<!-- | |||
Fleeing Caprica City and then the planet itself, Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]] is shocked to discover that [[Caprica-Six|the woman he had a relationship with on Caprica]] lives on - inside his head. | |||
At first he tries to dismiss her presence as a manifestation of his own guilt over what has happened to his people, and his role in it. However, Six suggests that she is in fact a controlled hallucination resulting from a chip she implanted inside his head. However, while some of her actions - such as terrifying Baltar into constructing a genuine [[Cylon detector]] ([[Bastille Day]]) - very much suggest she is a part of his own psyche, this is countered by her underlying actions and deeds, all of which represent a furtherance of those aims and goals she expressed as a corporeal entity. Some of these are characteristics never witnessed by Baltar himself - such as her jealous reaction to [[Sharon Valerii (Galactica copy)|Boomer]]'s visit with Baltar in his lab ([[Flesh and Bone]]), which closely mirrors the jealousy [[Six#Caprican_Overseer_Copies|she]] shows towards the [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Valerii copy on Caprica]] ([[Litmus]], [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]). | |||
Her existence as a personality download within Baltar's brain is a view he himself comes to embrace, as he relies more and more on her for guidance and insight into Cylon ways - so much so that she deliberately suggests that her presence within him is something of which other Cylons have no knowledge. However, in her relentless drive to get Baltar to fully accept the Cylon concept of God, it certainly '''seems''' for a time that not only are other Cylons in the fleet aware of her "existence", they are in communication with her: hence the arrival of "Shelly Godfrey" onboard ''[[Galactica]]'' with her accusations of treachery at the precise time Six ceases to communicate with Baltar. | |||
[[image:brainscan.jpg|left|Baltar recieves his brain scan from Dr. Cottle, as Six looks on in amusement.|thumb]] | |||
When Baltar begins to deny Six's actual existence, she turns the tables on him by assuming a more 'natural' appearance and telling him that he is, indeed, "crazy" ([[Home, Part II]]). Baltar asks Dr. [[Cottle]] to perform a brain scan to check for anything unusual. "Nothing, nothing, more nothing" is the gruff diagnosis from Cottle. However, later in the same episode Baltar comes to believe that the Six he sees could could not possibly be a hallucination caused by him going "crazy", because she seems to know things (such as that [[Sharon Valerii (Caprica copy)|Sharon Valerii]] was pregnant) that his subconscious mind has no way of knowing. When confronted with this, Six agrees that she is not a product of Baltar's mind, although scans show no chip in his brain. When Baltar asks her what she really was, Six only replies that "I'm an angel of God sent here to protect you, to guide you and to love you". While Baltar may not have a conventionally visible chip in his head, it could conceivably be organically-based (like the [[Cylon agent]]s) and indistinguishable from other tissues in his brain or central nervous system. There was thought by many to be a remote chance that Baltar could be a Cylon agent himself (see the [[Cylon agent speculation]] article for arguments for and against Baltar as a Cylon agent), but later episodes have all but disproven this. | |||
[[image:KobolHallu.jpg|thumb|Hallucinations on Kobol.]] | |||
Not only does Baltar's former lover appear to him as herself in the context of his physical surroundings, but she can also make him see or experience an environment which is not real. Six has often interacted with him in the memory of his lakeside house on Caprica, which now exists purely in Gaius' mind ([[33]]). These visions have become less frequent as Dr. Baltar feels less nostalgic about his former dwelling ([[Resurrection Ship, Part I]]) . | |||
The best example of Six's powers of illusion is during Baltar's ordeal on Kobol, in which he had a number of mass hallucinations. The first was during the traumatic crash of [[Crashdown|Lt. Crashdown]]'s Raptor. Six appeared to save Baltar's life by leading him through the flames unharmed. In reality, he was saved by Crashdown. The next vision was of the Forum and the City of the Gods, which he saw complete and undamaged. In this hallucination, Six leads him down the aisle of the Great Opera House onto the stage, where a white cradle awaits them. Six reveals to him there the plan that God has for Baltar and she, to create the [[Hera|next generation of God´s Children]]. (Interestingly enough, we later see that same cradle in [[New Caprica|New Caprica]], where baby Hera is kept.) | |||
