Kyla had no idea why she decided to make Christmas dinner this year. She never really had the traditional 'Christmas Dinner' you saw in movies and she had to read up about it in some magazines to try and make sure she knew what she was doing. She had sent invites out to everyone - Allison, Kyle, her father of course, and to Ellen and Caprica. ( Read more... )

John was taking the opportunity of the nice day out to go for a run. Since he healed, he was slowly getting back into fighting shape. In actuality, he was probably in the best shape of his life since he was able to eat more protein here and actually gain some muscle ( Read more... )

"I don't know...." Kyle said hesitantly. "Is it safe ( Read more... )

John was under no delusions that this conversation was going to be entirely pleasant. It was a long-time coming and he hoped he and Leoben could come to some sort of an agreement. John wasn't sure what would happen if they couldn't. They both had different investments in the village and Alissa posed a danger to some of them. Of course, she posed ( Read more... )

John had noticed a lot of people were acting out of the ordinary. At first he had written it off as a side effect of Valentine's Day. While it had been a while since he, himself, celebrated it, he remembered what it used to be like. He had never really taken to the particular 'holiday' as he did with Christmas and Halloween. It probably had ( Read more... )

John had some reservations about the meeting, but he also knew that it was necessary. He had promised his daughter to take every precaution and he knew she was somewhere close by no doubt with a sniper rifle in her hand in case things went wrong. He had to wonder how it would have been different had the war never happened ( Read more... )

Having Kyle in the village was a surreal thing for John. Kyle was his father, or would be in Kyle's future, and yet his would-be father had no idea. In fact, to some extent, it seemed as if Kyle looked up to John and that left John with a strange, mixed feeling. On top of that, his daughter was here with a child from a hummanoid machine made from ( Read more... )

Kyla had no idea how this was going to go, but she felt as if her stomach were in knots and she had drank a dose of water contaminated with heavy metal. If her father and Leoben didn't get along, she wasn't sure what she was going to do. It had to be done, though, and so she asked her father to meet her at the cafe. It seemed like a good, neutral ( Read more... )

John had settled into the village in a way a military person wary of the world might. He had old, distant memories of what life was like before the war, so the village itself was not a mystery to him. He remembered things like ice cream, grocery stores, and arcades. It was surreal, but not a mystery. The question as to why he was here and how left ( Read more... )

As he flew through the air, John could hear Kate's scolding in the back of his mind. His wife was never happy when he put himself on the front line. You're the leader, John. You can't go off and do every misson. They need you here, safe. John knew in some regards, Kate was right. What good was the leader of the Resistance if he were dead? On the ( Read more... )
