What the Hybrid told Kara

credits: Sci Fi forum member called Frakula

Hybrid: All these things it wants and many more, not because it wishes harm, but because it likes violent vibrations to change constantly.

Then shall the maidens rejoice at the dance.

Structural integrity of node 7 restored. Repressurizing.

The children of the one reborn shall find their own country.

Intruders swarmed like flame, like the whirlwind.

Hopes soaring to slaughter all their best against our hulls.

Kara Thrace: I'm here, you wanted me here, so.....

Hybrid: Replace internal (?) control accumulators 4 through 19. They'll start going ripe on us pretty soon. Compartmentalize integrity conflicts with the obligation to provide access.

FTL sync fault uncorrected.

No ceremonies are necessary.

Hybrid: Then shall the maidens rejoice at the dance.

Sructural integrity of node 7 restored. Repressurizing.

The children of the one reborn shall find their own country.

End of line. Reset.

Track mode monitor malfunction traced. Recharge compressors. Increase the output to 50%.

*** (multiple hybrid voices are heard here, note that it is very difficult to make out separate lines after they have been overlayed in the editing process, some of the following is undoubtedly incorrect. Very tricky. It makes my head hurt trying to decipher it.) ***

~ All these things are happening and more - assume the relaxation length of photons - not because it wishes... ~

Hybrid: Transverse contact is inevitable, leading to information bleed. FTL sync fault stands uncorrected. No ceremonies are necessary.

Kara Thrace: I don't understand...

Hybrid: Centrifical force reacts to the rotating frame of reference. The obstinate toy soldier becomes pliant. The city devours the land...the people devour the city...

Leoben: You can't hurry her, you have to absord her words. Allow them to caress your associative mind. Don't expect the fate of two great races to be delivered easily.

Hybrid: Assume relaxation length of photons in the sample atmosphere is constant. Intruders swarmed like flame, like the whirlwind. Hopes soaring to slaughter all their best against our hulls.

Hybrid: All these things it wants and many more, not because it wishes harm, but because it likes violent vibrations to change constantly.

Then shall the maidens rejoice at the dance.

Sharon: Ok, we're rigged and ready. It's time to pull her offline and get out of here before we miss the rendezvous.

Hybrid: Reset.

Sharon: Any luck Captain?

Hybrid: Track mode monitor malfunction traced.

Kara: Not a frakkin' thing.

Hybrid: But you are a spark of God's fire. Core update complete.

Kara: Frak it! Unplug the **** thing, let's get the frak out of here...

(The Six gives the Eight the nod to disconnect the Hybrid.)

Hybrid: Threat detection matrix enabled. Dendritic response bypassed. The recieved dose is altered by the delayed gamma burst. Going active. Execute. The children of the one reborn shall find their own country. End of line.

(The Hybrid screams in a somewhat androgenous monotone as the Eight grabs the cable. A nearby Centurian shoots the Eight before she can break the cable, even though the Six told it to stop. Everyone in the room shoots the Centurian. The Hybrid is still screaming, the Eight's blood runs into the Hybrid's goo bath.)

Kara to the Hybrid: What do you want from me? Please, I need you.

(The Hybrid stops screaming and touches Kara's face.)

Hybrid: Thus will it come to pass. The dying leader will know the truth of the opera house. The missing three will give you the five, who have come from the home of the thirteenth. You are the harbinger of death Kara Thrace. You will lead them all to their end. End of line.

(Sharon walks over and picks up the cable. The Hybrid gasps as Sharon disconnects her.)
