The Leoben Conoy incident#
The Cylon infiltrator Leoben Conoy, a Number Two model, had escaped to the Gemenon Traveler during the Fall. Hidden aboard, he cracked the Colonial military's wireless traffic and listened in on the fleet, until the ship's crew found him and its captain contacted President Laura Roslin. Lieutenant Kara "Starbuck" Thrace was assigned to interrogate him. After the interrogation, Roslin had Conoy ejected into space from the Gemenon Traveler's airlock.
