Somewhere on the Riverwalk Market

Afternoon

Tricia, better known among her brothers and sisters as number Six, finished her work and walked out of the governmental building. She was wearing tight jeans and white top, her now dark blond hair were pulled into the ponytail. She put a glasses on her nose and walked down the street to the Riverwalk Market. She had a meeting there and didn't want to be late.

"Tricia." As she was walking among the people in the market she heard someone called her name. She turned around and saw one of her brothers.

"Brother."

Cavil, the number One, exchanged a nods with the Six and joined her walking. He was holding a gray suitcase in his hand. He didn't talk at all, after he spotted another Six he stopped Tricia and pointed their sister with Gaius Baltar. They sat down on the nearest bench and waited. It wasn't long before they spotted their sister. They stood up and slowly approached to the woman with the sort man in the suit all over her. They patiently waited as she get rid of him, and when she did, One and Six walked toward her.


Caprica City

Laura's house

"I just got weird phone call." She said. Young Adama sent her curious look. "I don't know what to think about it. They said I am in danger that I should leave Caprica City. That someone is after my baby."

"Yeah that's weird. I believe that are only empty threats. Don't worry."

"Lee, what if it's true?" she asked them wondering about things she didn't say him.

"No one will hurt you, my dad and I won't let that happened. Try not to think about it."

Laura had to think about it. How so minor person could know something about her baby. Yes she had a dreams, really, really intrinsic, but they were after all like Bill said to her, just a dreams. The male voice in the phone was somehow familiar to her; the mysterious caller knew her that for sure, but how in the name of Gods he knew about her dreams and her daughter's illness ; those weren't public knowledge information. Laura had to sit down, this phone call terrified her. I know you having visions about the Cylons; they are true. The children of humanity are coming home, Laura and they will take your daughter away from you. She is the key, her origin and path has been written long before you were born. You have to escape from the Caprica before it's too late, before they hurt her… Protect the child, Laura. His words were so persuading, no wonder she started to think about her dreams, her life and baby once again.

She realize she's been staring at one point for couple of minutes when young Adama called her name. Laura met his eyes and give him a small smile, while going to the kitchen. She put the phone down on the table and opened the fridge.

"I invited my aid, Billy for a lunch today. If you want to, please stay." She said.

"I would love to, Laura." He answered and offered his help with the meal's preparations.


Somewhere on the Riverwalk Market

Afternoon

Gaius Baltar and his new girlfriend who name he still didn't remember were walking around the garden next to the Riverwalk Market talking about his new project for the Department of the Defense. After few minutes of walking they stopped. Gaius pulled his girlfriend into his arms and wanted to kiss her but she moved away.

"I have to go. I'm meeting someone." She said.

"Really? Who is he? I'm extremely jealous."

He looked at her suspiciously, but he wasn't pretending the jealous boyfriend. No, he knew that it wasn't something she will approve. After all they have an open relationship. She could meet everyone she wanted to, but no one will gave her the prestige and fame like he could. She looked at him and slowly moved her lips towards him.

"I doubted that." Six said.

Baltar licked his lip and looked down before he met her stare; he started to excuse himself. She pretended listen to him; she wasn't in the mood to do it actually. In the meantime as he was speaking, she was looking around, searching hers meeting partners among the people. Gaius said something that cut her attention, so she shoot a glance at him. They said goodbye and he left. She gasped with relive and waited before he disappeared from her sight and she turned around.

" It's about time, I wonder when you get here." She was a little bit surprised their quick appearance out of nowhere.

"Yeah well, I had to finish my work first." she said."Is everything prepared?" Tricia took the gray suitcase from her brother.

"Of course." answered Cavil. "Leoben will be here soon with the Centurions. It's time to visit President Adar. Come sisters."

One leaded them out of the Riverwalk Market. Before two Sixes followed their brother, Tricia grabbed her sister's forearm and carefully whispered into her ear.

"She wasn't in the office today, you have to find her, before it's too late. It's your destiny."

"I know." She answered and walked away. "But first I have to take care of something. I will find her, sister."


It was late afternoon when she walked into the house near the lake. She didn't have the key but it wasn't a problem since he hadn't been locking his door lately. She quietly walked up the stairs to the bedroom. Six wasn't really surprised and happy when she found Gaius in the bed with another woman, but she didn't do anything to wake them up. Six looked around the room and when she found out a chair, she sat down in it; she waited. An hour later he was still asleep; her patience came to the end. Six called him, once, twice. Third time she raised her voice and he was finally awake; he saw her and of course asked her what she was doing in his house

"Gaius who is this woman?" young brunet said toward him before Baltar started to excuse himself to her and to Six.

