Tstimp: /* Added cylon information */ new section

== List of people ==

Would it be any helpful if there was a list made for the people whose pictures can be found* in this hallway. *(Seen on-screen)
[[Louanne Katraine|Kat]] and [[Kara Thrace|Kara]] are already mentioned, but [[Adrien Bauer]], [[Tucker Clellan|Duck]] and [[Nora]] aren't. [[User:DrWho42|DrWho42]] 10:58, 5 May 2007 (CDT)
:It may not be a bad idea, but citing where each picture is found as well as confirming the identities will be difficult. I think the article cites the only photos of known characters to date, anyway, but I could be wrong. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 22:02, 5 May 2007 (CDT)

== Added cylon information ==

I just added a list of the images of dead Cylons that were revealed to have been added a few episodes back. I thought it was really cool to see an image of Natalie placed up there.

}}

'''Natalie''' is a [[Number Six]] copy who leads a rebel faction advocating the search for the [[Final Five]] Cylons, believing that they have answers about the Cylons' origins and their place in the universe.

After the [[Raider (RDM)|Raiders]] abort the [[Battle of the Ionian Nebula]] Natalie, a [[Number Two]] and a [[Number Eight]] approach [[Number One|Cavil]] with the suggestion, that the Final Five are with the humans in the [[The Fleet (RDM)|refugee fleet]]. This is fully declined by Cavil. He suggests that only the Raiders are a problem, because they extended their original programming and now violate their orders to fight the refugee fleet.

The faction led by Natalie loses a majority vote to prevent dumbing down the Raiders by removing some of their free will through a surgical procedure. Natalie is further dismayed that [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] voted against her model to side with Cavil, thus further endangering the tenuous balance of the Cylon decision making process.

After a last attempt to stop the Raiders' lobotomization, she orders two [[Centurion (RDM)|Centurions]] into the conference room and reports to the attendant Number One, [[Number Four]] and [[Number Five]] copies that her faction removed the [[telencephalic inhibitor]]s, which prevent the Centurions from using their higher cognitive functions. The Centurions open fire and kill everyone supporting Number One ([[Six of One]]).

Natalie and two Number Eights meet with the resurrected Cavil to discuss the terms of ending the conflict. Cavil agrees to stop lobotomizing Raiders and to air Natalie's proposal to unbox the [[Number Three|Number Three]] line before his compatriots. Later, Cavil informs Natalie's faction that their terms have been agreed to, and the fleet will jump to the nearest server to learn what the resurrected Threes know about the Final Five. This turns out to be a trap. The [[Resurrection Ship|Resurrection Ship]] does not jump to the rendezvous point, and Cavil's baseships open fire on Natalie's fleet, inflicting heavy damage ([[The Ties That Bind]]), with Natalie's basestar being the only surviving ship from this engagement, however the ship's [[FTL]] drive is damaged beyond repair ("[[The Road Less Traveled]]", "[[Faith]]").

When Conoy returns with [[Kara Thrace]], [[Sharon Agathon]], [[Samuel Anders]] and [[Jean Barolay]], Natalie is reluctant to take Thrace to the [[Hybrid]], but ultimately agrees as they need the Colonials' help. When a Six—who had been drowned by Barolay on [[New Caprica]] and suffered resulting emotional trauma, despite aid from Natalie after the Six's resurrection—kills Barolay, Natalie kills the Six to appease the Colonials need for "justice", thus defusing a potentially explosive situation; the Six herself cannot resurrect, as the Resurrection Ship is still out of range.

Later, Natalie overhears the [[Hybrid utterances#Dying Hybrid|Hybrid's message]] to Thrace and she is further convinced that the Threes must be unboxed, for the Hybrid claims that she alone knows the faces of the Final Five. After helping comfort a mortally wounded Eight, she leaves the Hybrid chamber to execute the jump, thus allowing her basestar to meet up with the ''Demetrius'' ([[Faith]]).

