Drabble #1: Orientation
Orientation
Rating: G
Character: Billy
100 words for bantha_fodder who asked for Billy on the Galactica. No spoilers.
Billy silently counts off his footsteps as he walks through the corridor. Put him down in Caprica City and he can - could - find his way anywhere. But this battlestar confuses him.
He might be willing to let that ride, but his actions reflect upon the president. Every time he stops to ask for directions, he fears her diminishment.
While she sleeps, he shuttles to the Galactica, ostensibly to deliver a report to the commander. In truth, he’s here to get his bearings. Because a good aide is always one step ahead. And Billy hates looking the fool a second time.