The next hallucination in Kobol also deals with the Cylon hybrid child. Baltar has a vivid dream in which ''Galactica'''s [[SAR]] team has arrived, with Adama leading the mission. Adama takes Baltar's child, and proceeds to drown her. When Baltar wakes up, he realizes that he must stop at nothing to ensure the survival of his baby, which seems to be exactly what Six wanted to see happen. Later, she tells him that one of their party will betray the others during the mission to destroy the Cylon missile battery preventing their rescue, and that to prove his worthiness as a father he must act like a real man for a change. This prompts him to take part in the mission as a scout, and later to kill Crashdown when he threatens [[Cally]]'s life. | |||
When the [[Pegasus (RDM)|Battlestar Pegasus]] joins with the Fleet, Dr. Baltar is asked to examine their Cylon prisoner, [[Gina]]. Both the doctor and his Internal-Six are shocked and horrified to find that Gina (another Number Six version) has been tortured and gang-raped by the Pegasus crew. Six tearfully asks Baltar to help Gina, and he vows to do everything he can ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]). Her concern is replaced by jealousy and animosity, however, when she begins to suspect that Gaius is developing feelings for her "3-dimensional duplicate." Baltar learns from the suicidally depressed Gina that the large, previously unidentified vessel in the Cylon fleet following Galactica is the Resurrection Ship, where Cylon consciousnesses are downloaded into new bodies following the demise of their previous ones. Giving this information to Admiral [[Helena Cain|Cain]] and Commander [[William Adama|Adama]] results in the destruction of the ship and thus the permanent deaths of the Cylon agents aboard the [[Basestar (RDM)|Basestars]] guarding it, and of the attached squadrons of [[Raiders]]. Six proclaims that causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Cylons is an unforgivable sin, but Gina says that God will forgive Gaius and her. Baltar chooses to listen to Gina, and his internal Six temporarily vanishes ([[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]). | |||

Version vom 19. Oktober 2006, 21:14 Uhr
Nach seiner Flucht von Caprica muss Dr. Gaius Baltar erschreckt feststellen, dass die Frau, mit der er ein Verhältnis hatte und die sich als zylonische Agentin herausstellte, in seinem Kopf weiterlebt. Zuerst ignoriert er die blonde Frau und versucht sie sich als eine Art Manifestation seiner Schuldgefühle zu erklären. Six bezeichnet sich selber als eine durch einen in den Kopf des Doktors implantierten Chip erzeugte Illusion.
Genauso wie die leibhaftige Version von Number Six es in der Vorbereitungsphase für den großen Angriff getan hat, so nimmt auch die Six in Baltars Kopf immer wieder Einfluss auf die Handlungen und Entscheidungen von Gaius Baltar. So überredet sie ihn beispielsweise, einen funktionierenden Zylonendetektor zu konstruieren oder für das Amt des Vizepräsidenten zu kandidieren. Baltar lässt sich immer mehr von Six leiten und es gelingt ihm immer weniger, eigene Entscheidungen zu fällen. Es scheint so, als wüssten die Zylonen nicht nur von dieser Illusion, sondern stünden auch in Kontakt zu ihr. Nur so lässt sich erklären, dass sich Number Six kurz vor dem Auftauchen einer realen Version ihrer selbst (Shelley Godfrey) zurückzieht und sich nicht bei Baltar meldet.
Als Baltar einen erneuten Versuch unternimmt, sie zu ignorieren, dreht sie den Spieß um und behauptet, ein Chip würde nicht existieren und er wäre einfach nur verrückt. Daraufhin konsultiert Baltar Dr. Cottle und lässt sich untersuchen. Dieser findet tatsächlich keinen Chip in Baltars Kopf. Trotzdem bezweifelt Baltar, das er verrückt sei und sich die blonde Zylonin nur einbilden würde. Six weiß Sachen, die Baltar nicht wissen konnte, wie beispielsweise Boomers Schwangerschaft. Damit konfrontiert gesteht Six, dass sie keine Einbildung sei und bezeichnet sich statt dessen als ein von Gott gesandter Engel, der Baltar leiten und beschützen soll.
Zumindest letzteres gelingt ihr kurz nach dem Absturz eines Raptors auf Kobol, wenn sie den Doktor durch das brennende Wrack in die rettende Freiheit geleitet. Zumindest erscheint es den Doktor so, denn in Wahrheit ist es Crashdown, der den Doktor aus dem Raptor befreit hat. In einer weiteren Vision leitet sie den Doktor zu einer Krippe, in der ein Baby liegt. Sie bezeichnet das Kind als nächste Generation von Gottes Kindern und Baltar als dessen Vater. Weitehin zeigt sie ihm einen Adama, der dieses Kind in einem See ertränkt. Baltar erwacht und ist nun überzeugt, dieses Baby unter allen Umständen zu beschützen.
Six erklärt Baltar später, dass es sich bei diesem Kind nicht um sein leibliches Kind handelt, sondern um das Baby der schwageren Zylonin Boomer. Tatsächlich gelingt es Baltar, die Unterbrechung dieser Schwangerschaft, angeortnet von Präsidentin Roslin, zu verhindern, so dass das Baby geboren werden kann. Ein allwissendes Wesen ist diese Version von Six nicht, denn auch sie fällt auf den Bluff rein, dass Sharon und Helos Baby gestorben sei.