Upon returning to the Fleet with the ''Demetrius'', she speaks with Admiral Adama and President Roslin to explain the events and goals of the Cylon rebellion and to garner support by the Colonials to find the Final Five. She also reveals information about the Cylon [[Resurrection Hub]] and its significance, as well as the reason for the withdrawal at the [[Ionian nebula]]. Afterward, she returns to the her basestar and expresses her fear that the humans will not allow them to have the Final Five and go their own way to a Two and an Eight and proposes that they take hostage as insurance after destroying the hub.

After speaking to the [[Quorum of Twelve (RDM)|Quorum of Twelve]] to assuage their fears about the alliance, she reflects on her experience on ''[[Colonial One]]'' and feels remorse for their deception to the humans, compelled to tell the humans the truth to rectify the situation. The other Cylons protest and send her to speak with Adama to stall for time as the Two works to stop the Centurions from taking hostages as planned. When she arrives on ''Galactica'', she encounters [[Hera Agathon|Hera]] in a corridor. Sharon Agathon, distressed over the visions she has been having and Hera's recent obsession with the Sixes, shoots Natalie out of fear that she will take her child away ([[Guess What's Coming to Dinner?]]).

She is taken to ''Galactica''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s infirmary where Doctor [[Cottle]] tries to save her life. During that time, she [[projection|projects]] herself into a sunny forest. However, she succumbs to her wounds and dies with Cottle holding her hand. Her last sight is of Cottle's masked face fading into white. With no Resurrection Ship nearby and the Resurrection Hub destroyed soon after, her death was permanent ([[Sine Qua Non]]).

A couple of weeks later, a couple of Cylons visit the [[Memorial hallway]] aboard Galactica, and an image of Natalie can be seen among several other images of fallen Cylons.

== Notes ==

*The name "Natalie" stems from the Latin ''natalis'' (birthday), which could be a hint that she plays a significant role in the evolution of the Cylon culture.
*Similar to [[Gina|Gina]] prior to "[[Razor|Razor]]", Natalie was first named in interviews. On screen her name is only mentioned after in the episode "[[The Hub]]", after her death.
*Exactly why she carries the name Natalie has yet to be revealed. In the past, names given to humanoid Cylons have been used in infiltration missions (i.e. Gina, [[Cavil]], etc.), which suggests this Six must have been involved in such an endeavour and used the name Natalie.

Memorial hallway

2009-03-01T19:11:34Z

Tstimp:

[[Image:Memorialhall1.jpg|right|thumb|[[Dualla]] as she enters the memorial hallway.]]
[[Image:Maelstrom memorial hallway.jpg|thumb|right|Lee Adama and Kara Thrace in the hallway ([[Maelstrom]]).]]

The '''memorial hallway'''<ref>{{bsgwiki term}}</ref> was created by the crew of ''[[Galactica]]'' to aid the [[The Fleet (RDM)|survivors of humanity]] to find any loved ones who may have been rescued from the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon destruction of the Colonies]] and were lucky to find themselves on one of the many ships in the battlestar's care.

Five days after the Fleet's [[Battle of Ragnar Anchorage|escape from Ragnar]], Specialist [[Socinus]] and other crew are gathering a [[Fleet registry|record of surviving colonists]] for the new [[Government of the Twelve Colonies|Colonial government]], but cannot upload photos to the database (or possibly to other ships) at that moment. When [[Anastasia Dualla]] offers her photos to Socinus, he suggests to leave the photo with his group or to place it outside in one of ''Galactica's'' hallways. Opting for the latter, Dualla encounters hundreds of photos, newspaper clippings, drawings, and other mementos of loved ones presumed lost or missing in the new Cylon war ([[33]]).<ref>It is not known how, cinematically, the wall was created, but a popular guess is that the many photos are the anonymous contributions of the show's cast and crew.</ref>

Despite the Fleet registry's completion, the memorial has remained and is periodically updated and visited by many as a personal shrine. Crewmembers can often been seen praying there, lighting candles and mourning the dead.

