Danny Concannon looked to the sky and saw the sun become eclipsed by, what appeared to be, a burning spaceship. Standing there, on the White House lawn, he imagines what he would be doing if his legs would receive the instructions his brain ordered. Run inside, tell C.J. who in turn would frantically (but somehow, in her way, manage collection) inform the President of the invasion at hand. The Sun's UV rays zap his eyes, bringing him back to real life because sadly this is not a dream. The thing has landed and he hasn't moved.
Kara Thrace sees this man as a threat, a threat because she is a military officer and she has been taught, much like a small child would about strangers, that anything unknown is not good and should be avoided. So, instead of making friends with, whatever it is she assumes Danny is (Cylon no doubt), she pulls a gun on him.
"WHOA," his hands automatically fling up to his shoulders and he hopes to God she understands this sign of surrender.
"Who are you?"
It takes him a beat, shocked that she at least seems to be flesh and blood and human but he has read the books and likes to think himself hip on alien mind games. Then again, she has a gun pointed directly where it kills and he's not above cowadice.
"Danny Concannon, I work at the White House, I'm a reporter." It's just one long word.
"You a Cylon?"
"What the hell is a Cylon!?"
She seems to put the safety back on the gun but she doesn't lower it or take her finger off the trigger. He liked to think it progress when she inched closer to him.
"What planet is this," she's no longer yelling.
"Um, Earth," his voice cracks.
"No frakkin' way!" Kara's eyes widen and she begins to laugh. "This is incredible. Danny was it?"
He nods trying to figure out who exactly was the crazy one.
Her hand extended she says, "Captain Kara Thrace. How does it feel knowing you just saved the human race?"
Obediently he shakes her provided hand and swallows hard.
"I didn't even know the human race needed saving..." he mumbled as Kara went back to the Raptor with a smile on her face and new found hope.
