   Battlestar Galactica 2024 stuff (2/2)

   [continued from previous message]   
      
   groundbreaking, innovative, and captivating. It will try to appeal to   
   both the old and new fans of the franchise, and to attract a new   
   generation of viewers.   
      
   The new Battlestar Galactica series is expected to launch in 2024, and   
   it will be available exclusively on Peacock. It will be a long-awaited   
   and exciting addition to the sci-fi genre, and to the Battlestar   
   Galactica legacy. So say we all!   
      
   Now, you might be curious, how will the new series begin? Well, I have   
   a possible opening scene that will start the new series from the exact   
   moment of the closing scene of the 2004 series and tie it in all   
   together for old and new fans alike. The scene will be so remarkable   
   that everyone who knows anything about Battlestar Galactica will be   
   shocked and speaking about it for years to come. Here it is:   
      
   The scene opens with a montage of shots of the humans and the Cylons   
   living on Earth, blending in with the primitive humans, farming,   
   hunting, building, teaching, learning, loving, and dying. We see   
   glimpses of the familiar faces of the main characters, as well as some   
   of the new ones. We hear a voice-over narration by an angelic version   
   of Number Six, who says:   
      
   “150,000 years ago, a group of refugees from a distant star system   
   arrived on this planet. They were the survivors of a devastating war   
   between two races: the humans and the Cylons. They had been searching   
   for a new home, a new hope, a new Earth. They found it here. They   
   decided to leave behind their technology, their history, their   
   identity, and start anew. They hoped to create a peaceful and   
   harmonious society, where humans and Cylons could coexist as one. They   
   hoped to break the cycle of violence and hatred that had plagued them   
   for millennia. They hoped to be the ancestors of a better future.”   
      
   The montage ends with a shot of Hera, the human-Cylon hybrid, running   
   in a field, holding the hands of her parents, Athena and Helo. She   
   looks happy and innocent, unaware of her destiny. The voice-over   
   continues:   
      
   “They had a special child, a miracle, a bridge between two worlds. Her   
   name was Hera. She was the first of her kind, the first human-Cylon   
   hybrid. She was the mitochondrial Eve of all modern humans, the mother   
   of us all. She carried the genetic legacy of both races, the hope of   
   both races, the fate of both races. She was the key to everything.”   
      
   The shot fades to black, and we hear the familiar sound of a Cylon   
   detector, a device that was used to identify Cylons among humans. The   
   sound is followed by a beep, indicating a positive result. The   
   voice-over says:   
      
   “But they were not alone. They were not the only ones who came to this   
   planet. They were not the only ones who had a plan. They were not the   
   only ones who had a destiny. They were not the only ones who had a   
   child.”   
      
   The screen flashes with the title: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.   
      
   The scene cuts to a modern-day laboratory, where a group of scientists   
   are conducting an experiment. They are wearing white coats and   
   protective goggles, and they are surrounded by high-tech equipment.   
   They are testing a sample of DNA, extracted from a fossilized bone.   
   One of the scientists says:   
      
   "Okay, we have the results   
      
   One of the scientists says:   
      
   “Okay, we have the results. The DNA sample is from a Homo sapiens   
   sapiens, dating back to about 150,000 years ago. Nothing unusual   
   there.”   
      
   Another scientist says:   
      
   “Except for one thing. Look at this. The sample has a strange anomaly.   
   It has a segment of DNA that is not human. It is not from any known   
   species on Earth. It is… alien.”   
      
   The first scientist says:   
      
   “What? That’s impossible. How can that be? Are you sure this is not a   
   contamination or a mistake?”   
      
   The second scientist says:   
      
   “I’m sure. I’ve checked and double-checked. This is real. This is a   
   genuine alien DNA. And it’s not just a random mutation. It’s a   
   functional gene. It codes for a protein that is involved in cellular   
   respiration. It’s like… it’s like this person had a hybrid metabolism.   
   Half human, half alien.”   
      
   The first scientist says:   
      
   “That’s incredible. That’s amazing. That’s… that’s…”   
      
   The second scientist says:   
      
   “That’s what?”   
      
   The first scientist says:   
      
   “That’s her. That’s Hera. That’s the mitochondrial Eve. That’s the   
   mother of us all.”   
      
   The second scientist says:   
      
   “Who?”   
      
   The first scientist says:   
      
   “Hera. The child of the prophecy. The child of the gods. The child of   
   the humans and the Cylons. The child who came to this planet 150,000   
   years ago, with a group of refugees from a distant star system. The   
   child who carried the genetic legacy of both races, the hope of both   
   races, the fate of both races. The child who was the key to   
   everything.”   
      
   The second scientist says:   
      
   “What are you talking about? What prophecy? What gods? What humans and   
   Cylons? What refugees? What star system? What key?”   
      
   The first scientist says:   
      
   “Didn’t you watch the show? The show that changed everything. The show   
   that revealed everything. The show that ended everything. The show   
   that started everything. The show that was the truth. The show that   
   was the legend. The show that was the history. The show that was the   
   future. The show that was… Battlestar Galactica.”   
      
   The screen flashes with the title: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.   
      
   The scene ends with a shot of the Earth, zooming out to reveal the   
   stars, and then the logo of Peacock, the streaming service that will   
   air the new series.
