An out came several men in an advanced, golden armor, all but one of whom were wearing golden helmets. The Colonials noticed that the Earth men's armor each a an odd, two-headed golden eagle on their torsos. The brown-haired man stepped off the shuttle, extending his hand to the President, saying:"Good to meet you, ma'am, Commander, you may call me the Stranger, for now." Adama, curious, asks:"Why are you called the Stranger? And, why are you people all wearing armor? And why are you the only one with their helmet off?" The Stranger answered the Commander:"I am called that because it's my favorite title and the others would freak you out. We all wear armor because it's cool and protects us better than your flak jackets ever could. As to why I'm the only Earth man here NOT wearing a helmet, it's because you WON'T like what you see under their helmets." Laura Roslin then interrupted, also curious:"Why? I mean, what's the problem?" The Stranger answered her:"Well, Madame President, they look just like me, and ARE me! Want to see? Boys, show 'em your faces, if you please!" The Earth men in the shuttle then removed their helmets to show that the Stranger was, in fact, telling the truth! Several of Galactica's crew immediately fainted, and Adama shouted:"CYLONS!" Every armed Colonial in the bay drew their guns and aimed at the identical Earth men. The Stranger put up his hands in alarm, saying:"Whoa, whoa! Look, we're NOT Cylons, okay? Yes, we know about the frakking skinjob imitators in your fleet, but we're SO NOT THEM. We've actually been CHASING the damned bastards all over this half of the galaxy, AND we can PROVE that we're fully human, alright? Now, may I please get a tour of your ship before someone here blows my FUCKING head off?! Hmmm? It won't hurt for you to just let me look around, now could it? In the meantime, the other mes here will be happy to answer your questions and compare our two peoples' technology, if you're curious." Adama answered hi:"Sure, it couldn't hurt. Come with us, then, Stranger." The Stranger then answered:"Great! I'll be waiting for you outside, then", and walked out of the hanger bay. Adama then pointed to two marines nearby:"You two, stay on this guy AT ALL TIMES, understand? Now, let's go." The President, Adama, and their marines then walked out to catch up with the Stranger. The identical Earth men then announced to the fuming Colonials below them:"Attention, crew of the Galactica and you other people, we will now take any questions you may have!" With that, the entire room began clamoring to ask questions of the men from Earth.
