	This copy arrives on ~~the~~ ''[[Demetrius]]'' proposing an alliance between [[Natalie]]'s rebel faction in the [[Cylon Civil War]] and the humans. He also plays his usual mind games, telling Kara Thrace that he can see that she has a single purpose, and that he sees an angel of God in her. He also interacts with Samuel Anders, telling him to work out his relationship with Thrace if he hasn't done so already. He refers to Anders' destiny and "singular moment of clarity" though he is unaware of the fact that Anders is one of the [[Final Five]] that his faction is searching for. He later brings Thrace and a small group in a Raptor to the [[Rebel basestar]] where he insists on taking Thrace to see the [[Hybrid]] despite resistance from [[Natalie Faust]]. He witnesses the Hybrid's message to Thrace and helps decipher it {{TRS\|The Road Less Traveled\|Faith}}.

	[[Cavil]] ordered Leoben to hack into the military's communications and also try to find a way to contact a basestar next time they're near one. It's unknown if he ever managed to find a way to contact a basestar, but he managed to hack into the military's com and became somewhat obsessed with ~~[[Kara Thrace]]~~ as a result of hearing her voice. After being forced on the run ~~after~~ two men he ~~pass recignize~~ him from a picture two marines are showing around of ~~him~~ and Doral, Leoben paints the mandala on a wall of the ship. He also starts to believe that ~~Starbuck~~ has a greater destiny after learning of her ~~learning by herself how~~ to fly ~~the~~ captured Cylon Raider. Leoben says she must've pulled the knowledge out of "the stream" ~~(what he means is unclear), but the~~ marines ~~catch up with him and arrest him~~ while ~~he's~~ distracted by his conversation with Cavil, who hides {{TRS\|The Plan}}.

During his conversation with Cavil, Leoben says she must've pulled the knowledge out of "the stream," before his rapid apprehension by marines while distracted by his conversation with Cavil, who hides {{TRS\|The Plan}}.

	Knowing the Leoben model's ability to weave fact, fiction and outright lies into a confusing fabric of truth, half-truths and deceit, Adama wants the copy destroyed. However, he is overruled by President [[Laura Roslin\|Roslin]], who demands the model be interrogated.		Knowing the Leoben model's ability to weave fact, fiction and outright lies into a confusing fabric of truth, half-truths and deceit, Commander [[William Adama]] wants the copy destroyed. However, he is overruled by President [[Laura Roslin\|Roslin]], who demands the model be interrogated.

	[[Kara Thrace]] is assigned to interrogate Conoy aboard ~~the~~ ''Gemenon Traveler''. Over the course of eight hours, Conoy demonstrates his ability to confuse and mix truth with lies: he claims to have planted a nuclear device somewhere in the fleet, but will not reveal where. He also mixes what appears to be religious ~~mumbo-jumbo~~ with penetrating insights into Colonial philosophy and Thrace's own past. While she resorts to ever-more drastic measures to obtain details on the alleged bomb's location, Thrace finds herself being drawn into Conoy's vision of life. So much so that when Roslin orders his execution, Thrace very much empathizes with him.		[[Kara Thrace]] is assigned to interrogate Conoy aboard ''Gemenon Traveler''.

He also mixes what appears to be religious parlance with penetrating insights into Colonial philosophy and [[Socrata Thrace\|Thrace's own past]]. While she resorts to ever-more drastic measures to obtain details on the alleged bomb's location, Thrace finds herself being drawn into Conoy's vision of life. So much so that when Roslin orders his execution, Thrace very much empathizes with him {{TRS\|Flesh and Bone}}.

	When he grabs ~~Starbuck~~ by the throat during her ~~interogation~~ of him, he suddenly has a vision of them together on New Caprica with ~~Casey~~, her interactions with the Virtual Leoben and her death which is presumably ~~what causes him to pursue her so much later to help her~~ complete her destiny {{TRS\|The Plan}}.		When he grabs Thrace by the throat during her interrogation of him (TRS: "Flesh and Bone"), he suddenly has a vision of them together on [[New Caprica]] with [[Kacey Brynn]], her interactions with the [[Virtual Leoben]] and her death, which presumably spur his investment into helping [[The Destiny\|complete her destiny]] {{TRS\|The Plan}}.

	Prior to his death, Conoy reveals there is no bomb, and uses a reason suggested by Thrace in the initial stages of his interrogation: that since he is so far from other Cylon centers of influence, he cannot transmit his "soul" back to home should his body die. However, his true colors are revealed when President Roslin arrives aboard the ship and he manages to whisper to her that Adama is a Cylon — thus planting a seed of doubt between her and Adama. <ref>While it is most likely that Conoy is simply lying in order to confuse Roslin and seed distrust among the humans, there is a slight possibility he is referring to [[Tamara Adama]]. Moreover, if William Adama were a member of the [[Final Five]] Cylons (which he isn't), Leoben should not know this.</ref> Convinced now of the danger in keeping Conoy alive, Roslin orders him ejected from ~~the~~ ''Gemenon Traveler'''s [[airlock]].

	Interestingly, Roslin had a premonition of Conoy's surfacing in the Fleet — she had a dream about him at the same time he is captured. Later, in her cabin on ''[[Colonial One]]'', she has a vision of him talking to her which prompts her decision to visit him in person — thus allowing him to complete his mission.

	At the time of the dream and the vision, Roslin assumes that both are the result of her using [[chamalla]] to treat her cancer. ~~However, both may have been the result of some form of psychic ability on the part of Conoy or Roslin.~~ One last such incident is the correct foretelling by Conoy that the Fleet would eventually find the legendary homeworld of {{RDM\|Kobol}}, home of the Gods and birthplace of mankind, although he might have simply extrapolated that from the Fleet's course {{TRS\|Flesh and Bone}}.
