"They'll be coming for me," Helo says. He turns his back, upset. "You or me," he laughs. Sharon stares at him. He isâ¦a murderer. The only soul he leveraged was his own. There weren't options, with the prisoners, for max charity, but they could have been given the cure, could have been made Spikes of, enslaved to the vaccine, waiting for their catch. Unable to ever go home. And that's the best option for them, barring somehow using Sharon's antigens to save them for good, at which point they'd be POW's and could just wait and kill themselves later, assuming they didn't get raped to death by the humans. Who sometimes do that. These are questions without answers. (Maybe that's all Helo meant and I imagined the other, horrible thing; in which case I am a horrible person and I do apologize for thinking it.) "Seems like they're always coming for one of us..." he muses. Always for the best of reasons, though. I remember Pegasus. "I'm not a traitor. I love my people. I love this ship. Besides you, the first thing I wanna see on any morning are the lights in that CIC. I did what I thought was right. If it was a mistake, fine. I can live with that. It's you I can't live without." The measure of salvation, in this case, being that we're no longer on New Caprica, so they won't have to kill him for what he did like Tigh with Ellen, the day she said just that. Sharon holds him, tightly, and their bodies echo that last atrocity. "I'll always love you, Helo." Just like Saul.
