'The Hub' Story Code: '409' by Jane Espenson

Two days ago: immediately upon reactivation, the hybrid jumps the rebel Cylons’ baseship and all those aboard away from the Colonial Fleet. When the ship continues to make jump after jump, Boomer realises that the hybrid is panicking after learning of Natalie’s murder, and is now attempting to follow the path of the Cylon Resurrection Hub. As each jump is made, President Roslin finds herself experiencing visions of her old friend, the seer Elosha, who shows Laura her last hours, dying from cancer in a hospital bed. Learning their destination, Roslin is all for destroying the Hub, and orders Helo to bring D'anna to her for questioning in a double-cross against the Cylon rebels. Aboard the Resurrection Hub, Brother Cavil and Boomer bring D'anna out of storage and brief her on the civil war that is being waged in her name. Back aboard the rebel baseship, the Colonial pilots are furious to learn that they must ally themselves with Cylons in a dangerous attack on the Hub; the Vipers are towed behind Cylon heavy raiders, shielding them from detection so that they can mount a surprise attack on the enemy. The battle begins, and as the Vipers destroy the Hub’s FTL drive, Helo and Boomer board the stranded Cylon vessel and capture D'anna. Baltar is badly wounded in an attack on the baseship; as Roslin treats his injuries, Baltar’s painkillers kick in, and he begins babbling about guilt – before revealing that it was he who gave the access codes to the Cylons, allowing them to destroy Caprica. Horrified at this revelation, Roslin realises that the traitor’s fate rests in her hands…
