Read as instructed, Master. Didn't understand a bloody thing beyond basics but it's read! So there! *sticks tongue out* Well written but you could write an entry in the phone book and it would be well written!

*loves* I adore Tyrol and you really got into his head here. He holds up under the pressure well, but I hurt to see the deaths and disasters piling up around him, because he's the Chief and he's always going to feel responsible. And, oh man, I hurt already for when he gets back to the Galactica and "Sharon".

A couple typos I noticed, just so you're aware:

it's abandoning hope, I thing. -- That should be, "I think" right?

Not there there's a ton of hope here, -- "Not that there"

Perhaps it cab wait a moment. -- "perhaps it can wait"

Thanks. Fixed 'em. Yeah, I was just imagining him thinking, all right, well, all of this sucks but Sharon wasn't here, because you know he's still a mess about her anyway. And then thinking how much he hated losing his people that first time, you know?

Nice one on Chief.

Thanks. :)

Great to see Tyrol in the breakdown; he's a strong, stoic kind of character with such great weaknesses. Beautifully written, well done.
