The '''[[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]'s copy of the Number Three''' model, known as "D'Anna Biers, | The '''[[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]'s copy of the Number Three''' model, known as "D'Anna Biers", poses as a reporter for the [[Fleet News Service]]. She appears to be more of a tabloid rumor-and-innuendo format news journalist and less of the conventional Fleet journalist types such as [[James McManus]]. | ||
When first introduced, Biers is investigating the shootings of four civilians during a military intervention authorized by Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] in what she dubs for sensationalism's sake as the "[[Gideon]] massacre". However, her efforts to interview ''{{RDM|Galactica}}''{{'|s}} crew are thwarted by military protocol and stonewalling by Commander [[William Adama|Adama]], who privately acknowledges Tigh's mistakes, but seems adamant not to render any punishment. | When first introduced, Biers is investigating the shootings of four civilians during a military intervention authorized by Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]] in what she dubs for sensationalism's sake as the "[[Gideon]] massacre".

Biers is initially given a tour of the battlestar by [[Anastasia Dualla]], but finds the nuts-and-bolts technology and layout information boring. She and her photographer, [[Bell]], prefer to record and interview the candid moments of ''Galactica''{{'|s}} crew, going so far as intruding into the private areas of the pilots. She begins in-depth personal interviews with many of the crew, including Dualla, Lieutenants [[Felix Gaeta|Gaeta]], [[Margaret Edmondson]], | Biers is initially given a tour of the battlestar by [[Anastasia Dualla]], but finds the nuts-and-bolts technology and layout information boring.

Of all the interviews, she desperately wants to ask Tigh many questions on his decisions in the ''Gideon'' incident, even exploiting his weaknesses when trying to loosen him up with alcohol. | ||
Biers appears to be in the right place at the wrong times throughout her documentary filming. She captures the growing behavioral problems with Lieutenant [[Louanne Katraine]], and the sabotage to a [[Raptor]] that was intended to shuttle Colonel Tigh to ''[[Cloud | Biers appears to be in the right place at the wrong times throughout her documentary filming.

As Biers passes through [[sickbay]] during her documentary, she find [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon Valerii]] to be alive and receiving medical treatment. The existence of this second copy of the known [[Humanoid Cylon|Cylon infiltrator]], who was thought to be dead by members of the Fleet, is too much for Biers not to document. However, Commander Adama intercepts Biers and demands that she gives him the footage of Valerii. She surrenders a tape to Adama, but unknown to him, Biers retains the actual footage of Valerii in secret for herself. | As Biers passes through [[sickbay]] during her documentary, she find [[Sharon Agathon|Sharon Valerii]] to be alive and receiving medical treatment.

The Cylons use two Raiders to relay the broadcast (which apparently included Bier's illicit footage of the pregnant Valerii) back to Caprica, where a number of Cylons watch it in a movie theater.
