"Revivify"
By A. Magiluna Stormwriter
"All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again."
-- Pythian Prophecy, Book of Pythia, Sacred Scrolls
"If you believe in the gods, then you believe in the cycle of time that we are all playing our parts in a story that is told again, and again, and again throughout eternity."
-- Laura Roslin, Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I
Floating.
Warmth surrounds me.
Caressing.
Teasing.
Comforting.
Calming.
I know where I am.
And in that instant, I know what has happened. All of it. The subterfuge, the lies, the treachery. How could this have happened?
And now I know what is coming. What is destined to be. How in the name of the One God can I fix this?
No, not just me. The five of us. Are the others still alive? Or has John recreated his personal holocaust against us and our makers yet again?
A dull ache spreads out from my chest to encompass my entire being. I know there's no trace of the poison Saul fed me, and yet my downloaded memories ensure that this body remembers it so clearly. I can still hear his tearful apologies as if reliving it again.
I don't blame him; it would be incredibly petty of me to do so. He didn't know any better. Frak, I didn't know any better at the time. I was simply trying to save my husband's life. And I'd do it again if I had to. Though I have to wonder if he knows now… Will he understand what happened? Or will he blame himself for the rest of his life? Lives. Whatever. Will we be reunited with all of our memories intact? Or will I never have the chance to see him again.
I told Saul we would be reborn again, return to each other again. Not even John could stop that. I wonder what has changed that I'm here and he's not. What game is John playing now?
And what of the others? Galen? Sam? Tory? Do they know yet? Do they understand just what we were? Are? Will be again? Will they look for me? Reunite the few that are left of the way it once was? Do your children even understand? Do they remember us?
What fate awaits me out in the world again?
Whatever John and his followers think they can do with me, they're wrong. I won't go quietly, not by a long shot. They owe their lives, their very existence, to me. To us. And if the others don't remember, I'll find a way to make sure they do. If it means I have to box every last copy of John to do it, I will.
For Tory.
For Sam.
For Galen.
For Saul.
For Daniel.
For all of us. Human and Cylon alike.
