"Tabuik" refers to the towering funeral biers carried during the commemoration. In early 2010, Samuel was cast as Riley Biers in "". D'Anna Biers was a reporter for the Fleet News Service. But now Cavil uses the resurrection technology to reactivate Biers. Helo and the Leader of the Eights board the Hub and leave with Biers. Adama confiscates the footage, but Biers secretly keeps a copy. His death was reported nationally, and biers were held nationwide. Biers declares that Roslin is herself a Cylon. The severely wounded were placed on biers in preparation for the withdrawal. Biers rushes to Baltar's side, and finds that he is still alive. Biers are generally smaller than the coffin or casket they support for reasons of appearance. Biers conducts frank interviews with crew members and captures some pilots' hijinks on camera. Biers is surprised to see Sharon "Boomer" Valerii having defected to join the Ones. On board the hub, Biers takes the opportunity to kill Brother Cavil, and Boomer flees. After Kat overdoses on stimulants and botches a landing, Biers follows her to "Galactica"s sickbay.
