On Deck
This old ship has a pulse; her crew is a family.
Tradition.
Honor.
Friendship.
There’s a kinship here; I can feel it.
We don’t have that with her.
She’s ruthless.
I know what she’s capable of.
These people have no idea.
This deck isn’t mine. It belongs to Chief Tyrol, but I do as I’m told. After the Scylla, I do as I’m told.
I’ve seen the way they look at each other-the admiral and the president. There’s an affinity between them. Side by side they lead.
She will destroy them.
If only Galactica would have found us first.
