[Two centurions drag Baltar into the High Throne Chamber of the Imperious Leader]
You are Baltar?
[chuckles] It's as if you don't remember, hmm?
My predecessor has left me with a difficult choice.
Your... predecessor?
Was destroyed by your peers. A foolish miscalculation of the will of your people.
I... I tried to warn him! I... I could've helped! I could've prevented his...!
Yes. I have examined your epistle suggesting you would be able to locate the humans.
Why, yes. Oh, yes. I... I think as they do. I... I know where they will go, what they must do...
I find your reasoning logical.
Then... I am to be...
Spared.
To serve the Empire!
No. To serve your people. To help us extend the hand of truce.
Truce?
My predecessor was programmed at a time when our Empire was less capable of tolerance. Now that we are omnipotent, we can afford to be more charitable. You will explain my policy of good will. I have spared you. I will spare them.
They are... not likely to be receptive.
I will send with you a base star, entirely under your command. Lucifer!
