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.
