Great resolution to the mystery of what did happen to Shelley Godfrey after Six Degrees.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
Hmm, I guess Caprica wasn't the first to murder their own (D'anna).
Yeah, I think the Great Cylon Retcon makes that rather unlikely. No way Cavil is going to miss out on all the fun of throwing his siblings down garbage chutes! :3
Ooh, very nice, and very Cavil. I really liked how you made it very clear what happened without spelling it out. And the idea that Cylons have a whole class of "model number jokes" the way we have knock-knock jokes is great.
Oh, I like this!!! That was fantastic. I especially liked the irony of Cavil making jokes about pretending to throw a ball for the Marines, and then essentially doing the same thing to the Six. It would not surprise me at all to find out that much of this is canon- or awfully close to it.
I also really liked the little bit with Skulls, interestingly. It gives a little bit more of a flavor about what everyday life is like on the Galactica, both for Brother Cavil and for the not-so-special snowflakes.

Yeah, I suspect something like this might be in The Plan... I'm hoping for plenty of scenes of Cavil "taking care of business", at least. >:)

I like Skulls. Wish they'd done more with the minor characters on this show. Plus, there's a little irony in that scene, considering where Skulls and Cavil both end up!
Oh, Cavil. I was never sure what happened to Shelley, or why she had evidence that, what did Gaeta say, was almost like she wanted it to get found out? But this is great. And it made me laugh a little, because Cavil is just do darn practical. Well done.

Yeah, I didn't want to get into any "why" questions with this story. Frankly, the idea that anybody was actually planning the crazy crap the Cylons were doing in S1/2 ("let's plant poorly photoshopped evidence!" "let's show up every half hour!" "let's blow our cover so we can get waterboarded and give out vague secrets!") is hilarious. It only really makes sense if they were secretly filming a television show, and wanted to shock the viewer all the ti-- hey!
I can't wait to see the writers attempt to tie together the un-tie-togetherable in The Plan...
But this is great. And it made me laugh a little, because Cavil is just do darn practical. Well done.
Thank you! "Practical" is precisely what I was going for, here -- there's a reason why he talks about trash chutes and dogs, other than simple misdirection. In a way, I think he admires them.

Interesting choice of characters, but so true to John Cavil.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! That's definitely the effect I was going for.

You should see their version of "Who's On First". :D

This sort of thing is why I love to love Cavil, actually. >:)
