The '''Armistice Station Officer''' | The '''Armistice Station Officer''' was assigned to the [[Armistice Station]], where he would represent the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]] to attempt their continuation of diplomatic relations between the exiled [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] and humans. He brings with him to the negotiation table pictures of what is likely his family, including a photo of his son, [[Boxey (RDM)|Boxey]].<ref>{{cite_book|last=Bassom|first=David|authorlink=|authorlinkurl=|coauthors=|year=2005|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]|pages=26|editor=ed.

The officer is the first member of the Colonial Fleet to see the Cylons in over 40 years when two upgraded [[Cylon Centurion]]s | The officer is the first member of the Colonial Fleet to see the Cylons in over 40 years when two upgraded [[Cylon Centurion]]s and someone that appears to be a strikingly beautiful human female arrive at the station. This female is actually a [[Humanoid Cylon|Cylon evolved to humanoid form]]. While the Centurions stand stoically at attention, the female asks the Colonial officer, "Are you alive?" After he answers in the affirmative, she tells him to prove it, and kisses him. | ||
The station shakes from a missile hit from the Cylon [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]] above the facility. Telling the officer, [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|"It has begun,"]], the Cylon grabs the Armistice Officer and forcibly kisses him, preventing his escape back to his [[Atmospheric shuttle]]. | |||
[[Fleet Headquarters]] sends a general message | [[Fleet Headquarters]] sends a general message on the status of all [[FTL]]-capable ships that are able to jump to the Armistice Station to aid the courier officer when he fails to report or return to Headquarters. Commander [[William Adama|Adama]], on receiving this message from Lieutenant [[Felix Gaeta|Gaeta]], says that the impending decommissioning ceremonies later that day would make them too busy to help ([[Miniseries]]). | ||
== Notes == | |||
*The actor portraying the officer, Ryan Robbins, underwent a significant transformation through makeup and prosthetics in order to appear older than he really was. The original script of the Miniseries called for the opening to show a young officer repeatedly visiting Armistice Station over the 40 years between the end of the Cylon War and the Attack on the Colonies, progressively aging with each visit. Multiple scenes with Robbins in various age-enhanced makeup were filmed, however all of them except the final scene where [[Number Six|Six]] makes her entrance were cut. | |||
*Actor Ryan Robbins also plays the [[New Caprica Resistance]] fighter [[Charlie Connor]] in seasons [[Season 3 (2006-07)|three]] and [[Season 4 (2008)|four]]. | |||
*In the [[Battlestar Galactica (2005 Novel)|novelization]] of the Miniseries, the officer has a name, [[Colonel Wakefield]]. However, because the novelization takes liberty in giving names to places and characters that, in many instances, have not been substantiated by or contradict later aired content, the novelization is a based in a [[Battlestar Wiki:Separate continuity|separate continuity]]. | |||
