[edit] The Religious Card
- Roslin receives a vision of the Arrow of Apollo, which she says will open the tomb of Athena on Kobol. The scriptures say that Kobol will point the way to Earth, and opening the tomb will provide the answer.
- Roslin takes advantage of Starbuck's belief in the Lords of Kobol to get her to do what she wants. She first convinces Starbuck that Laura is the "prophet" spoken of in the Sacred Scrolls, then reveals to her that Adama lied about Earth and claims that she can find out where it is if Starbuck helps her.
- Starbuck steals the captured Cylon Raider at Roslin's order and takes off for Kobol, intending to retrieve the Arrow of Apollo from the Colonial history museum at Delphi.
[edit] Characters
- Starbuck is apparently very religious.
[edit] Referbacks
Miniseries: When Adama asks Starbuck what she's doing when she steals the Raider, Starbuck responds "Bringing the cat home."
