Starbuck, Baltar and others in “Colonial Day”

You have been selected as Caprica's delegate to the Quorum of Twelve.

Me? Is this some kind of joke?

Guess you got the super-genius vote. No accounting for taste.

Congratulations, Doctor!

Thank you, um...politics is the only thing more boring than blood samples. All those interminable speeches, all that dreary pomp...!

Parties full of young women, drawn to men of power.

...but when the people call, you must serve.
