Poor Helo. He really doesn't know what he's truly wrought and how much anger his actions will potentially cause.

I haven't decided whether or not Lee left the names. He does know what's happening and I have this suspicion that he's made it clear to the other pilots at least that no one is to touch Helo or Sharon. Because honestly? when word gets out - and it will - someone will want to make the Cylon lover pay. Helo did what he did out of a love for his people, to save them from their worst impulses. but most people will see nothing but a traitor who robbed them of their best chance to rid them of their enemies and live in peace. If I were Helo, I'd be watching my back when I walked down darkened corridors because there are plenty of people who'd be happy to slip a shiv between his ribs right about now. I suspect that Kara or Tigh or many, many others wouldn't give a frak about morality and doing the right thing, not if it means ending those metal mother frakkers.

The shunning is not kind, but it's better than death. And really, what better punishment is there than to have to live with the consequences of your actions?

Oh, of all the people, you know Lee would be *adamant* that Helo be unharmed. If anyone knows about living with the consequences of your actions, it's Lee Adama.
