They become involved in time travel, going back to Hitler's Germany to stop a rebel Galactician, Commander Xavier from trying to change the future with the help of a TV Journalist. They eventually find a way to help Earth's scientists and outwit the Cylons in their time. At some point they send out a group of children called the Super Scouts their mission is to become one with the Earth people. They find some difficulty with Earth's gravity and physiology giving them the need to adjust how they live.