Blond tall Cylon listen to him with despise all over her face, like she would care to listen his lame excuses. Yes, of courses she was a 'friend', more than a friend to him, right… It hurt her in so many levels that he wasn't telling the truth but in the same time it was what she expected him to do. After all she knew him, he wasn't a honest man but egoistic with big ego asshole; that was one of things she loved about him. One madness look on the poor woman was enough to make her quickly disappear, not like she was some kind of threat to Six, but it was better when she was gone. What she was about to say shouldn't be heard by some minor human.

He walked out of bed dressing himself as she was studying his movement thinking what she should tell him. She looked away when he was telling her it's all his fault that they relationship didn't work out as it should. She once again didn't care to listen him but as more and more words come out of his mouth, she had to do something with that.

"Spare me your feigned self-awareness and remorse… I came here because I have something to tell you…" Six started and as he sat down she told him the truth about her existence.

She told him everything, three times and he still couldn't believe or as a matter of fact he chosen not to as she suspected. They were sitting in the living room, he still in some sort of shock was repeating her words misdoubting their meanings.

"So now you telling me…" he hesitate. "…now you telling me you're a machine. If you are a Cylon proof it. Proof it to me right now!"

"I don't have to…" she said amused by his shock caused by her news. " You know I'm telling the truth. You believe me because deep down you've always known there was something different about me… something that didn't quite add up in the usual way. And you believe me because it flatters your ego... to believe that alone, among all the billions of people... of the Twelve Colonies, you were chosen for my mission."

"Your mission? What mission? What exactly are you saying?"

"You knew I wanted access to the Defence mainframe. The communications frequencies. Deployment schedules. Unlimited access to every database…" she could gave him few more examples but one look on his face told her he know what he had done.

"Oh, my God. I had nothing to do with this." He was speechless for a moment but then he realize what he had done and what penalty he would have to pay if someone finds out. "How many people know about me, specifically? That I'm involved?"

"And even now, as the fate of your entire world hangs in the balance... all you can think about is how this affects you." She teased him.

"Do you have any idea what they will do to me if they find out?" Gaius stood up nervously.

"They'd probably charge you with treason." Six answered watching him as he was walking around the house. "Treason is punishable by the death penalty."

"This is unbelievable." He muttered. And then an idea came to him. He walked to the phone and started to dial up.

"What are you doing?" she raised a eyebrow.

"Phoning my attorney." He sound so confident yet he was struggling with his emotions deep inside and she knew it.

"That won't be necessary." She stood up. She had to do something to calm him down, after all she came here to save his sorry ass but he wasn't helping with his behavior.

"He'll know what to do. He'll sort this out. He's the best in the business." He said to her as he was waiting on the line. But she came to him and took a phone away.

"It won't be necessary, because in a few hours... " she said calmly. "No one will be left to charge you with anything."

"What exactly you saying?"now she got his attention. She smiled as she turned away from the window.

"Humanity children are coming home. Today! Get down!"

She pushed him to the ground, making him squat in front of her; she was protective holding her palms on his head. Six closed her eyes when the blast from the nuke bang up the windows and tiny pieces of glass was flying in the air. She felt they impaled her as the sharp pain went across her body and then it was over; the next thing she remembered was the awakening in the tube on one of the Basestars' above Caprica.


Cylon's Baseship

Red Line Base

Few hours earlier

"Six knows about the child. The Hybrid told her it's her destiny to protect it."

"Well that might complicate few things…"

"There is more…"

"What?"

"Hybrid started talking about Final Five, whoever they are; they have the same goal as we do; the child." He said as cavil started to walking around, thinking about something.

"That won't be a problem. Don't worry about it, if the time is right we will take care of them, but for now… I believe we have to expedite some things. Prepare the others!"

"Of course. Soon, the children of humanity come home, brother." And with that he left Cavil alone.

Number One walked through the room. He had been planning this for a long, long time and now he had a chance to do what his race should do over forty years ago; destroy the humanity. He was the oldest one among the other models, he exactly knew what Hybrid said to Six. The prophecy about the Opera House, the child and the new beginning which the seeds of two races will create. He also was the part of the destiny.

He knew the Five, they were the creators of humans' like models. The Final Five, as the Hybrid named them made him and as he had opened his eyes and had been capable of standing on his own, he helped creating the others. Soon after his brothers and sisters where in their cocoons, he neutralize the Five. Gave them the false memories and send among humans so they could see what they have done to him… to Cylons; irreparable harm. He was full of hate and bitterness on them, on their actions and on himself; on the form he had to live in. He will never change the fact who he is, but tomorrow he will get his revenge on the Five, on the humans. The Twelve Colonies will be burning as he always dreamed.
