Why does everyone scream when the elevator takes them to the basement?


What do they see when the doors open that terrifies them so? Ovions with pitchforks? Wouldn't that make them more likely to laugh?

They probably saw Ovions caccooning people and shoving them into the honeycombs.

But the honeycombs were far away from the elevators

Good question. I always thought it was a combination of seeing the Ovions as well as the Cylons.

Remember, the colonial warrior was in the elevator with Cassie, and he looks just as petrified. I doubt he'd be afraid of Ovions, but seeing Cylons would do the trick.
