Here's Part II of my D'Anna picspam. Hope you enjoy!
You can find part I here
here Previously on BSG: D'Anna infiltrated the fleet in an attempt to re-start the Ship Wars and to find more seekrit Cylons. It wasn't going so well. Laura decided to use the movie as a way to get revenge for the whole Jail Cell thing and between this power trip and seckings with Bill, she was in an unusually chipper mood. Lee and Kara felt that their emo status was under siege. Saul detected an Emo Hipster threat to the fleet. And Bill and Saul's epic Bromance would soon appear on Fleet TV. And now, for Part II of D'Anna Makes a Movie
D'Anna was now getting concerned about her seekrit mission and confided in her assistant... what's-his-name
D’Anna: Barry, this is terrible
Gary: It’s GARY
D’Anna: Harry, I don’t know what to do. We tried to resurrect the Commander is a Gay Eunuch rumors and no one bought it. There don’t seem to be any Zarek shippers aboard this ship. Everyone is down with Adama/Roslin! WTF? How can we restart a Ship War this way? Surely there has to be at least ONE Zarek shipper aboard! *D’Anna hoped to use the ship war affiliations to help her find the other cylon models. Alas the Dylan 4 were unusual and were all hardcore A/R shippers*
Gary: Maybe they’re all just on the Rising Star now.
D’Anna: Everyone on the Rising Star is a frakking moron! I need people on Galactica! We’ll just have to try harder *The cylons were so put out with the Rising Star for failing to triumph in the Zarek/Roslin cause that they decided to just ignore the presence of any cylons aboard and focus their energy on Galactica which is, as a Leoben noted, where the party’s at.*
D'Anna's Seekrit Cylon Plan was indeed having serious problems. After interviewing a lot of Galactica's crew, she had yet to discover a seekrit Zarek/Roslin shipper
Dee: What do I think of the Commander and the President? Well, they both do their jobs very well and are professionals at all times. *Billy had coached Dee in her answers earlier this morning explaining that however “cute” the lingering gazes were, it wouldn’t do to mention them in an interview*
Racetrack: ROSLIN/ADAMA FOREVA!! SUCK IT ZAREK SHIPPERS!
Gaeta: I got this tattoo to commemorate when everyone got back from Kobol. It was super exciting girlfriend. Uh, I wasn’t there of course but ya know. I like totally was there in spirit. I helped the Commander read his maps and stuff. Don’t raise that eyebrow at me bitch! I am super helpful! Anyway, the Commander was like crazy anxious to get down there! Gods only know what kind of wardrobe Zarek had gotten Roslin for the trip! That man has no fashion sense. But yeah, Roslin/Adama are so great! I might even get an A/R tattoo soon! Don't I look tough with this cigarette? I'm only coughing because I have a cold. Shut up whore, I smoke all the time!
Chief: The Prez and the Old Man? Yeah they’re cool. They get shit done, that’s for sure. Those two are working all the time! Day, night, crazy hours, doesn’t matter. Those two are hard at work. Only working. Nothing weird going on. Just working.* And Zarek? Oh, he’s a slacker. Frakking terrorist. He shouldn’t be allowed in Madame Prez’s presence
*ETA: Chief had overheard some rather traumatic (albeit hot) bits of conversation on Kobol and was now attempting to repress the incident. As such he had founded the Adama-Roslin Platonic Shippers Club whose creed was that Roslin and Adama were super old-fashioned and maybe held hands occasionally. Lee Adama was also a member of this group, thinking that his space!mom and Dad were far too old to do anything fun*
Kat: WOO! IS IT HOT IN HERE? IT MUST BE CAUSE I’M HERE! WHAT WHAT? MAN I AM REALLY WIRED. I HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STIMULANTS I AM ALWAYS LIKE THIS. ADAMA AND ROSLIN? THEY ARE SO GREAT! I JUST LOVE THEM. DID YOU KNOW THAT THE PREZ IS SICK AND SHE STILL LOOKS FAB AND IS RUNNING THE WHOLE FLEET? IT’S REALLY INSPIRATIONAL? I WONDER WHAT SHE’S TAKING. HAHA! AND ZAREK? WHO CARES ABOUT HIM! A/R ALL THE WAY BBCAKES!
Billy: This is me ignoring you. I refuse to talk about my space!parents on your questionable documentary. If you want to read up on how awesome Madame President is though, you can check out some of the pamphlets I've written.
