Spoilers: Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 1 (and also others, but if you've seen KLG pt. 1, you've already been spoiled)
Summary: It's a horrible thing, not knowing if you're good or evil.
Disclaimer: I don't own Battlestar Galactica, despite the fact that I'm addicted to it. I do, however, own this story and all ideas contained within.
Sharon sits on the cold hard ground in the cold rain, and makes a list of what she knows.
She is wet.
She is cold.
She is tired.
She is in pain.
She is pregnant.
She is in love with Helo.
Helo no longer loves her back.
Her list doesn't include whether she is good or evil. She doesn't know. It's a horrible thing, not knowing if you're good or evil. She makes a list of the things she's done.
She's killed before.
She killed a Cylon trying to hurt Helo.
She was going to manipulate Helo and use him for Cylon purposes.
She didn't.
She fell in love with Helo.
She didn't tell Helo that she's a Cylon.
She meant to tell Helo that she's a Cylon, once they escaped Caprica
She's a Cylon.
She no longer wants to be a Cylon.
She doesn't know how to think about things. If she thinks about things from a Cylon perspective, she is good when she manipulates and kills and does as she's told. She is evil when she no longer wants to be a Cylon and she falls in love and she doesn't do as she's told. If she thinks about things from a human perspective, she is good when she falls in love and doesn't manipulate and no longer wants to be a Cylon. She is evil when she manipulates and doesn't tell and is a Cylon.
She knows Helo will never get past her being a Cylon, will always see her as some evil machine that has no good anywhere. She is not Sharon, she is the second model of the being called Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii. She is a Cylon. In Cylons, there is no room for good.
She doesn't know if he's right. She doesn't want him to be. She wants to tell him she loves him and things that love can't be evil, but he knows he won't believe her. In Cylons, there is no room for love.
Sharon is not a Cylon. The second model of the being called Lt. Sharon "Boomer" Valerii is a Cylon. Sharon is good. The second model is evil.
She wants to be Sharon, but only Helo can let her. Without him, she is not Sharon. And if she is not Sharon, she must be the second model, and she is evil.
The second model sits on the cold hard ground in the cold rain and wishes to be good.
please review! I love reviews, and all my reviewers especially
