scans_dailyHe rebuilt a Centurion, because his ego was provoked.
He unveiled it to the Fleet.
He brought it online, and it took a knee.. before Sharon Valerii (not the one who was Boomer, but the one who would later be Athena), the tolerated Cylon prisoner.
Everyone military pulled their guns on the Centurion.
Baltar tried to convince it to stand down. It didn't respond.
Commander Adama ordered his men to take Sharon back to the brig. The Centurion responded to that, stepping in front of her.
Baltar triggered the device on his wrist. The Centurion reeled.
(Tallos is a mythological figure analogous to Talos, because all of this has happened before and all of this will happen again.)
The Centurion got an opportunity to give them trouble, with a DRADIS sighting- an old Colonial ship, suddenly caught in the gravitational pull of a nearby planetoid the Colonial fleet was trying to mine for resources.
It hitting that planetoid would be no good- it was radioactive.
So Adama called on Baltar to get Tallos to safely blow the ship up.
It seemed like Tallos would detonate the derelict's complement of nukes, or use it to FTL its way to other Cylons.
He didn't.
Biers' profile included an interview with Baltar.
The discussion turned to his kill switch- she asked what would happen if Tallos " decided to- or was somehow commanded to- "
(Baltar's expression of his ego here's interesting- it's certainly not out of character overall for him, but it also seems too together, too confident for him at any point after he betrayed humanity to the Cylons.
Perhaps he has his ups and his downs.)
(Cavil and Biers were there in the series, and a brown-haired Six Cylon model hiding out in the fleet is believable, but an uncaught Doral? Guy's gotta be livin' in the bulkheads or something.
Oh yeah- writing's Karl Kesel, art on these pages' Alec Morgan.)
