Cylon Centurion quotes from Battlestar Galactica (1978)

By your command.

The Imperious Leader

Speak, Centurion.

All base ships are now in range to attack the Colonies.

The Imperious Leader

The final annihilation of the life form known as man. Let the attack begin.

Their destruction is complete.

Our forces have taken prisoners near the spacedrome. They tell of survivors who escaped in ships.

What ships? How far can they go? If a handful of survivors did indeed escape, they would have neither fuel nor food for a prolonged voyage.

The information is not complete. It is offered in exchange for life.

And what is the standing order for humans from your Imperious Leader?

Extermination.

Then carry out your orders. If they exist, they're doomed.

Flight Leader Serpentine, by your command.

The Imperious Leader

Report, Centurion, on the final assault.

On each of the twelve planets, a similar story is told of a handful of ships that escaped destruction to rendezvous with a warship.

The Imperious Leader

What kind of warship?

The Battlestar Galactica.

The Imperious Leader

Then go and seek out Baltar. Tell him I'm displeased. Tell him I've offered a choice: Deliver the Battlestar Galactica or deliver his head.

[in Ovion language] The humans are in full attendance.

How many warriors?

[in Ovion language] We have counted over 200.

Nearly their full complement of warriors. See that the humans remain entertained until the end. Then they will be yours in the lower chambers.

The warriors continue to advance, at least six squadrons.

The Imperious Leader

Recall all raiders to defend base ship!

Our raiders are all destroyed.

The Imperious Leader

All destroyed? How? We took them by surprise.

Apparently it was not as big a surprise as we had hoped for.

The Imperious Leader

Retreat closer to Carillon! Below their scanners!

There are reports of fires on Carillon. It is dangerous to move closer.

The Imperious Leader

I said lower! Or they will destroy us!

By your command.
