Obedience to Authority
She didn’t have any friends.
Leading wasn’t about friendship.
She saw how they looked at each other.
The black bird would bring them down-the admiral and his president.
There would be no group consultation.
She stood straight and tall, her dark eyes focused on her alter-ego.
Adama’s a soldier. He’ll do as he’s told. For him, there is no other way.
Roslin’s my nemesis. She’s dangerous, unpredictable, jealous. I can see it in her eyes.
I will shoot her dog.
Maybe then she’ll roll over.
They stared at each other in the mirror.
Cain’s sock puppet monkey was silent.