Helo: Who cares about any of those people? Let’s talk about my moral authoritay! I was gone during the Ship Wars so I don’t really know what that’s all about. Zarek seems like a tool though. The Commander is great. And Roslin has refrained from airlocking certain people that I like a whole lot so she’s ok in my book.
Cottle: What the frak do you want? What about Roslin and Adama? They're the two worst patients I've ever had, I'll tell ya that. Driving me frakking insane. You name it, they've done it - gotten shot, overdosed on drugs, missed appointments, decided to go running around the ship during a cylon invasion, decided that recovery time for major surgery was "optional," ran off to Kobol without my say so... I hope they are frakking, maybe it'll keep them out of my hair. And lady, don't start drumming up that Zarek nonsense again. I had 70 people come in with riot related injuries the last time the rumor mill got going. Now go away, I'm busy.
Ellen: Why do you want to talk about Laura Roslin? Let's talk about me! Really, I'm sick of hearing about that loser schoolteacher. I highly doubt she has one boyfriend much less two! Between you and me, I think Bill and Tom have crushes on me!
Baltar: So you want me to talk about Roslin and Adama? Well, as I am the Vice President, I see them all the time for ah, fleet business and such. We get along great! I'm very close with Laura - I call the president by her first name since we're such good friends. Yes, Laura absolutely loves me. I'm probably the person closest to her in the whole fleet. Only I understand the burdens of command like she does.
D'Anna: Really? I find that... debatable.
Baltar: Well it's all true! haha! Wait, where are you going? Don't you want to talk more about me? Come back!
Lee: Why are you asking about my space!mommy and my Dad? Let’s talk about how great I looked in that towel! Oh, Zarek? Yeah my space!mommy likes him just fine! Did you know I negotiated with him when he took hostages? I’m multitalented
Kara: What? Some fool said that Roslin likes Zarek? Who was it? Oh, well yeah, consider your source people. Roslin would toss Zarek out an airlock in heartbeat if she could get away with it. And she’d make a killing if she sold tickets. Do you know something I don’t?
D'Anna even went to talk to Tom Zarek himself
Tom: Oh I have the highest regard for the President. And the Commander too. Yeah. We all get along great! Let's talk about how snazzy my stole is! *Tom was a very savvy politician and knew that Adama and Roslin were currently riding a wave of popularity and that he'd probably find his way out an airlock if he tried to stir up trouble at the moment*
D'Anna: What is wrong with you bitches!? Why won't anyone gossip and stir up controversy?
Finally, D’Anna approached Col. Tigh as a last resort hoping that a combination of alcohol and his bromance would make him start bashing the A/R relationship
D’Anna: So, Colonel, fancy a drink?
Saul: Yeah sure. Fill’er up *D’Anna was not aware of the Colonel’s freakishly high alcohol tolerance levels and her plan to get him drunk and talking was ultimately doomed*
D’Anna: So what are your thoughts on the relationship between the President and the Commander?
Saul: *Luckily Laura had sent Saul a script this morning in case something like this came up. She had heard of his press conferences during Martial Law and had no wish for him to incite a riot* Ahem. The President and the Commander have an excellent working relationship and they have the highest respect and regard for one another. Cough. So aside from that Brig crap they are stellar.
D’Anna: That’s it? No juicy gossip? No seekrit love for Zarek/Roslin?
Saul: Frak no lady! Zarek can go airlock himself. Got any more of this stuff?
D’Anna: mental!facepalm. *The other cylons will laugh at me! This mission is a total bust!*
Dejected and fearing the mockery of her fellow Cylons D’Anna decided that she needed to locate some reserves of awesome. Finally, inspiration struck
Bill: WTF are you doing here?
D’Anna: Aside from filming the preggers cylon you secretly have on board - and really, Commander, I didn’t think you were this old fashioned. No need to hide women away when they are unmarried and pregnant!
Bill: WTF
D’Anna: But I was feeling a little down so I came here to channel some of Madam Prez's awesome. One the nurses told me this is her usual bed when she comes for appointments with Doc Cottle!
Bill: You’re hanging out on Laura...Madam President’s regular hospital bed. Um, why?
D’Anna: Uh, I just told you, I’m absorbing her amazingness.
Bill: You are a crazy ass stalker and I am seriously displeased about your fixation on Laura. Go away now.
So after his interview Saul returned to his quarters to find Ellen in yet another pickle
Saul: Ouch. Well, here’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into Ellen!
