Number Six: "Life has a melody, Gaius... A rhythm of notes that become your existence once played in harmony with God's plan. It's time to do your part and realize your destiny."
According to the Sacred Scrolls, man lived alongside the Gods in the birthplace place of humanity: the planet Kobol. In truth, humanity lived alongside its creation, the Cylons, who, over time, evolved into humanoid form. Though these humanoid Cylons were indistinguishable from their human creators, they were unable to procreate, instead relying on organic memory transfer to download their consciousness into new bodies after death.
Though in the ancient texts, Kobol was described as paradise, war and human sacrifice -- either figurative or literal -- plagued the planet. Humanity and the Cylons also came into conflict, forcing the humanoid Cylons to flee Kobol and travel to the distant planet Earth where they settled.
Two thousand years later, the human inhabitants of Kobol abandoned their world and journeyed to the Twelve Worlds, where the Twelve Tribes settled colonies. Over time the memory of what happened on Kobol faded, passing into cryptic legends portrayed in the Colonials' Sacred Scrolls, which referred to the Cylons only as a "Thirteenth Tribe".
