Vader on Cylon-Occupied Planet

Post by jegs2 »

Scenario: Vader has just been hurled from the destroyed Death Star in his damaged fighter. As he's looking for a place to set down his damaged ship, mysterious "Wormhole X" opens and he's now above a Cylon-occupied planet (one of the colonies taken over by the Cylons in the new series - yes, these are the new and improved toasters and humanoid cylons. As Vader sets down his ship and exits his cockpit, he sees two cylons (toaster-style) walking toward him. What is his course of action? How does he proceed from here? How do the cylons react to seeing Vader?

Vader sees two droids from the Clone Wars of a model he doesnt really recognize. With rather minimal effort he shreds them both in distaste.

The real question is whether or not Human Form Cylons will look "wrong" to Vader through the Force.

IIRC, Luke was able to sense that Guri was not human, though he wasn't able to determine that she was a droid. It's reasonable to assume that Vader, having more complete training than Luke, would be able to at the very least sense that the Human Form Cylons aren't human, if not be able to tell what they are.

Regarding the Cylons' reaction to Vader:

Considering Vader's strength in the Force, the Cylons might think he's somehow related to their God, although whether they think he's the archangel Michael-- on their side-- or Satan-- NOT on their side-- depends on Vader's actions.

Of course, if I met a guy who could magically crush my robotic bodyguards while strangling me without touching me, if that guy claimed he was an agent of God, who am I to argue?

I can imagine Vader making himself the Cylon leader, using Force chokes to silence anyone who argues against Vader's claim to be an agent of God.
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.

Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.

They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)
