The lineage
Toasters are robots that are given sentience from greystone’s
daughter. They led the initial war against the colonies, but sometime
after the 13th tribe traveled to algae planet. When the 13th tribe
learned of the humans being destroyed by the toasters in the “one and
only cylon war” they created the 7 purely synthetic models reprenting
the various “types” or facets of humanity as a tribute to their
ancestors, as well as companions, or children to keep them company.
The 13th tribe were already beginning to learn of the out of control
egos that occur with immortality, and determine to program
ressurection to not transfer memories of previous life, so as to
continue to have more human like existence like they use to.
Essentially machines living human lives, having children and dying.
Forward time travel was invented first, because its easier, leases
complications in the space time continuum when going forward. When
going backward in time, things are more complicated. Not many
complications going forward except when something happens to a younger
variant of yourself, you disappear. With the invention of backward
time travel, which as we’ve said takes much longer to travel, there
became a need to track “absolute time”, which is the “natural
progression of time” per time travelor, from the point of view of
their “earlier” life as if they never time traveled. Tracking this was
difficult mathematically. The necessity came about from traveling back
in time and then forward, you will find a second self which is younger
going back in time, and if they don’ t do the time travel in the exact
moment that you did in their own personal future, then your time line
disappears and so do you, at that “absolute” moment. Basically
whenever you travel back in time you know when this Moment of your
“disappearance” will be, (presuming nothing happens to your original
prior to it) as it is the absolute moment in your doubles future in
which you traveled back, if they don’t travel back. This is what
happened to Starbuck in the final episode, when she was observed to
disappear. Her original had just crashed and burned on the original
earth.
Starbuck knew she had limited time on new Earth. She was well aware that the “younger version” of herself — in absolute time — was about to crash and burn in the battle that would bring the historic 13th colony to extinction. Perhaps she was wearing a special watch, a gift perhaps, that provided a count down of her borrowed time. Or maybe her travels back and forth on the time continuum had created an internal sense — an inner time piece — that she had learn to read. We don’t really know. The algorithms allowing future observation of her final timeline have been destroyed, to protect the actions that led to the resurrection of humanity from possible erasure.
Notes from mini series…
Baltar starts seeing visions of six after explosion on caprica, not
before. Perhaps six’s love for Baltar gives her the idea after human
extinction to travel back in time and use the resurrection technology
of the “followers of the one” to copy Baltar before he dies so he can
be resurrected. She knows from previous loops of this effort that she
must erase baltar’s memory of being killed, as well as any knowledge
that he’s a synthetic. She fails several attempts because her own
memory of what she needs to do keeps getting corrupted by the time
travel [need extended explanation of loops, and types of memory
impairment from backward time travel; maybe a chapter each, but
separated and used as intermissions from the story line]. It
eventually occurs to her to place an “angel” in the resurrection
programming that can guide her and Balter to their destiny. The story
of how that is pulled off, going back in time to alter a computer
program used by the first human users of resurrection, could be a
separate chapter unto itself. Did the final five ( who were the only
remaining humans, albeit synthetic, order the angels to be programmed?
Admiral Adama gives speech about whether humans are worthy of being
saved, right before attack, catching interest of some of the final
five…
Corneal Tie doesn’t want the galactica to jump, after all these years,
maybe it doesn’t work… Or maybe he’s concerned about memory loss…
Baltar says “Oh my God” (singular) when he realizes he has been fooled.
Apparition Six is helping him from the beginning, showing him the
cylon device, baltar identifies a second cylon immediately…
Corneal tie seems to know baltar, when he says he’s a genius. Six says
they should make a copy of baltar’s brain waves be caused she is so
impressed with his lack of conscience.
Chapter One: extinction.
Based on Episode 33 and Water
Baltar’s “imaginary” Six knows that there are agents on board the
Olympic cruiser, and that they have been communicating (every 33
minutes) with the base stars following the fleet. She knows this
because that ship rammed and destroyed the galactica on a previous
loop, ending the human race as the rest of the fleet was undefended
and destroyed. This was part of the programming put into the “angel”
in the followers of the one resurrection apparatus. The Water episode
therefor takes place in the new loop, a perpetuation of the same
devolution of the Sharons and the Sixes brought about by love of
humans. The Sharon’s are having trouble following orders feeling more
alive impersonating humans than as themselves. Aboard galactica, via
the plan, sharon isn’t playing along as she should, she destroys the
water supply, only to discover more and fight off destroying her self
and the ship to go ahead and report the finding. The Sixes feeling
more alive loving humans — on occupied caprica a six tries to connect
with Helo before a Sharon kills her, to play house herself with Helo.
Angel six tells Baltar not to deny God’s existence, telling him to
repent for doing so. There were people aboard the Olympic carrier,
pawns of hijacking. Angel six — seeking to save Baltar — warns him
that the ship needs to be destroyed. Maybe the destruction of the
galactica in this way, and subsequently the rest of the fleet, meaning
the human race, is the first chapter.
Note that Baltar denies the existence of God after the discover that
earth is dead, as well.