[[Louanne Katraine]] adds a picture of [[Reilly]]'s [[Reilly's girlfriend|girlfriend]] to the hallway in hopes that she will not be forgotten as quickly as the pilot ([[Scar]]). Over a year later, [[Kara Thrace]] adds Katraine's photo to the wall beneath Katraine's addition, after Katraine succumbs to radiation poisoning ([[The Passage]]). Following a promise made by [[Lee Adama]] to Kara Thrace prior to her death ([[Maelstrom]]), he places a photo of her on the wall, near Katraine's photo ([[The Son Also Rises]]).

Since joining the fleet, Rebel Cylons have also been witnessed placing images and pictures of fallen comrades since joining the fleet. Most notably on the wall are an image of [[Natalie]], as well as images of two unanamed Eights, a Six and a Two. At least one of the images seems to be a Colonial Identification card.

In addition to the memorial hallway, the Viper pilots on ''Galactica'' have a [[Lest We Forget|special picture in their ready room]] that they touch as they exit as a memorial to other fallen comrades ([[33]]).

==Notes==
*The storyline of the [[Re-imagined Series]] was heavily influenced by the tone of the [[w:September 11, 2001|2001 terrorist attacks in New York]].
**In the early days of this event, fences and sign posts in the area around the site of the attacks were covered by pictures of missing people by the citizens to ask help in finding their loved ones. As the rescue attempts at "Ground Zero" turned into recovery efforts, these many signs became makeshift memorials. The ''Galactica'' memorial hallway was apparently intended as an poignant allegory to these tributes.
**The terrorist attacks not only influenced the series, but created delays that led to the premature demise of [[SDS|an earlier planned ''Battlestar Galactica'' continuation]] in preproduction that same year.
*Similar memorials are created after many large catastrophes in the world, such as the [[w:2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|2004 Indian Ocean tsunami]].

Number Six

2009-03-01T19:06:58Z

Tstimp:

{{Character Data
|photo=Number Six.jpg
|seen= Miniseries
|role= Cylon Infiltrator, Overseer
|actor= [[Tricia Helfer]]
|cylon= y
|name= Shelly Godfrey<br/>Gina Inviere<br/>Natalie<br>Lida<br>Sonja<br>''et al.''
}}

"'''Number Six'''" is a [[humanoid Cylon]] who plays several key roles in [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] society. She is the first humanoid Cylon]that viewers witness in the re-imagined ''Battlestar Galactica''. Stunningly beautiful, sensual and highly religious this highly driven model is marked by a ruthlessness against all who stand in her way.

To date, more unique versions of the Six model have been witnessed than any other humanoid Cylon. Besides the use of numerous aliases, Six is also the only Cylon model known to have varied appearances and personalities: while most often seen as a platinum blonde, Six has also been seen with honey blonde and black hair, and displaying personalities ranging from overtly sensual to wide-eyed and innocent, and from blindly supporting the attack on the Colonies to desiring peaceful coexistence. This differs from the other known models who display generally the same personality traits ([[Sharon Valerii]] and [[Sharon Agathon]] being exceptions) and look identical.

== Caprica-Six ==

{{mainarticle|Caprica-Six}}

The copy of Number Six that seduced Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] into unwittingly betraying the Twelve Colonies by giving her access to the Colonial defense mainframe. Much later, she came to live on ''Galactica'' and fell in love with [[Saul Tigh]].

=== Baltar's Internal Six ===

{{mainarticle|Virtual beings}}

Fleeing Caprica City and then the planet itself, Baltar is shocked to discover that the woman he had a relationship with on Caprica lives on - inside his head. The nature and loyalties of this being are unknown; although she resembles Number Six, it is not yet known if she has any actual connection to the line.

== Shelly Godfrey ==

[[Image:Bsg-1-07.jpg|thumb|right|Godfrey attempts to sweet talk Adama.]] {{mainarticle|Shelly Godfrey}}

A copy of Number Six that appears on board ''Galactica'' to try to discredit Baltar as a traitor, using evidence which was flawed, so that he ended up being more popular than before.
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

== Gina Inviere ==

{{mainarticle|Gina Inviere}}

A copy of Number Six posing as a systems analyst assigned aboard the battlestar ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'', entering into a romantic relationship with Admiral [[Helena Cain]]. After she was identified, she was captured and repeatedly tortured and sexually abused by the crew before escaping with Baltar's help. Emerging as a leading figure in the [[Demand Peace]] movement, she commits suicide by detonating a nuclear warhead aboard ''[[Cloud 9]]''.

