	After Agathon downloads into the Cylon fleet to recover her child, it becomes clear that Valerii resents her, possibly out of jealousy for her connection with Hera and Agathon essentially replacing her on ''Galactica''. Valerii has been growing increasingly frustrated by her inability to make progress with the child. She also states that she is done with her past on ''Galactica'' and that the failure of New Caprica has taught her that humans and Cylons cannot coexist. When Agathon insists that Hera is suffering from a blocked intestine after she determined that her stomach was "as hard as a gourd" and must be brought to a human doctor who knows how to care for an infant, Valerii immediately suspects that it was the other's intention all along to take Hera back to ''Galactica'', although she is forced to admit that the child's belly has become "hard as a gourd". Suggesting that Cylons were never meant to have children in the first place, Valerii threatens to kill Hera but is knocked to the floor by Caprica-Six and killed by her former comrade {{TRS\|Rapture}}.

	After the [[Raider (RDM)\|Cylon Raider]]s refuse to take any offensive action for fear of harming the [[Final Five]] Cylons in the human fleet, Valerii votes in favor of lobotomizing them into effective fighters once again. This is in contradiction to the opinion of the rest of her model, breaking the stalemate between the [[Number One\|One]]s, [[Number Four\|Four]]s, and [[Number Five\|Five]]s in favor of lobotomization and the [[Number Two\|Two]]s, [[Number Six\|Six]]es, and [[Number Eight\|Eight]]s against it.

	At the same time as she is supporting the human Fleet, Valerii's underlying Cylon subroutines periodically emerge. Her Cylon programming is the cause of the sabotage of ''Galactica'''s water tanks, something she planned herself. However, her human side starts to emerge and prevents her from dying in the sabotage as [[John Cavil\|Cavil]] had wanted with Cavil bringing out her Cylon programing using an elephant statue ([[Water]], [[The Plan]]). Later, she possibly assists a copy of [[Aaron Doral]] to perform a suicide bombing by leaving a hatch open for him. The Doral copy nearly kills Commander Adama and Colonel [[Saul Tigh\|Tigh]] ([[Litmus]], [[The Plan]]).

	Valerii finds herself soaking wet, after she awakes to her human personality shortly after the bombs used to destroy ''Galactica'''s water tanks were planted. She becomes increasingly concerned and starts to question her true self. Her worry increases when she experiences a certain attachment to a captured [[Raider (RDM)\|Cylon Raider]], and is able to give insight into how it can be properly assessed and understood ("Water", "[[Six Degrees of Separation]]", "[[Flesh and Bone]]"). Her concerns are further elevated when, following the bombing by Doral, ''Galactica''{{'\|s}} [[Master-at-Arms]], Sergeant [[Hadrian]], suspects her and Chief [[Galen Tyrol]] of Cylon complicity {{TRS\|Litmus}}.

	Tyrol distances himself from Valerii after this incident, and he later ends their relationship following the arrest of Specialist [[Socinus]] (Litmus). Facing Tyrol's suspicions concerning her activities immediately before the bombing, Valerii finds herself emotionally isolated and stressed. She takes the [[Cylon detector]] test created by Dr. [[Gaius Baltar\|Baltar]], but he hides her positive test result in fear that once discovered, she might immediately retaliate and kill him {{TRS\|Flesh and Bone}}. Valerii finds short solace in Baltar's test, but deals with an anonymous accusation, when she finds the word "Cylon" written on the mirror of her locker. While its unclear, her Cylon personality believes she unconsciously wrote it to warn herself about her true nature and to stop her from continuing acts of sabotage ([[Six Degrees of Separation]], [[The Plan]]).

	Valerii and Caprica-Six are obviously successful in their attempt to change popular opinion among Cylons about the genocide on the human race. According to a [[Cavil]] model that is briefly incarcerated on board ''Galactica'', Valerii and Caprica-Six convinced a majority that "the slaughter of mankind was a mistake" which ultimately leads to an end of the occupation of the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol\|Twelve Colonies]] {{TRS\|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I}}.

	One year later, Valerii is one of the leaders of the Cylon force occupying [[New Caprica]]. But as other Cylons start to consider the occupation a failure, her influence appears to decrease quickly, most evident when she is unable to secure Henderson's release from detention or to remove her from the death list {{TRS\|Precipice}}. Their initial plan on New Caprica, "to push past the conflict that separated us from humans for so long", fails and the occupation is ended after four months {{TRS\|Exodus, Part II}}.

	Following the retreat from New Caprica, Valerii is on the same [[Basestar (RDM)\|basestar]] as Caprica-Six and Baltar, and assigned responsibility for the Cylon-human hybrid child, [[Hera Agathon]]. At a stand-off with the human [[The Fleet (RDM)\|Fleet]] at the [[algae planet]], Valerii is part of a Cylon delegation to make demands regarding the [[Eye of Jupiter]], but on board ''Galactica'', she is identified by {{callsign\|Athena}} and denied entry. During this first meeting between them, Valerii informs Agathon that her daughter, Hera, is still alive, and she suggests that Agathon will never be fully accepted among humans, because they continue to treat her as a thing {{TRS\|The Eye of Jupiter}}.

Aside from the fact that Valerii is the analogue of {{TOS\|Boomer}} from the [[Original Series]], the reason for giving her this callsign is likely due to her reputation for loud and botched landings with [[Raptor]]s ([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]], "[[Flight of the Phoenix]]", "[[Scar]]", "[[Daybreak, Part II]]").		*[[Virtual Six]] rhetorically asks [[Gaius Baltar]] in "[[Flesh and Bone]]" why he thinks that Valerii got the callsign "Boomer," implying a sexual reference.

	*Despite both being main characters for the first season of the show, with Boomer being a major character whenever she appeared after that, Boomer and Athena only actually meet four times. In their first meeting, Athena identifies Boomer preventing her from joining the negotiations and Boomer reveals that Hera is still alive, something which Athena didn't know. In their second meeting, Athena downloads into the Cylon fleet to rescue Hera and Boomer is suspicious of her intentions. Boomer threatens to kill Hera, but is instead killed by her former friend Caprica-Six. In their third meeting, Athena doesn't realize who she is at first and by the time she does it's too late and Boomer beats her up and ties her up as part of a plan to kidnap Hera. In their final meeting, Boomer gives back Hera to Athena and allows Athena to kill her.		*Despite both being main characters for the first season of the show, with Boomer being a major character whenever she appeared after that, Boomer and Athena only actually meet four times.