Chapter 2: The Final Five. The story of the last five humans. The land
they came from, their belief in resurrection prior to resurrection
technology, did they die with resurrection? Were they replicated or
reborn? Whatever they were, they were the last remnants of humanity to
survive the human extinction. The 13th colony survived the first
robotic uprising, having left the system in search of a new home where
they would not be religiously persecuted. What were their beliefs? Did
they believe in one God? Read the comics again.
…were they not priests (the temple)? …were they not scientists (memories)?
Canon says they returned and stopped the first robotic war. Did they
time travel to do so? Had the extinction already occurred, but they
were able to go back in time and stop the war short of its natural
end, promising the toasters help with creating human bodies, hence the
creation of the 7 “purely” synthetic models by the five, allowing the
toasters to have experience of various aspects of humanity …need
reference.
Some of that I now know is incorrect. Timeline is Kobol (4000 yrs
before destruction of colonies BDC), algae planet, pre apocalyptic
dead earth, post apocalyptic earth (2000 BDC), caprica pre cylon war,
end of first cylon war (40 BDC), destruction of caprica (DC),
Galactica destroys Olympus (vs it rams Galactica), escape from
occupied caprica, boomers discovery of water on the algae planet,
discovery of Kobol, discovery of the poisonous beacon, Starbuck killed
in gravity well, supernova turns on the final five, Starbuck returns 2
months after death, cylon civil war destroys resurrection, final 5
outed, dead earth found along with Starbucks body, discovery and
destruction of the colony, new earth, earth 15000 later with Baltar
and six speculating on its future.
But the children get jealous of their parents love for humans, and
determine to kill the humans, in the process of doing so learn that
the parents don’t stop loving humans after the humans die, they still
remember them, and morn them. But it is too late, humanity has been
killed off. The Olympic cruiser rams the galactica, destroying the
defenses of the fleet, and the human race is extinguished.
Can they travel back in time again? Will they have to wait for the
technology to evolve? [note the reason the final five couldn’t give
resurrection technology to the non rebels was because they hadn’t
invented it yet, perhaps]
Based on episodes of Bastille day and an act of contrition
Angel six tells Baltar he had better do as she says or the fleet will
discover what he has done and throw him out of an airlock — she is
uncharacteristically loud which may mean this actually happened in a
previous loop which she wishes to avoid. A chapter about Baltar being
discovered, his cylon detector being a fraud, him being thrown out an
airlock… But when? Presumably immediately, which would mean perhaps
the guy from the ministry of defense has the opportunity to narc on
him, but at this point in the time line the Olympic has already been
destroyed… So did the guy get on board the Galactica prior to the
jump? Does another episode better reveal this?maybe. Six degrees of
separation suggests that the cylons are trying to get Baltar’s machine
discredited, and him thrown out an airlock, but this is all after the
destruction of the Olympic cruiser.
Based on Litmus, you can’t go home again, and six degrees of separation.
Doral was trying to blow up Baltar’s machine, Baltar, Adama, or any of
these high priority targets? Trying to kill Baltar confirms angel six
is aligned with Baltar, as opposed to the “cylon agenda”… Still want
to answer the question of when does Baltar get air locked? And new
question, why so important to angel six that Baltar admits his
powerlessness, why must he ask for God’s help for her to help him?
So Kara can fly a raider even as members of the final five have
trouble, she recreates the feat instinctually — where does this
knowledge come from?
Sharon, Six, and Doral on occupied caprica are experimenting with
human love; Helo did not know that six was not human, or that cylons
looked human, until Sharon shot her? At any rate Occupied caprica six
by kissing Helo shows that she is interest in playing the lead role in
the experiment, maybe that was actually the original plan, but Sharon
changed it with the gun shot, claiming that she knew Helo wasn’t going
to take the bait. The seduction module of the sixes seems impaired
after angel six appears –the model that kissed Adama, the model that
kissed Helo, just isn’t able to pull it off, she comes across as too
strong — maybe was part of the same sabotage as the creation of angel
six.
Why are the cylons trying to kill Baltar? Because of the cylon
detection machine rouse? Angel six knows its fake but still gets
Baltar to work on it. She know this will attract attempts on his life
that will draw them out of hiding. Is she working with the final five
or on a separate add-on or followup mission? It’s a follow up mission,
that makes the series sequence of events possible. First lines of the
book are, “all of this has happened before, all of this will happen
again…” Perhaps the follow up mission is specific to insuring the
ability of future generations to have children… having children
changes the parents, even when the parents are cylon… The immortals
need mortality, love, and children, to be human… Without these, it
never ends well. Hence the love experiments.

Note that the full blooded cylon baby dies, it’s the hybrid baby that
is mitochondrial eve.
Roslyn’s synchronized visions with Sharon and Physical Six is the
result of an implant done the day she was diagnosed with cancer. The
day the she was diagnosed was a matter of public record after she
divulged her cancer to the public. The parenthood experiments led to a
second intervention, not just Baltar’s resurrection with the angel six
programming but Roslyn’s implant.
