Wow, this is so good! I'm glad I finally got down to re-reading all the previous seven parts so I could read this. I love all this missing stuff about what was going through Boomer's mind as she gave in more and more to being a Cylon. The writing, the symbolism and the characterizations are really skillful. And there's such a sense of hopelessness for Boomer here, the way even her projections - this really intimate thing for Cylons - are not an escape. And how heartbreaking that she keeps projecting the Galactica again and again.
Also, I liked that you had Boomer get enraged over what the Three tells her about Sharon, Helo and Hera. It's a great choice to not have her be jealous over Helo (because I don't think she ever liked Helo in that way), but over the fact that Sharon has slipped into a role on Galactica, while through no fault of her own, Boomer can never do so. That is made very clear to me from what you show us. Oh, and btw, interesting thread you have going on in this about how the Threes hate the Eights. I think this is
