Talk:Maya/Archive 1

I find it interesting that Maya would end up assisting Roslin in the elementary school on New Caprica. So interesting in fact that it is unlikely to be coincidence: Roslin managed affairs somehow so that Maya and Hera/Isis would be in a position where she could keep tabs on them. Remember that Maya, so far as we know, has no idea of Hera's origin or significance other than the cover story of her having been the child of an unidentified Pegasus officer. It is also probable that Admiral Adama aided somehow in this placement of Maya near Roslin. While Baltar was clearly running the show in the year between the election and the fall of New Caprica to the Cylons, it would be a bit naive to assume that Admiral Adama was wholly without any power. Furthermore, Baltar apparently does not know of Hera's continued existence: Roslin and Admiral Adama clearly do. --Felix Culpa 16:15, 16 March 2006 (CST)

Roslin was aware of Baltar's involvement with Six prior to the birth of Hera, so it's possible that when Isis was adopted, she kept him out of it intentionally. Also, Adama may not be aware- he wan't in the meeting we saw. Roslin almost certainly formed a friendship with Maya to keep an eye on them and make sure Baltar never guessed the truth. Adama didn't need to pull any strings, manipulate any aides. Why would Baltar care about Laura's assistant teacher? Ragestorm 19:30, 16 March 2006 (EST)

Because Adama knows whose child Hera really is, and has some idea that the Cylons consider her important. Baltar would not consider Maya important (except possibly as a physical diversion, she really is lovely), but as of right now, where Maya goes, so does Hera. Baltar would find that very important. I also have trouble believing that Adama just sat in orbit for a year while everything went to hell in a handbasket: he wasn't willing to subvert the democratic process, but that sure does not mean he was not ready and willing to take precautions and make preparations for the day when the Cylons returned. I think Adama had a contingency plan, and certainly kept his feelers out for important things like Hera and her status. --Felix Culpa 20:37, 16 March 2006 (CST)
