"This is XO Tigh. As the ranking officer on the ship, I am declaring martial law. All functions and ordinances of the civilian government is suspended indefinitely.
All matters will be reported to the military tribunal. Any suspects will be swiftly dealt with."
Executive Officer Saul Tigh
"Open up."
In the brig, Athena looked up as Tigh and two guards swept into her cell.
"Piece of ****. You are confirmed Cylon, so don't ****ing deny it."
"I never --"
*smack!*
The cell lopsided as Athena reeled from the blow.
"Don't frack with me, bitch. Tell me who the other Cylons are."
"I -- " Athena gasped, spitting blood, "I don't kn -- "
Tigh hit her with a right hook, sending her sprawling, her tied wrists twisting painfully as the chair fell with her.
"You know, you piece of ****. Fracking."
Tigh kicked her.
"Piece."
Another kick.
"Of ****!"
"LEAVE HER ALONE, YOU COWARD!" Helo's voice screamed from the other side of the brig.
Paying him no mind, Tigh crunched next to Athena and said quietly "I could do a lot worse. A lot worse. Unless you give me a name."
As the guards looked at each other uncomfortably, something popped into Athena's mind. She did not know how, but she just
knew.
Against the background of Helo's shouts, "Brother Cavil," came a quiet voice.
"That fracking religious nut?!"
Tigh stood up and turned to walk out of the cell. He paused and said "If he's not Cylon, you will fracking wish you were dead," before continuing out. With an uncomfortable glance at Athena, the guards followed, closing the cell door behind them.
Three Vipers landed on the ship known as Cloud Nine. Cloud Nine, with its artificial sunlight and park, was designated the ship for government officials to conduct official business.
Cloud Nine
Brother Cavil often gives sermons to his followers aboard the ship.
And he is giving one such sermon as XO Tigh and two dozens of marines swarmed into the hall. "Cavil, you are under arrest," said Tigh.
Brother Cavil smiled. "Who? Me? I am but a citizen dedicated to spreading the word of our Gods."
Brother Cavil
"Shut it with your fracking lies. Check him."
As the marines herded, sometimes physically pushing, the attendees out of the lecture hall, a still smiling Cavil found himself surrounded by four marines, assault rifles aimed at him. His smile faded as a Specialist approached. "You dare desecrate my flesh? The Gods forbid it!"
The Specialist hesitated. "Fracking religious ********. Test him. We're not going to go extinct smiling because some gods said so!" Tigh snapped.
Cavil knew not to run, because it was hopeless. As the needle plunged into his arm, but before the color could turn, he pushed the Specialist away, drew out a gun hidden in his coat and --
Four rifles fired, riddling his body with bullets. Brother Cavil stood but for a moment before dropping to the ground, dead. The needle, still sticking out of his arm, read "POSITIVE."
