Battlestar Prometheus "The Story ...

“You‟re right.” Gastineau said, smiling Commander Tajalle. “Commander,
prepare my flagship for immediate departure. We‟re going to see this one from the front
row.”
COMMAND NEXUS
CYLON BASESTAR 0-1
IN ORBIT OF SAGITARON
Chapter 1
THE GATHERING STORM
They were known by many names. Toasters, Bucket Heads, Red Eye‟s, Chrome
Domes, to name a few. The slang terms, it seemed, never ended.
They, however, chose to call themselves by the names their creators had given
them. A name that, even now, was striking fear into the hearts of humans across the
Colonies.
They were Cylons.
Inside the command nexus of the Basestar the Cylons called, simply, Zero One,
the Centurion soldiers of the Cylon crew moved with an efficiency that their human
opponents would be envious of.
In the center of the nexus, on a raised platform, stood a Centurion Commander,
his special station denoted by the golden hue of his armor.
His red eye scanned the command nexus for any sign of trouble or inefficiency.
He found none, as usual.
Across the nexus, the double doors that opened into the command access corridor
opened to admit two silver armored Centurions carrying the battered form of a shackled
human in a green Colonial uniform between them. They approached the command station
and waited for the Centurion Commander to address them.
“Report Centurion.” The golden Cylon commanded in his deep mechanical
monotone voice.
“By your command.” The Centurion with one black stripe on his shoulder armor
replied. “We captured this human on Sagitaron in sector one, one, five, four, alpha. He
was attempting to destroy the primary power generator for the Raider refueling site.”
