After completing a scheduled project of the crew members aboard Battlestar Galactica, the blond undercover Cylon agent prepairs to take the next available shuttle and hide within the fleet once again. An adequate amount of information concerning the large ship's occupants was acquired along with confirming footage that the first cylon/human child had been born and was healthy.
Just prior to boarding the shuttle, a stranger tapped the reporter on her shoulder. Casual as ever, she turned. The individual was tall and of an ordinary completion. Underneath his unshaven exterior, showed a human about age thirty to forty. He produced a pleasant smile as a leather bound book was placed in one of her empty hands. "Sorry to disturb you miss but I have something that you should take a look at."
It was not uncommon for members of the fleet to have books on board. A great deal of human habits tend to linger for countless ages. Still the book was in perfect mint condition and the writing on the front in an unknown language. This presented its self as a trivial matter for the undercover cylon. The fleet had been in space looking for Earth for several months now. Who had the time to create a book when everyone was more concerned about survival and fighting off the next cylon attack? Remembering to initiate common human social activity she looked back up. "Thank you very..." He was gone as quickly as he showed up and vanished somewhere in the crowd. A snapshot of his face was stored somewhere that humans called the collective consciousness for further analysis later. She then turned to board the shuttle once more.
The human like cylons met in in an undisclosed location hidden on a smaller vessel. The reporter was then debriefed about the crew's activities and then the video was shown. Before the cylon council departed, a dark skinned male asked, "Is there any more business that needs attending to at the moment?"
"Yes there is." The brown leather bound document was then produced and presented to the others. "It's language is one that is unfamiliar to me but we can have it deciphered in no time with all of us working together."
Approximately six hours in human time passed before the code was cracked and another thirty-five before the text had been deciphered and read.
"This is interesting indeed. At least the religious aspects are quite similar to what we know to be true."
"Could it have been written by a human? For thousands of years they have all held on to the belief in multiple gods and false idols. This has thrown the humans into a repetitive cycle. They don't truly grow or evolve as a species should."
"Yet they are astounding free thinkers capable of great deeds. If only they could let go of their never ending setbacks such as rage, bigotry and the slaughter of other species as well as themselves with no just cause."
Another blond settles back in her chair to momentarily contemplate an idea. "I would like to make a motion to abort our present course of action with the humans and suggest a new tactic in dealing with them. The video has given us a better look into the lives of these intelligent animals. When they are not hurting themselves and the environment around them, humans can be somewhat pleasant and intriguing. Yes, I do believe intriguing computes with my circuits."
"I agree. We should implement the idea's presented to us in this document and give humanity a chance."
"Still, up until now, the end result has always been the same. We all come close to annihilating each other yet a human remnant always remains. I think it is time to shake things up a bit."
"Do you have a plan?"
"We shall proceed as the book describes it. Rather then letting them continue on their present course, we have to slow down their technological growth. Less then fifty-thousand humans remain alive. This is a sufficient amount to keep the gene pool clean. They shall proceed to Earth and we will leave them alone. The fear of us will remain but they will think they have finally given us the slip. A message will be dispatched to all cylon raiders to not engage unless ordered otherwise through this committee. Once Earth has been located, the humans will land and become preoccupied with procreation and establishing a land base. Some of our raiders will be dispatched to create a lush garden while the rest of us wait for the Battlestar Galactica to empty out."
"We must remain under their radar and hidden from sight. As many of their ancient text must be removed for this the work efficiently. I will start preparing undercover ground troops for this job. The humans will have to eventually come to understand that there is only one God and not multiple deities."
"Since human males are able to copulate with female cylons and effectively produce an offspring, a human male must be removed and kept separate from the group and prepared to be raised in the garden. For a time he will be on his own but, when he is old enough, we shall present him with a female cylon to be his wife."
"Once the majority of humans have landed, we must send the coordinates to our cylon raiders to destroy the Battlestar Galactica and all remaining fleet vessels. The coordinates will have to jump them as close to the ships as possible. This will enable a clean launch of our missiles and quick escape. Once this is accomplished, all that remains for a time is to slow down considerably their resilience of mechanical engineering until we come up with the technology to impregnate a human female."
It will require occasional visits to Earth and inconspicuous spying. Unless required, we stay out of sight but not too far away. "
"What shall this project be called?"
"We shall call it the Adam Project."
The cylons then closed the strange new book. On it's cover read "The Holy Bible."
