Of flesh and blood

Of flesh and blood is the eighth episode of the first season of the Televised series Battlestar Galactica .

Detailed summary

The president Roslin sees a copy of Leoben Conoy – a double of the cylon that the commander Adama met on the station Anchorage – in a dream. Shortly after a copy of this cylon is captured on board the Geminon Traveller and is stopped. Adama orders first of all that Conoy is carried out, but the president decides to question him initially. Adama assigns Starbuck with this task. It goes on the vessel and carries out the interrogation where it finds Leoben “requesting” in the cell of retention. Starbuck understands quickly that the concept monotheist of cylons and their renouncement of the Pantheon of the multiple divinities venerated by the Colonial ones.

Leoben avoids the questions and uses plays, like trying to guess the name of Starbuck. When this one tries to leave, he says to him that he hid a nuclear bomb some share in the fleet and who must explode endéans the nine hours. The Colonial ones lose the initiative of the interrogation. Adama orders radiological balaiments of all the vessels; Starbuck, on its side, all that must do is necessary to obtain the site of the bomb on behalf of the prisoner, which includes torture.

Some share, Boomer-of the '' Galactica '' continues to think that it could be an agent cylon, and thus will require of the Doctor Baltar to test it with its prototype of detector cylon. It fails the test (revealing by là-même that it is a cylon), but Baltar, frightened by the declaration of its Numéro Six intern as what to break the cover of Boomer will activate its programming cylonne, lies to Boomer in connection with the results, fearing that it does not kill it if he tells him the truth.

On Caprica, Helo and Boomer-of-Caprica continues to flee cylons them. Without the knowledge of Helo, Boomer is then really fleeing with him after having disobeyed the orders of the others cylons to lead it to them.

In the fleet, the president Laura Roslin, incited by Nightmare S with repetition, decides to speak with the cylon itself and arrives on the Gemenon Traveller . She stops torture and presents her excuses for the hard treatment inflicted by Starbuck. Leoben then makes some predictions surprising on the future of the fleet. He declares that fleet will find planet legendary of Kobol (the “lost” planet from where humanity comes at the origin), then admits to have lied in connection with the bomb. Suddenly, it catches Roslin and murmurs to him with the ear that Adama (without specifying which of both of the father or the son) is an agent cylon. Roslin becomes pale by hearing that and the guards draw aside Leoben of the president. By dislike, Roslin orders that it is ejected in space, saying that the fleet cannot keep a machine to be killed like that one in life. Whereas the hopper evacuates the air in space, it looks at Roslin through a window, then is aspired far from it, exactly as at the time of a dream that Roslin had had before.

A little later Starbuck requests for the heart of the lost cylon, even if it is not certain that it has one of them.
