Time line of comics
Kobol. 4000 years ago. Pythia charged with heresy, seeing visions of angel six.
Human resurrection living as Gods among the superstitious, barely escape with their lives. Caprican resurrection technology is a separate lineage, occurring much later on the timeline.
Tye has a thing for Pythia, he and 13ths have resurrection technology. Cavil is a human sympathetic to the 13ths, who is killed by the humans, and offered resurrection by the 13ths.[Kobol doesn’t need Pythia story line, it’s just a place where the gods and man lived together, until man turned on the “gods”, forcing their exodus. Pythia enters story line in next loop — need to discern why angel six was programmed into Pythia to argue against resurrection technology, and why she argued for unity of the tribes against the 13th. Angel six also argues against resurrection technology in Michael and Saul Tye. The occurrence in Saul could be explained as a genetic inheritance, but Michael Tye does not see angel six until he is resurrected for the exodus from Kobol, indicating an intervention point. How many intervention points are there? ]
The Algae Planet, and the Temple of Hopes. The 13ths travel in search of an ideal planet, in their exodus from Kobol. Michael Tye is seeing angel six who is helping direct him to earth. First (Dad) Cavil and Dad Tye represent opposing sides in the debate of where to go next. Dad Cavil says lets just find the nearest place. Dad Tye says “no, we should be looking for earth”. They end up following a ship that appears out of nowhere (looks like Starbucks ship), crash landing without resurrection technology or a way off the planet, due in part to sabotage of Magnus Baltar (who shot Pythia). The planet is the Algae Planet. Tye swears off his visions of angel six as being hallucinations. Then Pythia appears just as Magnus and Tye discover one another again, she is the one from the viper they followed, she says she’s been to Earth (and reminds him she told him she’d see him on the other side). Pythia helps rebuild the ship for journey to earth with Tye, to have future child together, Saul. She sends Magnus back to Kobol with the book of Pythia (which would include the “prophesies”, or the “history of the future” she viewed prior to her arrival on Kobold, namely that a dying leader would lead the way to earth, she’d see snakes, etc). Angel six warns Tye that its not really Pythia, says she’s a rogue god (in the Kobold sense of the term, this means someone using resurrection technology? Or resurrection plus time travel?), but he doesn’t care.[Pythia, the rogue god, and starbuck, are all the same person, but at different points in time due to time travel intervention. Kobol Pythia is resurrected with angel six programming (someone from the future of cylon children has hacked her resurrection node), given the mission to argue against resurrection technology and the disunity the 13ths represent, in the first time travel attempt to save the race. This is how she knows how to reengineer the genome for biological reproduction, the cylon children of the future, CCOF, have already figured it out. The CCOF must discover that the intervention hasn’t worked. Or did they try several simultaneous interventions, to increase their odds? This would explain multiple angel sixes with the same program goals — Pythia, Michael Tye.
Second attempt the cylon children make at time travel intervention is the Starbuck looking woman (the rogue god) who claims to be Pythia and marries Michael Tye (becomes Saul Tye’s Mom) — she knows to take the form of Pythia because the recorded history of the SECOND loop tells of Michael Tye’s infatuation with her. (First loop Pythia didn’t exist, Second loop — which is the first intervention — she does, Michael Tye becomes infatuated with her, quite accidentally, but historically recorded). What becomes of Michael Tye in the first and second loops? Need to draw a history of the first two lines, what happens — we’re presuming that the CCOF, or Six and Sharon anyway — realize haunting the universe after human extinction that love and parenthood are required, and so plan a do over, a trip back in time to secretly hack the resurrection technology to include angel six. Third loop she’s in Michael Tye’s post exodus programming but he eventually swears her off as a hallucination… For the first two interventions to be able to have angel six, the final five had to be present to build her. Maybe the result of the first loop is the realization that they must make angel six, and put her in someone who doesn’t know they have been synthesized, Pythia being their first experiment, someone who was high enough profile to have the ear of the tribal council, to advocate for the end of resurrection, unification of the tribes. Chapter title: Killing Pythia, the early angel six experiments. They kill her to resurrect her with synthetic programming, then the synthetic version is to be burned as a heretic (but is shot escaping).
Earth. 2 millennia before the fall of the 12 colonies. Cavil has daughter, Ellen, unclear on who her mom is, but her name is Ellen as well. Tye has son, Saul, mom is Pythia (the rouge god), who helped reengineer the genome for biological reproduction. Michael Tye outlawed resurrection to make everyone more “human”, Pythia dies of old age, reportedly (by first Cavil) pleading for resurrection. Ellen comments that they were born machines, never really human. Galen and Tory and Ellen are working on reinvention of resurrection, at Cavil Cybernetics. Cavil (100 years) wants resurrection technology back, thinks biological reproduction was a mistake. Invented Cavil technologies, robot workers. Daughter Ellen is engaged to his enemy’s son, Saul Tye. Angel six haunts Saul as well, not just Michael. Angel six has “always” been against resurrection technology, since days of haunting Pythia, but is now for it (suggesting a new intervention — which loop are we on?), helps guide Ellen to reinvention of it, having seen the end of mankind. Resurrection technology, initially banned on earth is reinvented, just as Earth is destroyed by old school cylons, final five see it coming and escape, having been warned and assisted in escape technology, namely resurrection by angel six. [suggests two tries by angel six] Michael Tye dies of old age, his son Saul who is a political proponent of mortality like his father is resurrected by Ellen, against his wishes. Cavil is killed by his daughter Ellen for his assassination attempt on Saul.
While Cavil erases the final five memory 30 years before the fall of the colonies, Earth’s destruction occurred 2 thousand years ago.
