    But yeah, it's a shame...

    Some names I've thought of are Copacia, Indelia, Frull, and Pook-La-Doo.
    But the depressing thing is in the case of Titan, Enceladus or Europa, they need not be unknowns! With current tech we could be there... With the will! Instead we're too preoccupied with blowing the $hit out of each other!

    See sig!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Does it matter? The Cylons will just destroy any colonies we put on them anyway.

    I still haven't forgiven you for beating my score in Space Invaders, Mitchi-I'm-not-here-all-that-often!
    I'm kidding, we're cool.
    Cylons?! But those are way in the past! Are you saying they can time travel?
    I think the Daleks are more of a threat...
    In any case, yeah...

    The Cylons were created by man. They evolved. They rebelled. There are many copies. They learned time travel.

    And they have a plan.
