Fandom: Battlestar Galactica
Summary: "Do you really think you should do this?"
Notes: For
rococoms, who wanted something set in the Blindsided universe. Sorry 'bout the delay and the shortness of the piece, I was trying to think of an interesting moment to rework within this 'verse. Not the same style as the others, but it was fun to write, and I'm glad you asked for it.

"Ma'am.. I.."
"Like any person, I connot hear if you don't speak. What?"
"Do you really think you should do this?"
"Why not? Don't treat me with more silence Captain Apollo, tell me why I shouldn't."
"You're blind."
"Yes, I am. That didn't seem to bother you when I convinced the pilot of this ship to save your life, or when you stood up for my decisions during Mr. Dorral's protests."
"This is different."
"Why?"
"These are the last remnants of humanity."
"So I should leave them with no one? Who will take over and care for them?"
"That's not what-"
"I shouldn't force them to be lead by a cripple, is that what you meant?"
"People will challenge your position. You're.. condition, will make it easier."
"That is where most people have miscalcuated in the past, and if I don't step up and help these people now, there will be no one left to complain about my appointment. Now, will you find a priest, or shall I have Billy fetch one?"
"I'll do it."
"One more thing. Your father, I take it he'll share your view?"
"I wouldn't count on him being sympathetic."
