Captain Valerii puts her
plan into motion.
Story Summary
Captain Valerii uses her connection with the centurions to
change their programming, "awakening" them to a new awareness of
themselves and the universe. She tells Commander Adama she's
taking the centurions home to the heart of the Cylon
civilization. While this is happening, the Earth Protectorate
launches an attack on the Galactica, seeking to kill
the Returners, who they think may be able to lead the fleet,
and thus the Cylons, to Earth.
Adama convinces
Captain Valerii's centurions and the Returners to help stop the
Earth Protectorate attack, which they successfully do. After a
heartfelt farewell to Helo,
Captain Valerii, the centurions, and the Returners are allowed
to leave the fleet in the pirate shuttle ship and make an FTL
jump to a huge Cylon base on the other side of the galaxy.

Didja Notice?
As
Captain Valerii and the Cylon Centurions (sounds like a rock
band!) say goodbye to Commander Adama to head home to Cylon
space, notice that the antebellum centurions all salute him,
while the modern ones do not.
Page 10 implies that the mother of Anastasia and Darrin Dualla
was very religious and implored her children to embrace the
words of the Sacred Scrolls.
