They got to him just as he slipped into unconsciousness.​

     The Azure used matter dissolvers to get rid of the debris around Trevor. They attached a device no bigger than a quarter to his chest. 

     Thirty seconds later, he opened his eyes. Warmth flooded through him like liquid fire. He felt himself heal. He ​felt it.

​     "What the..."

​     "You got beat up pretty bad," Gramps told him. Adama was at his side. "It'll take that healer about an hour to get you back to full strength."

​     "I...You..."

     "You're going to be fine, Trevor. Don't worry. The Azure hand out healers to anyone who's been hurt." 

​     Gramps turned to Adama. "You fight well," he said. "Why haven't we run into each other before this?"

​     "Perhaps we have and you just don't remember it."

​     "You're on the wrong side of the war, you know. You're on the side of The Fours. You're on the side of entropy."

​     "Entropy is nature. It is inevitable." 

     "You're on the side of cancer. Why?'

     "Who says I'm on anybody's side?"

     "One more question: the flaming red you and Adam. What was that all about?"

​     Adama smiled as she used her anti-gravs to rise up through the hole at the top of the cavern.
