They are followed by Sheba, who is still under Iblis' spell, and Iblis himself, who teleports himself to the planet when he senses the plot. However, it's too late, as the Quorum of the Twelve is considering giving Iblis the presidency.Ĭonvinced that accepting Iblis' leadership will lead to disaster, Apollo and Starbuck head back to the planet where Iblis' ship was found. Baltar had come to the fleet to discuss the appearance of the Lights, and that Iblis had nothing to do with it. Apollo learns that there is a scientific explanation behind the sudden growth of the plants on the farm ships, and Adama remembers that the Colonials have latent psychokinesis abilities.
Meanwhile, Count Iblis' tricks are being uncovered. But for that to be possible, Iblis must have been on the Cylon homeworld thousands of yahrens ago, when the original biological Cylons were wiped out by the mechanical Cylons, and the robotic Imperious Leader was built to duplicate the biological Imperious Leader it replaced. He later realises it is the voice of the Cylon Imperious Leader.
Hours later, Baltar delivers himself to the Colonials.īaltar is shocked to hear Iblis' voice, which he claims to have heard before. The Quorum quickly picks the first two miracles: to have Count Baltar delivered to them and for Iblis to plot a course to Earth. To prove himself, Iblis moves some objects by psychokinesis and makes food grow on the farm ships, and offers to perform three miracles chosen by the Quorum of Twelve.
Nevertheless, Iblis' popularity grows further when he promises to protect the fleet from the mysterious Lights that have been following it recently and to lead them to Earth, which he implies he has visited, if he is given command of the fleet. However, several mysteries surround him - he is very elusive about his background, speaking only vaguely about being pursued by "enemies", he objects to having medical scans taken of him, and when he walks on the bridge nearby instruments go off-line. He proves to be charismatic and likeable, and quickly becomes very popular among the crew. Due to high radiation levels around the crashed ship, the Galactica crew is unable to explore it further. When an expedition from the Galactica lands on an unexplored planet, they find Lord Iblis, standing amidst the wreckage of a huge starship which had crashed on the planet some time before.
