Yep, just wonderful.

I'm starting to sympathise more with Lee and his struggle (didn't think it would happen quite so soon) but Helo? He is gold! Pure gold. I love how he couldn't sit still and let things slide, and more importantly, I LOVE that Helo knocked some sense into Lee instead of looking for the culprits personally.

Adama giving Kara the emotional kick she needed to get her fighting spirit back was such a great scene. He was hard but not overboard like he was in 'Torn.' I love this line...The Admiral rolled his eyes and pulled the sheet back up, “I said warrior, not idiot. You can’t walk. Yet.”

When Lee saw Dee's name at the top of the list but didn't want to jump to any conclusions so he went to Kara for confirmation...it had me wondering. Surely Lee would know that Kara (cylon or not) wouldn't point any fingers. Was that Lee's way of having to avoid dealing with Dee? Does Lee think Dualla is incapable of such actions?

Besides, if Dee was going to answer for her part in her suffering, it would be to Kara and Kara alone.

I like that! But you know what? Just the fact that Kara's living and breathing would slide so far up Dee's butt and make her feel insecure that if nothing else happened to Dee, I wouldn't care.

Left, right, one fingered salute to the Marine, sunglasses on, provocative arch of the eyebrow for Tigh, slap of her flight suit against her thigh, left, right.

She could do it. She could be the woman she was.

Fantastic description. Kara feels so uncomfortable in her own skin right now.

Hadn’t she frakked with his head enough? Lee’s life was a smear on the flight deck, punctuated with her boot scuffs. ........Maybe it was time to leave Lee alone. For good.

I could really see Kara coming to this conclusion after what's happened. Her inital thoughts in the previous chapter It felt good to be held, to be embraced by someone who wasn’t questioning her motives. Who was just glad to see her alive. It was how she had imagined Lee would greet her., have been changed to this, to wanting to let him go, mainly because he's already let her go - she just hadn't realised it yet.

Of course. Ever the frakkin’ CAG, Lee was taking one for the team, allowing the Cylon to take his wing. She’d almost forgotten what a noble prick he was.

*applauds* I was initially lulled into a speck of hope that Lee wanted to fly with her, maybe test her out and see if she was really Kara, but yeah...you NAILED the way Lee thinks. Nailed it.

And there's that cresting wave again....the whole flyin formation thing with the Cylons has me completely baffled. I have no clue what's going on or what their motives are. Their presence in this way feels like it's actually confirming Kara's Cylon status.

Anyway, I promised I'd be good and not beg for more so I'll just say how much I'm loving this story and the way you write!!!

Helo… ahhh *snugs him and his ambiguous past sexual ties to Kara*, I kind of love the idea of him championing the underdog. I think it’s a compulsion for him and - boy man - it doesn’t always serve him well.

Was that Lee's way of having to avoid dealing with Dee?

I think so. Because even if Kara had said “Yeah, Dee fucked me up.” Lee would then have been all “OMG I can’t trust her she’s a Cylon!” it was almost a guarantee that he wouldn’t have to take Dee to task.

Does Lee think Dualla is incapable of such actions?

You know what? I think he does. I think he, them, me and other writers forget that Dee *can* fight. I mean - has the physical capacity and training. We’ve seen her spar with Lee. I don’t know about fleet training, but we can assume that like most other forces she’s got to have the rudimentary close-quarters-combat training. So she can… but would she? She wouldn’t be in an armed force if they weren’t satisfied that she could engage someone in a physically aggressive manner should the need arise. Possibly I’m looking too deep into this.

Dee is sparkly eye shadow and boobs. Kara is smelly Raider goop and ‘ceps. It’s not that they don’t *know* she’s capable. They just can’t see her starting something against Starbuck. Because that’s just fucking stupid.

But you know what? Just the fact that Kara's living and breathing would slide so far up Dee's butt and make her feel insecure that if nothing else happened to Dee, I wouldn't care.

You aren’t wrong… and this has to be eating at Dee monumentally. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of her.

…you NAILED the way Lee thinks. Nailed it.

And now I blush. Profusely. Shucks.
