Additional Information

Gina is a Cylon agent who posed as a crewmember aboard the battlestar Pegasus (Resurrection Ship, Part I). She was identified by the crew of that ship and apprehended (killing seven crewmen in the process). She was incarcerated, brutally interrogated, tortured, and systematically gang-raped by many of the crew.

When Pegasus encounters Galactica and her Fleet, Gina is examined by Dr. Gaius Baltar. He is heartbroken by her state, and resolves to help her in any way he can. He convinces Admiral Helena Cain to permit her to be fed, and recounts to Gina a story of his love for her copy on Caprica, before the Cylon attack (Pegasus).

Gina, speaking for the first time, reveals her awareness of her true nature and her mission as a soldier. She begs Baltar to kill her and put an ultimate end to her suffering. When Baltar reminds her that she would just be revived in another Number Six body somewhere else, Gina reveals to him that it wouldn't happen if the unknown Cylon ship that Pegasus had been tracking is destroyed. She calls the vessel a Resurrection Ship, and that it was used to collect the consciousnesses of Cylons who die too far away from the Cylon homeworld and download them into new bodies. With no Resurrection Ship to download her consciousness, Gina would truly die if she were killed (Resurrection Ship, Part I).

When she senses that the Resurrection Ship is destroyed, Gina begs Baltar to kill her. She is incapable of killing herself, because within the Cylon religion, suicide is a sin. However, Baltar convinces Gina that she should go on living and get "justice" for what happened to her. With Baltar's help, Gina escapes from her cell, makes her way to Cain's quarters and shoots Cain with a pistol, killing her. Then, through unexplained means (probably aid from Baltar), she manages to escape Pegasus (Resurrection Ship, Part II).

Gina, the Demand Peace operative

After Laura Roslin finds herself at her death bed, the Cylon peace movement summons Baltar to Cloud Nine. Here, Gina has assumed a role as one of the leaders within the peace movement, leaving her followers unaware of her Cylon nature. She disguises herself by means of glasses and a different hairstyle. Gina attempts to convince Baltar that, upon assuming the presidency, he should go up against Adama -- and thus solidify the distrust for the military within the Fleet. As a result of the massive sexual abuse she has suffered, and unlike other copies of her model, Gina now abhors intimate contact of any kind, as observed when she bites Baltar when he instinctively tries to kiss her. After Roslin recovers from her cancer -- thanks to Baltar -- Gina is given the nuclear warhead earmarked for Baltar's research as part of his Cylon detector (Epiphanies).

Gina was supposed to appear in a subplot in "Downloaded" in which she conspired with D'anna Biers to kidnap Hera, however the episode ran long and all of the scenes involving Cylons aboard Galactica were cut.

Following Baltar's election as president of the Twelve Colonies, he visits Gina once more aboard Cloud Nine, attempting to explain to her that because of his new duties he'd be unable to see as much of her as they'd like. After he remarks that he'd make what time he could on New Caprica, she tells him that she wouldn't be leaving the ship to join the new colony. Angry, Baltar attempts to leave the room, but Gina simply says "stay," while proceeding to undress, choking back her physical aversion in a desperate attempt to make him stay with her. They share an intimate interlude, and later, while Baltar is being sworn in as president, Gina sits naked on the floor of her room in front of the nuclear warhead. The timer running, Gina cries softly as the device detonates, destroying Cloud Nine and several ships in the vicinity (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II).

With the Resurrection Ship destroyed, the death of Gina is presumed final.

Notes

• Gina is a reference to some fans' derisive nickname for the Re-imagined Series, GINO - "Galactica In Name Only" (itself an allusion to RINO and DINO, considered by some to be a derogatory political term) (Source: "Pegasus" podcast).
• Gina has darker hair than the other Number Six copies seen so far. It is unknown whether she has naturally white hair which she dyes honey-blonde (another part of her disguise), or all Sixes have naturally honey-blonde hair which they dye white. Gina had dark hair before joining the Peace Movement, but that could be the result of grime. (When Caprica-Six is reborn (Downloaded) her hair is white.) Cinematically, actor Tricia Helfer's hair was dyed in the lighter color in Season 1. However, the dye caused damage to her hair, so wigs are used later. The hair color on Gina is likely the actor's natural color.
• The notion of the permanent destruction of Gina's consciousness is reinforced by the testimony of a Number Five copy, indicating that New Caprica was uncovered by the Cylons by accident when they arrived one year after Gina's death. If Gina's consciousness was transmitted to a second Resurrection Ship, she might have disclosed the location of the Fleet sooner.
