They don't love you, you know.

Ever since Boomer and Three had told her what had happened with Hera back home, Sharon had been a mess. Sure, she hid it well enough. She had to, for her daughter who was here, and healthy, and with her. But she couldn't stop thinking about her little girl, sick on the basestar. Sick, and without her. Hera back home ( Read more... )

...whether we fail or pass the test, is up to us.Standing in a reverent silence, D’Anna wondered how long it took for the consensus to be made, if any of the other models had even a moment’s hesitation before casting his or her vote in deciding the fate of her entire line. The more she thought about it, the less sure she was about actually wanting ( Read more... )

Jo was busy making tea and biscuits. She'd had a lot of practise making tea for the whole of UNIT and she'd made some here too, so that was something she was confident about. Chocolate biscuits were something she'd made once for the Doctor from her mother's recipe and he'd liked them so much she made sure she made enough that he could have one ( Read more... )

Since Coraline had found herself locked in that room again, she hadn't been able to sleep properly. She'd sleep but her dreams were filled with red claws and hungry button eyes and something waiting for her at the bottom of a deep well. When faced with that prospect every night you could see why a ten year old explorer would rather sit up than turn ( Read more... )

She was hard-pressed not to think of this as evidence that she was actually on a laboratory table somewhere, or in a tank, or whatever place Cylons were most likely to stick a POW they were doping up with some kind of radical hallucinogens ( Read more... )

As much as he loved having so many people to look after, Leoben thought it was sort of nice to have an afternoon where he didn't have to keep an eye on two kids and a puppy. Multi-tasking wasn't something you could do with a nine month old, a nearly two year old and a dumb albeit lovable husky. Instead, he was just watching Calliope and he was ( Read more... )

"We tried everything. She didn't respond." Boomer said, though even then, Hera was calming, her cries silencing as her mother picked her up. From the other side of the crib, Boomer frowned, arms stiffly at her sides. This didn't make sense.

Leoben was beginning to think he should have named his puppy Shadow since that was pretty much all Thirteen did most of the time. Normally he didn't mind and there weren't a lot of options for Thirteen since he was his dog, but today the cylon wasn't in the mood to be relentlessly stalked by the small husky ( Read more... )

There was a Colonial tent in New Atlantis.

Sharon was immediately certain it was meant for her. No one else in NA was from the Colonies, if she could even be counted as such. Although she was sure the tent was a gift to her, it was Hera who ran off to explore it first, disappearing inside.

"Hera," Sharon called, scolding, because who knew what ( Read more... )

Contrary to popular expectation and her own good sense, Muffin loves to be groomed. That she's only just discovered this is no measure of the depth of her enjoyment, and now that Newbie's found himself with a Deluxe Grooming Station, she insists he see to her coat and nails at least once a day ( Read more... )
