Scene: A figure in shadow sits with two quarter-circle tables at either side. On each table are six devices, glowing with a familiar red light. Voices issue from the devices - voices that sound like ante-bellum Cylons:

Voice 1: "Number four has failed."

Figure: "Did she recognize number thirteen?"

Voice 2: "Unknown."

Voice 3: "She is aboard Promethea."

Figure: "She's not the only one."

Voice 4: "Galactica may have survived."

Figure: "The Twelve can deal with Galactica." lights an old-style straight match "The other is my concern now."

Voice 2: "What is his plan?"

Figure: "To find us." lights a cigar "He has taken too much. Promethea will be stopped before he takes any more."

The figure brings the match close to his face, and we recognize a man who looks just like Commander Titus. He blows out the match.

Voices: "By your command, Imperious Leader."
