Sharon's WOTG/Cylon/Baltar Comments
10/26/2000

In WOTG, when Baltar came to the Galactica under a sign of truce,
Robert mentioned:
>Baltar was expecting to go home, not be thrown into the brig.  I don't
think he would have told the Cylons to stay inside the ship and twiddle
their thumbs.<
 
     Actually, that might have been pretty much what happened.
     Saith Baltar:  "I'm here on a peace mission.  I'm going to win
them over.  Proving my peaceful intent, you two guys are going to
surrender."
     Speaketh Cylon 1:  "That is not in my programming."
     Replieth Baltar:  "Your programming is to follow orders.  Shut up
and surrender.  If you're lucky you'll be turned back on by one
Wilker's cute tech aides (the real reason Boomer spends all his time
there, you know)."
     Sayeth Cylon 2, with a shrug:  "You're the boss."
     Pronounceth Baltar, exiting his ship:  "Hail warriors, well met! 
I bring you tidings of peace...well, at least with a flag of truce and
a suggestion that we join forces against this new enemy--"
     Utter the bold Colonial Warrior:  "Baltar, you're under arrest."
     And Baltar doth protest:  "But...but...what about my flag of
truce?"
     The bold Colonial Warrior replieth in disbelief:  "From you? 
You've got to be kidding!"
     Baltar falleth back on his allies:  "Hey, Cylons, protect me!"
     Cylons, together, glancing smugly at each other:  "Not til we get
turned on by a cute tech aide.  We're turned off and surrendered,
remember?"
