Transcripts
IMO we should make transcripts of the audio clips from clues 11 and 16, as it's hard to make out everything being said. -- Gordon Ecker 09:29, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Agree. Here's a stab at it. --Peter Farago 03:10, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Clip 11
Clip opens with a monologue from a male voice, which sounds like Tom Zarek: "Every revolution... begins with one small act of courage... but I hope you know how serious this is. I hope you understand that this... will have consequences." This is overlaid with a repeating pattern of pops and clicks, like an old vinyl record. It repeats ten times at full volume (up until "understand"), then three more times as the clip fades out, until "have consequences" is practically inaudible. There are a couple more words after this that I can't make out.
As we fade out of Zarek, we fade in to crowd noises. I think I can hear another whispered male voice saying "one second in D-block..." or "once I get into D-block..." Then, we get a new interference sound effect, reminiscent of the radio static from "Crossroads", and the volume of the crowd noises rises dramatically.
Baltar: "This is madness"
Male Voice: "...served in a corrupt administration"
Baltar: "You know exactly what I'm talking about. Our little secret."
Female voice: "Or anyone else" (I think the female voice is Tori or an Eight (in cold, assertive mode), but I can't be sure - maybe Starbuck? Definitely not Roslin, Three or Six.)
Gaeta: "So I guess a pity frak's out of the question, then?"

Clip 15
Hoshi(?): "They're communicating with Colonial One, sir."
Adama: "Let's hear it!"
Gaeta: "What do you want, Gaius?"
Batar: "I want this to stop right now. This is madness. Felix. I know you're a good man. You're going to do the right thing. You know exactly what I'm talking about."
Tigh(?), overlaid: The fifth, you're-.
Baltar: "Our little secret. But I forgive you of that... [unintelligible]. If you are hungry for redemption, this is not the way."
Gaeta: "Goodbye, Gaius."
Baltar: "Felix, please. Listen-"
This is almost certainly a composite scene. Many of the sentences from Baltar's long speech sound like they've been spliced together from different clips.
Adding info as clues appear in episodes?
My thought is that as the video and audio clips appear in aired episodes, the clues should be updated with that info. I'm updating my own list as such, but I wanted to get others' opinions before making all those edits. Thoughts??
