BattleStar - Torn

I'm hoping MsGrace is having too much fun to have watched. Here's a plot synopsis:
  • Six in Baltar's head tells Baltar she's, "An angel of god sent here to help you" - sounds like the Princess ::smile:: She also tells him Cylon psychology is based on projection. They're on a beach, she looks hot of course.
  • Cylons want to know how to find Earth. If Baltar can't tell them the Cylons will kill him
  • Baltar does his thing about keeping alive, coward that he is - he might not know exactly where it is but he has studied a map for hours and has a better idea of where it is then the Cylons.
  • Cylons decided that Earth will be their new home
  • Starbuck is hot dogging during a training exercise and damages a viper. Looses her flight status.
  • Colonel Ty is drinking heavily and hearing his wife's voice in his head
  • KC runs up to Starbuck and wants to be picked up. Starbuck ignores KC and Starbuck tells KC's mom to frack off and of course it's hard on a two year old to understand this. Mom and KC leave.
  • Geata is trying to duplicate Baltar's work on finding Earth. Investigating a lions head nebula with a pulsar for an eye
  • Cylon's have dispatched a basestar to the same location based on Baltar's info.
  • Real six tells Baltar that projecting is a form of daydreaming. the Cylon can make these daydreams their reality much like what goes on in Baltar's head with six.
  • Baltar, "Am I a Cylon?" - one of the real six's asks "What did you say?" Baltar retracts the question saying, "Just thinking out loud."
  • Boomer gets a new call sign "Athena" since she's a different "Boomer"
  • Divisions are growing on the BattleStar between those who stayed on New Caprica and those that left with the BattleStars.
  • Baltar asks, "The final five who are they?" Six says they never talk about them, it's complicated, but they never talk about them
  • The basestar that was sent to the nebula "died." The baseship was infected with something. No Cylon can go there without getting infected and dying.
  • Six in Baltar's head tells Balter to volunteer. Baltar volunteers as an act of self preservation.
  • Back on the BattleStar division is growing. Colonel Ty and Starbuck are second guessing the rescue, destrying moral. Feeding the divisions among the ship.
  • There's hybrid humans, there is only one per baseship. She is the baseship. "She swims in the heavens. Maybe she does see God." Some believe the babble out of her mouth others don't. So there are Cylon differences too.
  • Baltar approaches the "dead" baseship. And starts investigating. Finds dead and dying Cylons (human form). Takes pictures.
  • There is an human made probe on the ship.
  • Baltar finds a brown hair six. He tries to help her. She wants to die. Begs him to kill her even though there's not a resurrection ship nearby (because of the potential of the infection spreading).
  • The marker/probe looks very old from the original thirteen, probably Earth. The brown hair six blames Baltar, he knew it was there wanted to infect them with this pestulance. He kills her. Baltar tells the Cylons on the uninfected baseship that he sees nothing, nothing of consequence. Deliberately not telling them about the probe.
  • Cylons are arguing on the uninfected baseship. They are blaming Baltar too. The hybrid objects to them leaving. They leave. This disease must have come from someplace. six see the probe from Baltar's pictures and says nothing.
  • Adama confronts Starbuck and Ty. Puts a round in a gun and tells them to shoot him. Starbuck is "dead" to Adama. Tells her to get off the ship or become a human being and an officer. Ty tells Adama that that man he knew over thirty years doesn't exist anymore. Both leave.
  • Starbuck goes and cuts her hair with a knife. Goes and visits KC, starts to heal. She did a remarkable job with the self-inflicted haircut :-)
  • Ty is in his room still drinking, having a tougher go of it. Not ready to heal.
  • A BattleStar scout discovers the lion's head nebula and the dead baseship. Athena channels briefly the hybrid on the dead baseship. They return to the BattleStar.
End of part one
