Apollo...
OK, I'm playing devil's advocate here. It is strange that Puppis says that Apollo told him he would return, but I guess that's Apollo's nature, not wanting to hurt a little boy who has his hopes up...
BUT, the part that I find intrigueing is Apollo's steadfast policy against using his blaster until he finds out about the Cylon connection. Granted, he was not too sure if Cylons were around, but he himself states at the beginning that if they didn't really know what Cylons were, then they weren't in force on Equellis. Based on that, he could have taken out Red Eye earlier in the story.
In fact, my main point about this is that he basically lets Bootes get killed with his rigid stance with not having his blaster. Then, right after Bootes is shot, Apollo learns of Red Eye's origins and then he takes his blaster out and shoots Red Eye.
Seems to me that Bootes was sacrificed needlessly...
