"Markus, a shuttle with colonial markings has landed," Talnar stated in his robotic voice.
"Thank you, Talnar. I cannot leave the tunnel again for fear of being spotted by the others. So you must go to the warriors and lead them to me." Dr. Cyprus noted Talnar's hesitation and added, "Of course you will wear the specially designed vest that will protect you from any laser blasters." He picked up the heavy vest and fastened it around Talnar. "God speed, my friend."
"Hold it right there!" Boomer shouted pointing his laser gun at the approaching Cylon.
"You must come with me," Talnar replied.
"Yeah, so you can take us to Baltar's cronies. I don't think so," Starbuck said drawing his weapon. Jolly did the same and still the Cylon didn't move.
"You must hurry. Your friend is in trouble. The others will be here soon."
"Our friend?" Jolly asked. He thought about it and then whispered, "Apollo."
"What have you done with Apollo?" Starbuck shouted threateningly.
"His ship crashed."
"Because of Cylons. It's always the Cylons' fault. Well, now I'm going to make you pay!" He raised his laser blaster, aimed it at Talnar, and fired. But to his surprise, the shot didn't affect him. "What?"
"Hurry, I will take you to your friend. Dr. Cyprus will help."
Boomer turned to Jolly and a bewildered Starbuck. "Do you think it's a trap?"
Jolly replied, "If it is, it's the best trap they ever made for us."
"What do you think, Starbuck?" Boomer asked.
"I...I don't know what to think....I don't understand....I'm so confused," Starbuck stuttered.
"What do you think, Boomer?" Jolly asked.
"I think that it's our only chance to find him, and we should take it." He turned to Talnar and said, "Alright, take us to this Dr. Cyprus."
