The Starcrossed

CIC. Adama interrupts a conference call he's having with the Prez and Starbuck, and orders all ships to check for nukes. He tells Dualla to say that it's a precaution so as not to alarm anyone. That sounds interesting. "Hi, Steve, it's Dualla. How's it going? Oh, nothing much. Hey, I was just wondering -- do you have any nuclear bombs on your ship? Are you sure? Hey, I know this sounds crazy, but could you check anyway? C'mon, just humor me. Go look; I'll hang on." Adama returns to his phone call as the Prez says, "We'll know for sure [about the nuke] in 8 hours and 40 minutes." Cheery lass. The Prez asks if Leoben said anything else. Starbuck admits that Leoben guessed her callsign, and seemed delighted to know who she was. Adama says that Leoben could have heard of Starbuck while he was hiding in the fleet. He warns her, "Don't take any chances."

The box. Leoben asks if Starbuck believes in the gods. When she declines to answer, he guesses that she prays to Artemis and Aphrodite. Starbuck asks where the nuke is. Leoben laughs that they have similar beliefs, but that he only worships a single god. Starbuck doesn't care. Leoben insists, "To know the face of God is to know madness." He worships Cthulhu? Starbuck leans back in her chain and scrunches her face wearily as Leoben claims to see "the patterns" and "the foreshadowing that precedes every moment." I wish Baltar were there to ask, "As opposed to the foreshadowing that follows every moment?" Leoben claims that he wants to tell Starbuck something about the future. But not just yet, of course.
