So… human, this experience. Humans don't know the one true God but in time, I'd hoped we might change that. It was Caprica's idea to begin with, naturally. For someone who claims not to love, she's a remarkably emotional version of her model. Still it was a vain hope to begin with, and we learned on New Caprica that it would more than likely never come to fruition.
I could have predicted that from my time amongst the fleet, had I bothered to really consider it. But I didn't. I had my reasons.
She tells everyone else she doesn't love Gaius Baltar, but at times it's painfully obvious that she does. I thought once upon a time that emotion was a weakness, and one that no Cylon truly had.
I thought, too, that I'd been proven wrong the day Caprica bashed my head in with a rock. And I've not been sure either way since. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. And work on it.
Sometimes it seems to me that maybe 'emotion' is a clearer path to the one God than any other. Though it seems that humanity also use it as a path and a guide to their false gods, so that could be entirely wrong.
But when I held Hera...
Well, let's just say that, either way: I think I'm rather confused about all this.
Where do we go from here?