== Natalie ==

{{mainarticle|Natalie}}

A Number Six copy who is leading a faction that advocates for the search for the Final Five Cylons, introduced in "[[Six of One]]". She is eventually killed by [[Sharon Agathon]], distressed with visions of the [[Opera House]] and afraid Natalie will take her daughter [[Hera Agathon|Hera]], with no chance to download ([[Sine Qua Non]]).

== Lida ==

[[Image:Lida.jpg|thumb|Lida with Gaius Baltar.]]
A Six with curly honey blonde hair and a noticeably more innocent disposition than her sisters, Lida<ref>Episode writer Michael Angeli quoted in "The Watcher: Talking about 'Battlestar Galactica's' 'Blood on the Scales' with writer Michael Angeli", Maureen Ryan, ''Chicago Tribune'', Feb. 6, 2009.</ref><ref>Tricia Helfer also identified this version of Six as Lida in her February 13, 2009 appearance on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live''.</ref> attempts to comfort and seduce Baltar aboard the rebel Basestar after he and [[Laura Roslin|President Roslin]] flee ''Galactica'' during the Zarek-Gaeta coup/mutiny. In her bed, Lida missinterprets Gaius' feelings of guilt (among the first he's ever shown) for leaving his flock behind as an injury. Gaius notices that she does not refer to injury as "damage" like other Cylons he has encountered. ("[[Blood on the Scales]]").
{{clear}}

== Sonja ==

Sonja is one of the platinum blonde Sixes, similar in appearance to Caprica/Virtual Six. She is elected to represent the rebel Cylons in the Fleet's new Quorum. Her first duty is to request the Cylons be given custody of [[Sharon Valerii]] in order to put her on trial for treason. Given her new posistion, the Colonials have accepted at least part of the deal the Cylons made through Tyrol and now have the representation they wanted in the Colonial Government. ("[[Someone to Watch Over Me]]")

== Other copies ==

=== Armistice Station Copy ===

[[Image:SixArmstation2 Mini.JPG|thumb|A six entering the [[Armistice Station]].]]

This Number Six is a portent of doom for the peoples of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]]; she arrives on [[Armistice Station]] shortly before it is destroyed in what are the opening shots of the [[Cylon attack]] in the [[Miniseries]]. Dressed in a long-sleeved red tunic and matching knee-length skirt, she is the first and last "diplomat" ever sent to the station by the Cylons since its construction. She greets the Colonial officer present with the question "Are you alive?" When he answers that he is alive, she tells him to prove it - by kissing her. After he realizes that Armistice is under attack, she smiles and forces another kiss on him shortly before they are both destroyed.

Later, three Sixes in the same outfit are among the group of Cylons that rescue and debrief [[Number Five|Aaron Doral]], following his stranding on [[Ragnar Anchorage]] by the suspicious Colonials. One of them responds to a comment of the [[Number Eight|Eight]] in the group with "[[By your command]]," a trademark Cylon phrase in the [[Original Series]].

It's possible that Caprica-Six may be one of the Sixes who rescues Doral, as she would have had time to be downloaded; however, the chronology of events in [[Downloaded]] make this extremely unlikely. It is far more likely that the Armistice Station copy might have been one of them.
{{clear}}

=== Troop Leaders ===

[[Image:Whiterainsix 33.JPG|thumb|left|150px|A Six after seeing an Eight killing another Six model.]]

At least three additional variants of Six have been operational on Caprica, and appear to lead [[Cylon Centurion|Centurion]] squads and have a subservient role to the "overseer" Six variants. This variant of Six is distinguished by the white raincoat she wears.

One of these variants distracts Helo, enabling him to be captured. In this, she shares the same seductive characteristic as shown by her "sisters" at the armistice station and with Baltar - her first act on "freeing" the captured Agathon is to ask "Are you alive?" and kiss him. She is subsequently shot by the [[Sharon Agathon|Caprica copy of Sharon Valerii]] ([[33]]).

