WAR OF THE GODS INSTRUMENTAL FULL
Adama orders that Iblis be given a full working over, including a cranial probe and psycho-electron recall. Starbuck and Apollo talk to Adama, where Apollo comments that Iblis was being evasive and, as such, was not trustworthy.Sheba escorts Iblis to the Life Station so that Iblis can recuperate.Apollo offers that he would be glad to give Tigh a quick debriefing.
They bring Iblis back to Galactica, where he is introduced to a skeptical Colonel Tigh. The man is not fazed, claiming that they'd better hurry, as "They" were searching for him. Sheba and Apollo are unable to bear the sound. As they walk along, balls of light fly overhead. Apollo and Sheba inform the survivor that they'll bring him along. Apollo sends Starbuck to fetch a shuttle. Starbuck convinces Apollo that if they keep an eye on him, he shouldn't be able to do any damage. Apollo airs his concerns, stating that he may be a spy planted by those who caused the disappearance of the patrol. The three warriors discuss what they should do with him. The man offers to help them, claiming that his knowledge of the universe is "infinite." He grows more concerned, commenting that they'd better "be going.". There were people on the ship, which leads to him questioning them. When offered food, he claims that it is not food that he needs. Meanwhile, Sheba is talking to the man, who claims to be weary and drained of energy. Apollo questions how the man could survive without a mark on him. Starbuck and Apollo discuss the survivor they rescued. The man claims that the radion field is too strong, rendering the scanner useless. Apollo attempts to scan the survivor, finding that his scanner does not work. He also replies that there are no others like him on the planet. At the man's request, the trio leave the perimeter of the crater, as the sight discomforts him. When questioned, he tells them that he can help them and that the ship was destroyed by the " Great Powers" (not Cylons). The man claims that the radion levels are too high. When they try to investigate, they are told to stop by an unscathed humanoid man.
They come across the crater and the wreckage of a ship. Starbuck notices that there is an impact crater that could mean something large hit the area. As they begin landing, Sheba comments that the color of the vegetation is red. Apollo speculates that it is possible no one from the Colonies made it out "this far." Sheba questions why the planet is lifeless. Apollo and his team come across a habitable red planet. Tigh tells Adama that he doesn't like the implications of the seismic report the activity is too sudden for a core tremor and he postulates that it could be the result of four Vipers impacting simultaneously - or exploding while all four were on the ground. Despite Apollo's misgivings on having Sheba on the mission - as she is still dealing with the loss of her father, Cain, and Pegasus - they leave to investigate.
Adama tells Sheba, Apollo and Starbuck that Bojay's patrol went missing, and that a seismic event occurred just around the time they disappeared.As they are ready to go shower and get some drinks, Colonel Tigh informs them that there is an emergency meeting in the War Room. After the game, Boomer comments that he would like to beat Starbuck and Apollo just once.Meanwhile, the unsuspecting survivors of the Fleet watch the game of Triad played by Boomer, Starbuck, Apollo and a fourth individual.They subsequently encounter odd balls of light, which herald a larger ship made from light that overtakes the patrol and seems to incapacitate them. A recon patrol, lead by Bojay, scouts for possible threats to the Fleet.
