“<strong>The</strong> human revealed that his attack was a diversion.” Prime Nine said with<br />

satisfaction. “<strong>The</strong> Colonials know about our planned action on Caprica and have<br />

war.” Prime Six said.<br />

“I calculate that we will be able to destroy the C.D.F. within three months and<br />

conquer the rest of the Colonies in six.” Prime Three gloated.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>n it‟s settled.” Said Prime Nine. “<strong>The</strong> final annihilation of the life form<br />

known as man... Let the attack begin.”<br />
