-form cylon situation.

What Harry found interesting was that the civilians had quickly set up a monetary system that catered more to trade goods and services rather than cash. Harry thought he had the means to make many of the things the civilians needed like clothing and other supplies. He began tinkering with runic arrays that would gradually permanently transfigure raw materials such as asteroid rocks into raw cloth, thread, and needles for sowing clothing. The runes would draw ambient arcane energy for power which is why the process would be slower than if he powered the spells himself.

Author's Note 2

If you want to access the erotic versions of any of my stories follow the following instructions:
1) Go to Facebook and join the group Stargatesg1fan1's Fanfiction Works and Favorites (make sure you answer the security question)

2) Go to the Announcements section of the group. You will find a link in one of the posts to a Google drive folder. Inside that folder are copies of all of my stories (the smutty versions).

Note: If you create a new Facebook account it has to be with a legitimate name. I won't add anyone to the group that looks suspicious (it has to be a real person's name). For example, using the name "Lazy Lazy" is not a legitimate name.

I have chosen to move the erotic versions of my story to a less accessible forum which can be more closely controlled. If you cannot accept that then you don't need to be reading my stories. For those who can accept it, enjoy.

Enjoy,
