"Shoot him!" Kelly's rational mind demanded.

Tyrol was a cylon after all. A frakking machine. Programmed perhaps to act like a person, but not really a person at all. Just a thing.

But staring down the barrel of his gun, Kelly didn't see a cylon, a machine, a thing.

He saw a husband and a father, a crewmate and a friend. He saw a soldier he had served with for over a decade. And a man who had long ago earned his trust and respect.

Logically, Kelly knew he should see the enemy, but all he saw was Galen Tyrol.
