| [[Gaius Baltar]], investigating the craft, discovers that the Returners are Cylon constructs of a sort. The beings are clones implanted with memories of the dead, used by the Cylons to study human nature in preparation for the creation of the twelve humanoid Cylon models. [[Billy Keikeya]], pouring through available records, confirms that every one of the Returners were people who died while in some kind of flight, and were not on the ground or in a building at the time of their death {{comics|Battlestar Galactica|3}}. | |

| The concept of the deceased returning occurs in the main continuity as the fleet encounters a miraculously alive [[Kara Thrace]] {{TRS|He That Believeth in Me}}. Considering the issue, Lee Adama muses about what would happen if Zak returned in a similar fashion, and Starbuck herself considers the possibility that she is a Cylon construct similar to that described above.
