UPDATE: new fic called "Baltar's Caprica", based on the same idea but from Baltar's POV, is now available!

100 words. As chapter 2, find the extended version (150 words) of this fanfiction.

Fandom: BSG 2003.

Character: Caprica Six.

Spoilers: pretty slight, more or less up to Exodus part II (3x04).

Disclaimer: Caprica, New Caprica and Caprica Six all belong to a genius named Ron Moore, who not only has great ideas but also gave BSG a real ending. Which, in the current TV-show world, should at least be worth a medal.


Caprica. The name of a dead planet. Dead because of her.

The funny thing is she was actually happy there. Or she could've been, if she hadn't been so obsessed with the plan.

A name given to another planet. New Caprica. A second chance. For humans, and for Cylons too. A second screw-up.

She used to be so sure it would work, it all used to seem so clear. Salvation for them all, the end of the cycle of violence. Or escalation.

Her name. A nom de guerre she was given as a war hero. A reminder of her mistakes.
