Starbuck’s Colonial signal is weak, but she and Leoben go looking for it. In the woods, they find some pieces of a Viper, including a panel that contains the same number as Starbuck’s Viper. Leoben is getting a bad feeling about all of this, and he’s acting very uncomfortable. It’s weird seeing him uneasy.

The walk out to a field and Starbuck sees viper cockpit, but Leoben tries to stop her from going over to it. He seems to know exactly what she’s going to find: a dead body sitting in the Viper. Starbuck lifts up the helmet to see a tuft of blonde hair. She rips off the dog tags from the body and they feature the name “K. Thrace.”

What the frak?!?! Starbuck just found herself, dead, in the same Viper she flew back to Galactica on. As soon as Leoben sees it, he backs away quickly. She asks about the Hybrid who called her the “”harbinger of death,” wondering if it’s true. “If that’s me lying there, then what am I?” she asks. That’s a good question, and one that Leoben avoids by walking away.

While most people would be put into a catatonic state after seeing themselves dead, Starbuck rolls her dead body up and burns it on a funeral pyre. Later she tries to tell Lee about what she found, but because of Dualla’s suicide, the moment isn’t quite right.
