After ''[[Demetrius]]'' returns with the Cylon rebel leader [[ | After the ''[[Demetrius]]'' returns with the Cylon rebel leader [[Natalie]], she proposes and alliance between the rebels and the Colonials. She offers the humans the chance to destroy the Cylon's central [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrection]] facility. In return she want help to unbox [[Number Three]] and learn what she knows about the [[Final Five]]. In preparation, half of ''[[Galactica]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s air wing is transferred to the basestar. However, before the plan can be put into action [[Sharon Agathon]] kills Natalie. Simultaneously, [[Laura Roslin]] has the rebel [[Hybrid]] reconnected, who unexpectedly jumps the ship away ([[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]). | ||

The Hybrid is | The Hybrid is revealed to have panicked after sensing Natalie's shooting and death and jumped as a result. She follows the Hub with her jumps, still giving the combined force a chance to implement their plan. To prevent an early detection by the enemy, the [[Viper (RDM)|Vipers]] are running with their engines and electronics cold, instead being towed by [[Heavy Raider]]s piloted by [[humanoid Cylon]]s. The human pilots are initially very reluctant to fly alongside the Cylons and be so heavily dependent on them, but a [[Number Eight]] convinces them to place the same trust in her as they do in [[Sharon Agathon]]. | ||
Once the cables are cut, the Vipers attack and a [[Raptor]] flown by Lieutenant [[Eammon Pike]] disables the Hub's [[FTL]] drive with two missiles, thus stranding it. | Once the cables are cut, the Vipers attack and a [[Raptor]] flown by Lieutenant [[Eammon Pike]] disables the Hub's [[FTL]] drive with two missiles, thus stranding it. [[Karl Agathon]] and the Eight then board the Hub in a Raptor to find Number Three, who has already been unboxed by [[Cavil]] and [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]]. They find her after she has killed Cavil and forced Boomer to run and take her to the Raptor and off the Hub. Meanwhile, the rebel basestar engages the two escort basestars, but [[Gaius Baltar]] is badly wounded when two missiles strike the ship. Once Three, Agathon and Number Eight are clear of the Hub, the Vipers launch several nuclear missiles into it, destroying it and at least one of its basestar escorts ([[The Hub]]). | ||

With the Hub being vital to the functioning of all other [[Resurrection Ship|resurrection ships]] and downloading facilities, the Cylons are now truly mortal, which is welcomed by the rebels, but feared by the mainstream of Cylon society. In addition, [[ | With the Hub being vital to the functioning of all other [[Resurrection Ship|resurrection ships]] and downloading facilities, the Cylons are now truly mortal, which is welcomed by the rebels, but feared by the mainstream of Cylon society. In addition, [[D'Anna Biers]] is the only Three left, since all other copies of are consciousness were destroyed on the Hub. | ||
