"Yeah, good. Okay. Go get her and bring her here." Laura rises, coughs, and must sit back down again. He offers assistance, ignored, but there's something else. "It's just ... Once you have what she knows, I can't help feeling like you could try to keep Earth for Humans Only, and I just... Madam President, that doesn't seem..." She indulges him -- this is what you fucking get for bringing his Boy Scout ass in the first place, Madam President -- and he nods: "Honest. You're supposed to be conducting a fair deal here, and instead you're taking D'Anna off by yourself. Taking what she knows." She's really sick and weak, Laura; she's getting weaker as we speak, and you know what that means. Hardcore. Airlock hardcore. Maybe LVAD-crazy hardcore. I know that was the last episode of a show that freaked me out this bad.
"Slow down, Captain. At best, D'Anna knows the identities of the Cylons in our Fleet. And at best, they know a way to Earth." Which, Helo points out, is not a denial that she wants to keep Earth to herself. "I'm not saying that's true. I will say that if the Cylons had the option, that's exactly -- exactly -- what they would do." And I mean, who knows what the hell the Cylons are going to do at any point, really? Certainly not the Cylons, that's for sure. Helo says that at the least "the Sharons," the Eights, would do no such thing. Now, that I believe. She scoffs in his giant awesome face. "Captain. You are not married to the entire production line." Or but is he? "I cannot afford to be sentimental right now, and I cannot afford you to be sentimental either. If you can't do this job, find me someone who can." There are alarms of arrival.
TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM
While Three continues to lounge in her birthing tub like some kind of Club Med cougar, Boomer notes the random rebel Baseship approaching, and Cavil continues to harangue Three about corralling the 268s. She's like, "Nope!" That's one chip she knows she has. She asks him why he's not asking about the Final Five, and he gives his usual answer; that's another chip: "Well, I'll tell you! I will tell you, I'll start shouting out their names! Why do you risk it?" Cavil actually calms her down by asking if she's going to actually do anything or if she's just going to act cagey. Actually, what he says is, "...or are you useless?" Because what Cylons are, buster, are machines. And don't you forget it. Boomer reads about twenty-five Heavy Raiders coming toward them from the Baseship. At least, they look like Heavy Raiders. Really, what they are is a jury-rigged Shape of Things to Come; they are Frankenstein's Monsters of ingenuity, sprung from the forehead of somebody who may or may not be Athena.
