Summary

It all comes down to this: Twilight Command has its back against the wall, but they refuse to relent. They can't—not when Cavil's army of toasters is ready to swarm New Caprica. Prepare yourself for an explosive—and shocking—finale![1]

Plot

Cylon-Occupied New Caprica

The events depicted in this section take place following the 106th day into the Cylon occupation of New Caprica, even though it is not specified in the comic.
  • Back at Twilight Command's base camp, Alexa Flores is discussing John Cavil's plans. They agree that while a prudent move would be to enlist the assistance of "moles" to root out any resistance force, Cavil would go for the most extreme option: wholesale, undiscriminating slaughter.
  • Despite Devos' reticence of "going to war," Flores presses on with her plan to destroy Cavil's Centurion factory.
  • Flores visits Spark, and tells him that it isn't his fault that Deacon was captured, as Deacon went willingly and knew the risks. She tells him that there's still a chance to save their friend.
  • In Cavil's quarters, Deacon pleads with Cavil to kill him; Deacon feels sorrow for having betrayed his friends to Cavil. Cavil is about to have his Centurions carry out Deacon's request, but explosions outside of the factory distract him.
  • Cavil and a cadre of Centurions rush to an entrance, only to be faced with an onslaught of bombs being thrown their direction. Cavil demands the Centurions go after their assailants.
  • Behind cover, Tomlin and Devos team up; Tomlin throws the bombs, while Devos blows them up by shooting them with a sniper rifle. Spark informs them that Centurions are converging at their position.
  • Flores goes into the factory solo, knifing a Centurion in the eye and throwing another knife into another Centurion's eye slit. She reports that she's heading into the factory, as she's already wired half of the factory's exterior with explosives, and just needs to plant some inside the factory to finish the job.
  • Flores comes across Deacon, and begins cutting the wires suspending him. Deacon begins apologizing for betraying them, but will not hear of it.
  • Cavil shoots her from behind, and taunts her about the pain of dying. He notes that being resurrected is painful as well, but she will be spared the pain of rebirth as human death is permanent.

Notes

  • The credits page notes that the events depicted in this issue take place concurrently with Season 3 of the Re-imagined Series, although this does not apply to the flashback sequences in this issue.
