OOC: This prompt response contains spoilers for the fourth season of Battlestar Galactica, including 4.10 "Revelations," the mid-season finale.

I actually have looked into the slim possibility that I've simply gone insane. There's really no other explanation for the lack of reaction I've had to this whole thing. The whole frakking thing is pretty ( Read more... )

Hey, you never know. Your son could be a full Cylon.

Bad joke. I know. I'm just frakking scared of all of this and I still don't know what's going on with my own wife.

You can be a real ass sometimes, y'know? But at least you didn't jump ship the first chance you got like some other Cylons we know.

I can't even imagine what I'd be feeling right now if Cally was still alive, but Starbuck hasn't shot you yet. That's something.

You wanna throw some dirt at that Leoben model?

That's what everyone says to me lately.

Not yet, no. Not really sure what that means, though.

Sure. He's been standing too close to Kara anyway.

Dirt's all I see. Too bad we can't find a few rocks to lug at him. And that D'Anna model. I don't trust them.

She did save Tigh's ass from the launch tube, though.

Why am I the traitor? YOU are not human. WE are cylon. I was returning to our people. OUR PEOPLE.

Tell me, whose idea was it to start executing hostages? Because, honestly? I'd lay even bets on you or the Three.

You made your choice. Now live with it.

I made the right choice, Galen. We're not human. We don't belong with them. They can never see us as anything besides the enemy. Will you ever be trusted with anything again? Will the Admiral still love you? You deck crew? Or will you just be a frakking skinjob?

D'Anna said that they just wanted to love us. I was so sick of the secrets and the lies. I have nothing holding me to humanity, but my people - our people - want to love us. God loves us. There's nothing for us among the humans. Nothing but fear and suspicion.

Perhaps you can live with that. I can't.

It was D'Anna, by the way. I may have told her a few things about Lee Adama but she made the decision to execute the hostages.

You cut and run as soon as you saw a better deal. You've just proven that you can't be trusted. Is it because you don't think it's worth the time and trouble proving to them that we're still the same people we were before?

It doesn't matter what they think of me. It matters what I think of myself and I know that I'm not just another skinjob. Tigh and Sam? Yeah. It'll be hard, harder than anything, I'll wager. But I don't understand how you can just abandon them and live with yourself.

The Three's word means frak to me. If she wanted to negotiate in good faith, she should have let Roslin and Helo and the rest of the hostages go right off the bat. They want to love us. Like they loved us on New Caprica? They tortured us. They took Tigh's eye ( ... )
