Summary[edit]

It's a dangerous time for the last remaining humans. Captured by the Cylons on New Caprica, the colonists live in fear of what every new day will bring. As the Cylons press their oppressive--and life-threatening agenda--the survivors grow more desperate to reclaim their freedom.
But there's hope. Out in the wilds of New Caprica, beyond the Cylon boundaries, is a band of human freedom fighters.
They answer to no one. They fear no Cylons. They are Twilight Command--and they have a plan.
From writer Michael Moreci (Wasted Space, Archie Meets Batman '66) and artist Breno Tamura (Batgirl and the Birds of Prey) comes the untold tale of Twilight Command![1]

Plot[edit]

  • On day 102 of the Cylon occupation, John Cavil drives a truck (as part of a convoy) during a rainy night. His truck and others are filled with supplies into the shanty town of New Caprica City. He waxes on during an one-way conversation about "putting in an awful lot of work bringing an inferior race to its extinction" to a Centurion.
  • The convoy stops for a seemingly deactivated Centurion standing in their path. Cavil attempts to talk to the deactivated Centurion to no avail, and orders the Centurions (four in all) to remove the obstruction so that it can be brought back to base.
  • The Centurion activates, revealing a green glowing eye, and declares that "You definitely have problems."
  • Cavil's shock on a talking Centurion subsides as he orders its destruction.
  • A rocket-propelled grenade from a resistance fighter takes out a group of Centurions near the convoy, and Flores springs their trap. He orders Devos to secure Cavil, while Tomlin is to stay on him.
  • A short-lived firefight ensues, and Cavil is disarmed by Devos. Flores declares that the reason Cavil remains alive is to deliver the food to the humans as planned. Much to Cavil's continued surprise, Flores reveals that they are not from the colony, and Devos knocks Cavil out before the conversation can continue. Flores orders the food to be loaded, so that they can disappear again.
