I'm feeling pretty much the same way, actually. And I was damn proud to get my comission.

[callsign_helo]

I thought as much. And you ought to be, you earned it and more.

[number_eight]

You outrank me now. *laughs* But still, it feels better that I earned it, somehow, like you said.

[callsign_helo]

As if you'd take orders. *smiles* And good, that's how it should feel. I'm glad.

I can't say that I agree with the President's choice regarding your child, I will say that much. And while I can not condone your actions regarding the Cylon prisoners, I do respect your ability to follow through on your convictions. But we're at war, Captain, and we're talking about the surivival of the species.

[callsign_helo]

And I'm talking about being a species that deserves survival, sir. The Major does recall that particular passage from the Admiral's speech?

Compromises have to be made. Somewhere, they have to be made.
