[ Here, Barge, have Racetrack who has just woken up from being a Navy sailor and fighting pirates and seriously what the frak. ]

I am so confused.

[ Help. :c ]

[ She's starting to realize he's not a warden. And isn't that frakking weird? It doesn't make much sense, not the Felix she knew. ] I died for the fleet. You died for -

I don't know. Frakking losing.

[ She was not prepared to deal with this. ]

[itstopped]

[It's more of a slap in the face than she could even know. Than, irony of ironies, maybe anyone but Gaius -- not the Barge one but the one who knows him -- would know. He stiffens as though she actually did try to hit him, but luckily it's too easy to be angry and disgusted and that means he doesn't have to be hurt.]

And I suppose you stepped neatly in and took the bridge while we were all distracted. Or did you serve out your time and join back up with the Alliance?

[landfall]

I joined back up to kill Cylons. Remember them?

[itstopped]

But only as long as they were the right model, I take it. Isn't that the new order of the day? The Twos, the Three, the Sixes, the Eights... [Seriously, frak the Eights.] Not them.

[landfall]

So I should've sat in a cell and not killed any Cylons?

Because that's what Seelix and Narcho did. For you.

[Threadjack]

[surfaceshine]

Hey, sister, didn't you see the sign?

Check the grudges at the door.

[Threadjack]

[landfall]

It's not a grudge! I followed his frakking rebellion because I respect him.

And why is it so weird that I'm a warden, anyway?

[Threadjack]

[itstopped]

Because if I'm a frakking rebel and a traitor, so are you.

[Threadjack]

[landfall]

You're not a traitor!

[Threadjack]

[itstopped]

So you still think Adama was wrong.

[Threadjack]

[landfall]

Of course I do! He was completely out of line. It was you who stopped thinking that.

[Threadjack]

[surfaceshine]

Yeah this looks like respect.

[Threadjack]

[landfall]

Listen, I don't know you, and you can't tell me I'm not allowed to be angry.

[Threadjack]

[itstopped]

He's... [Well.

Incidentally-- and now he switches briefly to private--] How's Louis?

[Threadjack] - private

[landfall]

[ wait

a

minute ]

This is your boyfriend?

[Threadjack]

[surfaceshine]

Actually, I can, because see I control the way my mouth moves.

[Threadjack]

[itstopped]

Oh, frak-- don't, Dean.

[Threadjack]

[surfaceshine]

Don't what.

[Threadjack]

[itstopped]

I appreciate it, but she's a friend.

[Threadjack]

[surfaceshine]

Yeah I can see that.

...Fine.

[itstopped]

[Seelix. Narcho. Gods. He looks a little sick, but the sarcasm shields are still high.]

I don't know, Racetrack-- it's just with four of seven models pretending to be on our side, and four of the Final Five alive in our fleet, it seems like there must have been more to make friends with than to fight. Don't tell me Adama-- [And he very consciously leaves off the title, here.] --let you go around killing off Sixes.

[landfall]

I didn't have much of a chance. I died in the fight.

[itstopped]

Fighting to protect Cylons from other Cylons.

[landfall]

Fighting to kill Cylons! To make sure that humans never have to deal with that kind of war ever again. To destroy their colony because they destroyed ours.

[itstopped]

And what were you going to do when the smoke cleared and there were just as many of them as us on our side?
