You're looking well yourself. *smiles*

Saul actually has standing orders in the event that happens. I am to be relieved of command and placed in the brig until the ... situation is sorted out.

If the Cylons hadn't come back...?

There are other, probably more important, questions I could ask, but I hope you won't consider it selfish that I chose that one.

*soft smile* Not at all.

If the Cylons hadn't come back ... I would have needed a place to stay during my visits to New Caprica. And eventually ... permanently.

I think we would've liked that.

*wry smile*

Damn Cylons.

Why do you keep forgiving me?

[admiral_adama]

You've made mistakes, Kara, not committed crimes. Even with most crimes you do your time and get out eventually. *sighs* You punish yourself a helluva lot worse than I could.

And you're family.

I've heard it said, Admiral, that you credit your son and the president as the only things dividing your strategy from mine. Do you find it to the credit of one more than the other, or did it truly take both to turn you into the man you are?

[admiral_adama]

There's no quantifying between them. It took both of them to convince me that giving humanity a chance at survival was more important than waging all-out war with the Cylons. The President showed me the stakes. Lee reminded me of what I stood to lose.

If you had known President Roslin's plan to steal my baby...?

[admiral_adama]

You saw what happened the minute I found out, Lieutenant.

Of course, at the time she made her decision, your status was still much more ambiguous. But Helo was still one of my officers, so I would have done my damnedest to find out the reasoning behind the President's plan and come up with alternatives.
