Arrive on present day earth? I can well imagine that intelligence report as they orbit on the dark side of the moon...
[Gaeta to Roslin and Adama]: ...Trucks, tanks, water borne vehicles...not so good. But there's more small arms down there than anyone can count or use. Lots of missiles, short range mind you. The atmospheric aircraft aren't much use on their own, but they do have some interesting composite materials...Dradis couldn't even pick some of them up. And they have missile ships that go under the water too. A lot of those.
[Adama, dryly]: Yes, well - if the Cylons invade by water, our lost cousins will be ready for them.
[Roslin, looking at report sternly]: Mr. Gaeta, there is a typographical error in the column under nuclear weapons here. There's enough nukes listed here to blow up every remotely habitable planet within a 1000 light years of Earth with enough left over to nuke each of the 12 Colonies all over again...
[Gaeta]: Uhm...that's not a typo Madam President.
[Adama]: 65,000 nuclear weapons? You can't be serious?
[Roslin]: If we had the years to rebuild a fleet, and put those nukes on new missiles...65,000...
[Gaeta]: There are unused pits for even more than that , we think. They are...rather advanced in nuclear weapon technology, actually.
[Adama]: Just what are these nukes for Mr. Gaeta?
[Gaeta]: Near as we can tell, the major factions in the 13th colony have them pointed at each other, sir...
**Roslin & Adama look at each other in stunned silence**
[Roslin]: That will be all, Mr. Gaeta.