The second acts as an observer to Helo's "escape", and this same variant may the one leading the Centurion troops into the Caprican farm Helo and Valerii are hiding in ([[The Hand of God (RDM)|The Hand of God]]).

The third is present at [[Delphi]], taking orders from an "overseer" Six ([[Colonial Day]]).

Another Number Six in this role boards ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' from a [[Heavy Raider]] along with a group of Centurions during ''Pegasus'''s [[Battle of the Communications Relay|attack]] on a Cylon communications relay. She is shot and killed by [[Kendra Shaw]], who then exposes the ''Pegasus'' network administrator [[Gina Inviere]] as another copy of this Cylon model ([[Razor]]).
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

=== Overseer Copies ===

[[Image:Sixsharonlitmus.jpg|thumb|Number Six beating up Sharon Valerii on Caprica.<ref>Note that this is a behind-the-scenes photo, as indicated by the crane in the far background of this shot.</ref>]]

On Caprica, Six performs the role of a Cylon overseer, working with a copy of [[Number Five]] (Aaron Doral) to ensure their experiment involving the stranded [[Karl Agathon]] and the Caprica copy of Sharon Valerii either reaches its desired conclusion, or is suitably terminated ("[[Bastille Day]]", "[[Act of Contrition]]", "[[Litmus]]", "[[Flesh and Bone]]", "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]"). These copies of Number Six wear a militaristic black outfit, with a black body-suit underneath suited to martial arts.

Following the destruction of a "troop leader" Six (shot by the Caprica Valerii, in order to enable her to "rescue" Agathon), her "sister" on Caprica demonstrates a certain vindictiveness towards Valerii when giving her a beating that goes far beyond the needs of the experiment ([[Litmus]]), thus revealing she may well be experiencing resentment for being shot (remembering that experiences and knowledge are passed from body to body among the various types of humanoid Cylons), as well as jealousy at the Caprica Valerii's chosen role in the proceedings.

A further "overseer" Six is present at the Cylon's established base at [[Delphi]], and is briefly seen by [[Karl Agathon]] when he attempts to gain access to the base in order to steal a ship and get off the planet ([[Colonial Day]]).

Another Six surprises [[Kara Thrace]] in the [[Delphi Museum]] when she returns to Caprica to retrieve the [[Arrow of Apollo]]. They engage in an all-out brawl, and just as Six appears to be winning Thrace rushes her, knocking both of them off of a ledge. The Six falls underneath Thrace, breaking her fall, and is impaled on building debris, killing her ([[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II]]).

Another "overseer" Six is present at the "farm" where Thrace is taken after she is founded by the Cylons and left behind the resistance. While the Cylon doctor [[Number Four|Simon]] operates on her, Six is there to relay orders and see that everything was proceeding smoothly. She is definitely the controlling figure of the operation. This copy is later bashed over the head with a fire extinguisher by Thrace as she makes her escape ([[The Farm]]). (Note: a deleted scene from this episode shows a second Six at the farm, taking instructions from the other copy.)

Yet another overseer, or possibly one of the previously witnessed copies, viewes [[Number Three|D'Anna Biers]]'s broadcast in a theater on Cylon-occupied Caprica in the episode "[[Final Cut]]". She remarks that the resilience displayed by the Colonials is impressive, and seems overjoyed that Sharon's hybrid baby survived.

=== "Downloaded" ===

A Number Six in a gold tunic is one of four 'rebirth nurses' who greets the reincarnated [[Caprica-Six]] (this takes place shortly after the [[Cylon attack]] has run its course), and it is likely this same group who nurse [[Sharon Valerii|Boomer]] as she returns to life several months later. The Six in the group welcomes Boomer home and refers to her as "little sister".

Several other copies of Six were seen on Caprica in a variety of different outfits, which could indicate different functions or simply fashion choices.

=== New Caprica Copies ===

[[Image:Sixes NC.jpg|thumb|left|Two Six copies aboard ''[[Colonial One]]''.]]

