This was so entertaining and well-written! And it's the only fic I've read so far that's bothered to explore the perspective of the 145s. The statistics and generous helping of sarcasm were the perfect touch!

(Ever since No Exit I'd been secretly cheering on the Cavils--not to destroy humanity necessarily, but to hear supernovas and all that. And it's really too bad the Simons and Dorals were so underused.)

It's fun to think that they got their singularity and their gun-arms, haha.

"Both of you just frak off, okay? I've got dyin' to do."
Lol, that line slayed me. I could just hear him saying that.

Anyways, awesome humor piece. *thumbs up*

Thanks for the kind comments! I'm glad you liked it.

I, too, was hoping that Cavil would get his supernova in the end, and that Doral and Simon would get some more screentime... oh, well. There's always The Plan -- I'm hoping for way more of Doral and Simon in that!

[mrine]

Yeah, I am really looking forward to The Plan too. :D

[mrine]

Oh, wow. You have a whole journal full of 145-Cylons BSG fic. Jackpot!

[grey_sw]

Enjoy! :3

Yay, happy ending for the 145s! I love the dynamic you've written between these three: from the drunken orgies, to the snark, to the childlike giddiness and optimism. The idea of a cylon "collective mind" is neat, too. I always wondered how much they shared in terms of memories, emotions, and thoughts. I definitely prefer this ending to the nonsense fed to us in the finale!

Thank you! I loved that scene with them discussing Boomer in the finale -- where Doral goes "omg I can't believe you ever trusted her *eyeroll*" and Cavil is like "whatever I did not!", and then Simon says "blah blah blah obvious" and Cavil's like "frak, Simon, would you stop with the obvious already?", and then both Simon and Doral just let him rant.

I got the sense that they're three peas in a pod. Man, I hope there's lots and lots of 1/4/5 goodness in The Plan!

I almost had Cavil run over to the datafont, but it seemed to break the flow of the story too much. I figure they have to have something, anyway, because the models seem to be too unified otherwise -- at least, when they want to be! Besides, they're computers, they've got to have a database somewhere. :

Really enjoyed this; stumbled up on it, and the sharp wit, and Cavil's whacky math, and Dorla's tie in the datafont- good stuff. Kudos.

[grey_sw]

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. :)

Fantastic! Clever and funny and damn well written and just very very entertaining. Love the countdown of the Cavils - bad timing indeed, number 13,747...). Thank you!

[grey_sw]

Thanks for the kind words!

Poor 13,747. Then again, once the remaining Cavils have finished chucking all of the corpses into the recycler, I'm sure they'll each get to play some small part in perfection... :3
