Boy, that was a close one! That gas formation was a clever trick.

Hello there.

I know I've already spoken to some of you—I had hoped to do this individually—but it appears we need to move things along more quickly than we'd realized. That ship of yours seems eager to shake us, and we simply can't let that happen.

My name is Lina Barnez. The rest of the team and I have been working on contacting the Tranquility for some time. Unfortunately, our tech isn't perfectly compatible with what you're running on. It hasn't been easy, but we're managing. I don't know how long we'll have.

We're here to help you, but in order to do that, we'll need you to help us. You've been through a lot on this ship: it's a miracle so many of you are still with us. We'd like to make sure you stay that way, but we can only do that if you're completely honest with us.

We know about the events on Strela, the Cyllene and Arima, as well as the Scylla. What happened to those poor people was not your fault, and you have my word that we have no plans to hold you responsible for those events.

But we need to work together to make sure it doesn't happen again. The more you tell us about what's been going on aboard the Tranquility, the more we can do.


[ NOTE: All conversations will be cut off before too long by the engines suddenly powering back up, and the jump alarm sounding to alert characters to proceed to medbay immediately. ]

I thought that might be the case.
My answer then, is no, it did not. I haven't been here long, but I've seen enough to know that the humans think this is Tartarus. I'm not convinced.

You won't get them to accept your help until they are clawing against the wall for dear life, and even then they will fear and resent you. That's just how they are. Paranoia and distrust are the only guarantee humanity has for its own survival.

I could.
And you could tell me how those people died.

You don't know exactly what happened, do you? You can tell me, I won't judge you for it.
My name is Leoben. I'm not human. I look, and sound, and feel human, but I'm a machine. The correct term is Cylon.

And what is that?