Various copies of Number Six form part of the Cylon occupation force that arrives on [[New Caprica]] one year after the Colonials settle in there. Throughout their four months stay there, they fall victim to various different attacks from the [[New Caprica Resistance|resistance movement]].

When the resistance begins using suicide bombers, the Cylons decide to employ stronger measures against the human population. A vote is taken by six of the seven Cylon models on ''Colonial One'', and while Caprica-Six disagrees with this, two other copies overrule her. This implies that Caprica-Six no longer has the same amount of power she used to have, not even with those of her own model ([[Precipice]]).

Another Six is drowned by [[Jean Barolay]] after taping her mouth and throwing her into a septic tank at New Caprica's water treatment plant, where she works during the occupation. Despite attempts at therapy after her resurrection, this Six bears lasting emotional trauma as a result. Roughly a year later, she is on the rebel baseship and meets up with her murderer. A brief altercation at the Raptor occurs, where she kills Barolay who shows no remorse for her actions, instead glibly offering to kill the Six again. Natalie kills this copy immediately after Barolay's murder, thus appeasing the Colonials they have allied themselves with. Just before her execution, the Six—knowing that her actions cannot be without consequences—admits that she is glad that Natalie, whom she views as a sister, will be the one to kill her permanently, as with no Resurrection Ship she is unable to download into a new body ([[Faith]]).

=== Rebel Copies ===

The Sixes vote along with the [[Number Two]]s and the majority of [[Number Eight]]s to stop the lobotomization of the [[Raider (RDM)|Raider]]s ([[Six of One]]). Several Sixes are members of the Cylon rebels. This includes Natalie and the Six who kills [[Jean Barolay]]. The latter one is distraught about her actions, and is subsequently killed by Natalie with Anders's sidearm ([[Faith]]).

Moreover, a number of them are Heavy Raider pilots alongside a number of Eights and these Sixes fly in battle alongside the Colonial Viper pilots in the battle to destroy the Resurrection Hub. They tow the Vipers into battle, allowing them to launch a surprise attack and fight alongside them against the enemy Raiders ([[The Hub]]).

Since [[Gaeta's Mutiny]] at least, some of the Cylons have joined in CAP and are even briefed by Starbuck in the briefing room. They also seemingly flying missions with Colonial pilots. An example of this is a Six copy who flew to intercept Boomer's raptor, and identified over the radio that it was being flown by an Eight. Some are also seen applying the organic resin to ''Galactica'' and walking freely about its halls, and even participating in the human ritual of posting photographs of lost colleagues in the [[Memorial hallway]].

=== Infected Basestar Copies ===

During a mission to investigate a disabled base star, [[Gaius Baltar]] sees a number of Cylons, including Sixes, dead or dying from an infectious agent. One of these is a Number Six with black hair, who Baltar kills ([[Torn]]). Later, a Six is found in an infected baseship by ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'', and becomes a part of their plan to infect the Cylon race with the virus spawned from an ancient [[Lion's Head beacon|probe]]. However, she and the other Cylons are killed by Karl Agathon before they are within download range of a Resurrection Ship, thereby killing this Six permanently ([[A Measure of Salvation]]).

== Notes ==

*The name "Number Six" is, according to ''[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]'', an indirect tribute to [[:wikipedia:Patrick McGoohan|Patrick McGoohan]]'s cult 1967 television series ''[[:wikipedia:The Prisoner|The Prisoner]]'' — a series that addressed topics such as personal freedom and identity, mind control, illusionary experiences and the infiltration of society's supposed guardians (secret agents) by a nefarious force (those behind The Village). Ron Moore himself later confirmed in his blog that the name is an homage to ''The Prisoner''. After many false starts, ''The Prisoner'', like ''Battlestar Galactica'', became the subject of a radical reimaging in 2008 when the American AMC and UK Granada networks announced plans to film a new version of the series, with [[w:James Caviezel|James Caviezel]] in the role of No. 6; now completed, it is scheduled to air in late 2009.
*Also according to ''Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion'', [[Edward James Olmos]] and [[Mary McDonnell]] were hand-picked for their roles, while the rest of the characters were cast by audition: among the actresses in the running for the role of "Number Six" was ''The O.C.'''s [[:wikipedia:Melinda Clarke|Melinda Clarke]], though the role ultimately went to [[Tricia Helfer]].
*One of the main characters in the Philip K. Dick novel ''Flow My Tears the Policeman Said'' is the result of a eugenics experiment. All of the products of this experiment refer to themselves as "sixes" and look down on "normals." Their characteristic traits include great physical attractiveness, sexual promiscuity, superhuman strength, magnetic charisma and a propensity to control others which led to a coup attempt.
*The Sixes seem to take on a leadership role with the Rebel Cylons. The first leader of the Rebels was Natalie, a Six, before Sharon Agathon killed her. Later, another Six, Sonja, is elected as the Rebel's representative on the new Quorum.

