The '''Lion's Head beacon''' is found by the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] as they pursue a probable course to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] from the [[Lion's Head Nebula]], as researched by their captive, [[Gaius Baltar]]. | The '''Lion's Head beacon''' is found by the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] as they pursue a probable course to [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] from the [[Lion's Head Nebula]], as researched by their captive, [[Gaius Baltar]]. | ||

When the basestar's crew discover that infection might spread into their community via their [[Resurrection (RDM)|resurrection process]], they immediately quarantine their [[Resurrection Ship]] to prevent the reception of any transmitted consciousnesses from the dying basestar.