Ellen: mmmph! mmph!
Saul: Yeah, whatev bb. What’s going on here? I am quasi sober and I’m not in the mood
Emo Hipster: I wrote the poetry on your mirror!
Saul: Well it sucked, what do you want?
Emo Hipster: I cant’ stand it anymore! This Roslin/Adama shippers are just too much! It’s all your fault that she’s not with her true love Zarek!
Saul: What the frak? And I should’ve known Emo Hipsters would be Zarek/Roslin shippers
Emo Hipster: If you hadn’t frakked up running the fleet so badly and kept Roslin in the brig she wouldn’t of had to break out and run off to Kobol and then the Commander wouldn't have followed her and the whole thing wouldn't be all epic and crap. It’s not fair!
Saul: Simmer down moron. If you don’t leave in five seconds I am going to punch you in the face and it will really hurt you and you’ll probably cry
Emo Hipster is Emo.
ETA: Alas, D'Anna had actually hired Emo Hipster as a last ditch effort to stir up the Ship Wars again. Seeing that her plan had totally failed, she decided to just take what footage she had to the President.
So later on Colonial One D'Anna screened her footage for Bill, Laura, Billy and Saul
D’Anna: So here’s some footage for you guys to watch. I managed to at least uncover a drug scandal! Good investigating journalism yo. By a human journalist. Which is what I am. A human. So what do you think?
Kat: LOOK I’VE HAD A BAD DAY JUST GO AWAY ALREADY! DOC COTTLE CONFISCATED MY STIMS AND I DON'T FEEL SO GREAT NOW. AND FASHION HOUR IS COMING ON AND I JUST WANT TO WATCH ROSLIN ROCK OUT A SKIRT AND SEE IF I CAN CATCH THE COMMANDER CHECKING OUT HER ASS OR NOT!
Bill: Well frak me.
Laura: Blerg. Bill bb we’re gonna have to be more circumspect. You’re gonna have to go back to not making eye contact with me.
Bill: *sigh* This frakking sucks. Is your whole movie like this? You were supposed to make the military look good! Everyone on here is some combination of an alcoholic, a drug addict, or an emo and they're all weirdly obsessed with me and the President!
D’Anna: I just did the reporting Commander. It's not my fault that the military is emo and into substance abuse. Oh and here’s some of Colonel Tigh’s interview! “Lookit lady Bill Adama could kick Tom Zarek’s ass with one hand tied behind his back!”
Billy: This movie is of dubious quality. What kind of film were you using? My space!mommy will look less than fabulous in this lighting.
Laura: Saul, did you get off script at all?
Saul: NO. A little. Whatev, I made you sound good you evil...
Laura: Don’t finish that thought
Bill: Seriously, is this entire film about the President and me? I thought you were supposed to promote the military here!
D’Anna: Oh there’s tons of parts about how awesome the military is, blah blah. But I decided to go for a human interest angle and let people talk about their leaders It’s really inspirational!
Laura: Well, I can see where that is true. You said you had some footage of the Colonel and the Commander together?
D’Anna: Yeah a fair amount
Laura: Be sure to leave all of that in
Saul: Oh frak off lady
Bill: Gods I need a drink. Where does Billy hide the alcohol?
Laura: Well I think my work here is done. Good job D’Anna, we’ll look forward to seeing your documentary on Fleet TV. Make sure to throw in some cheesy monologues and patriotic music.
D’Anna: *zomg Laura likes me!! Squee!!!* ETA: D’Anna no longer cared about finding the other cylons since Laura liked her. Praise from Laura pwns all
After the others left
Laura: Well bb now we know where we stand with the fleet
Bill: Wait, I thought this was revenge. And a military PR stunt. But you actually did it to see how many Zarek fans were still running around and if people were on to us or just speculating?
Laura: All of those things actually. I’m a multitasker
Bill: FTW bb.
Cylon Movie Theater
Doral: Where’s the popcorn?
Eight: You ate it all fatass
Doral: Shut up whore
Six: God you guys I’m trying to watch this!
D’Anna: Ok, ok, so here’s the best part
Everyone: WHOA!
D’Anna: I know right? Can Laura Roslin rock out a wrap top or what?
Six: This is so inspirational
Eight: We’ve been going about this all wrong. We should be trying to channel Laura Roslin’s awesome!
D’Anna: Yes let us put petty shipper concerns behind and focus exclusively on Laura
Doral: So say we all
Thanks very much for reading!