Talk:Dreilide Thrace/Archive 1

2009-03-01T19:00:25Z

Tstimp: /* Slick as a Virtual being? */ new section

While I am new to the WIKI, I have been a fan of the show from day one. It seems with this most recent episode, the dots are being connected. Has anyone theorized that her father is actually Daniel, the number 7, and the Kara is the first human/cylon child? Posit the following:

1) Mother was abusive
2) Mother impressed on her she was special
3) She was born around the same time as Anders, Tyrol, Galen, and Tori.
4) The final five were put on the colonies to "teach them a lesson" by the Cavil's, could the same be true for Daniel
5) He is an artist, creative, a piano player
6) Kara knew the song, and the symbol, meaning it was impressed on her at a young age

This is something I hope is clarified in the last few episodes.{{unsigned|Caseon}}

: Welcome, Caseon. Don't forget to sign your posts with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. I too am hoping the issue is clarified. Also, we generally try to use talk pages strictly for issues related to improving the page, rather than forum-like discussion, but any speculation, theorizing, and general socializing are always welcome on the [http://www.battlestarforum.com/ Battlestar Forum]. Great contribution and hope to see you around more! [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 17:12, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

==Name change==

I definitely agree with the idea of renaming the page "Dreilide Thrace" ... pretty obviously his name. [[User:JubalHarshaw|JubalHarshaw]] 17:12, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:Concur. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 17:16, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:: Was the name visible within the episode, or did anyone say his name? (I can't remember, have to watch it again.) Anyway, it would be "Dreilid" and not "Dreilide", which would be plural. (Trust me, German is my native language.) ;-) BTW: The meaning of the word "Lied" is "song". Probably no coincidence. --[[User:Janjan|Janjan]] 09:20, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

==Image==

Since the podcast from Someone ot watch over me stated that "slick" was in fact an image of Kara's father shouldn't we add an image of him to the article? )Oh I'm also a bit new to editing this wiki but not new to the site. [[User:Aeon1006|Aeon1006]] 23:46, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

== Slick as a Virtual being? ==

I see people are assuming that Slick was a form of projection, eluding to the belief that Kara is the 7th Cylon Daniel. But is it possible that Slick is instead a Virtual being like Virtual Caprica Six, Virtual Gaius etc,. ?? Should this speculation be included in the article?

Telencephalic inhibitor

2009-02-14T00:10:59Z

Tstimp: Just adding some questions.

A '''telencephalic inhibitor''' is a device installed in [[Cylon Centurion]]s to restrict their higher functions and therefore prevent full self-awareness. [[Natalie]]'s faction (the [[Two]]s, the [[Six]]es, and most of the [[Eight]]s) has them removed in retaliation for the lobotomizing of the [[Raider (RDM)|Raiders]], resulting in Centurions who are able and willing to shoot [[humanoid Cylons]] ([[Six of One]]).

==Note==
* The existence of such a device is implied in "[[Precipice]]" when Admiral [[William Adama|Adama]] notes that the humanoid Cylons enslaved the Centurions to prevent their own Cylon rebellion. However, the details behind this are not given until "[[Six of One]]".

==Questions==

* Why would the Human model Cylons build centurions with higher brain functions? If the older 005 Model Centurion is out of date, is there some directive to not interfere in the construction of Centurion minds?
