Loyalty.
One little word with so much wrapped up inside of it.
It’s something that should be earned, honoured and cherished. It’s never given easily and if it is then it probably isn’t true loyalty.
Before the collapse of the Colonies I would say my loyalties lied with myself, my mother and whatever crew I was serving with at the time. After the Colonies, it became to our mission, not to my father because at this time I was still angry at him and I didn’t know anyone well enough to consider myself loyal.
The one person that earned my loyalty was Laura Roslin, for taking on a tremendous responsibility and handling herself well under pressurized circumstances. I was willing to turn my back on a direct order from the Commander, my father, himself.
It’s funny how far you’re willing to go for loyalty, how much you’re willing to give up all for a word you can’t even begin to fathom.
Mine has shifted so many times but one thing has remained true, I’m loyal to myself and my beliefs first before everything and everyone else.
If I don’t feel something’s right I’m going to put a gun to your head and tell you so, frak the consequences
