Sera - The Centurion

I awoke, blackness surrounded me.
Then I heard it.
Voices;
Thousands of Voices, flowing through my head.
Then all stopped and the voices spoke out as one.
"By Your Command."

Disclaimer: I do not own BSG1980 or BSG:2003, Suing me is pointless cause its unlikely you'll ever find me – and no that is not a challenge.
Note: Got the idea from "Mackon" author of "Razors Edge: Redemption".
Note 2: I am behind on a lot of updates for my other fics and apologise for it, to any who care. I have nearly finished new updates for all of them but I want each update to be at least 10,000 words.

Awakening
-
Red, my vision is red, curved, angular. Not really sure how else to describe it, not really sure why I'm bothering either. My brothers are all standing and beginning to practise movement. I'm not sure how I understand them, how they understand me. Its like we are all one mind, many bodies, but at the same time our minds are segmented, we're like computers.
Oh. Wait we are computers.
Bugger.
Hey, wait a minute where are we all going?
The rest of my brothers are heading towards the steel doors, better follow them I suppose. Don't want to be left behind in an alcove. One of my brothers is struggling to stand up. I clank over to him, and reach down to pull him up. He stares at me for a moment, his one red eye sliding from side to a faint whirring hum as it crosses, so relaxing. I could listen to that noise forever. He reaches for my arm, and I pull him out of the alcove. Standing still for a moment he stares at me uncomprehending. Then pushes past me, I move out of the way to avoid being clipped by him.
Prick.
Could of said thank you at least, wouldn't have hurt, so we're machines, doesn't mean we don't have feelings, God loves us all.
Okay where the error did that come from. God loves us all… Seriously? And would someone care to explain to me what the error is a God?

Finally made it outside, we're all moving around mainly just guarding the pale buildings, some of my brothers are lifting tree's into place as many pink things walk around.
Humans?
Remind me what a human is again.
Query: What is a human?
Definition: A Big pink chimp.
For some reason I think my Operating System is being sarcastic.
Oh wait I can hear all the voices again.
"Obey us, love us we are the leader class."
What! Their superior to us, but their all weak and fleshy and… and Pink!
Well I'm not standing for this, I'm going for a walk.

This place is really huge gigantic buildings clutter the skyline, its completely empty, deserted. I clank over to a window, I'm reflected in it; a tall dark grey body with a sliding red eye like my brothers.
Why am I so different from them?
Why do I not want to help rebuild?
It just seems so… so pointless.
I feel like it was our fault, like we caused this emptiness.
But we can't have, can we?
Movement, I am swiftly brought out of my thoughts. I see something dart across my vision. Everything goes red.

Whimpering.
Where's it coming from?
My vision is restored, there's a small pink chimp cowering before me, shielding another with its small body.
Why does it feel the need to hide from me?
Wait. How did I get here? Last thing I remember was… I was standing in front of the window.
I turn my head, the window is smashed, broken. Glass is spread everywhere the items on display are trashed, something heavy must have crushed them…
Oh.
Oops.
I think that must have been me. But… why did I react like that? It couldn't possibly have hurt me. Reaching forward I lift it up my the scruff of its neck, it struggles though resignedly as it sure I will hurt it in some way.
Well absolutely not.
Placing it gently on my shoulders I reach down for the other creature, lifting her gently I place her in my arms then turn and begin to clank out of the shop.
The chimp on my shoulder struggles till I finally reach down and drop him off. Glaring up at me he makes an adorable expression. Pouting? I think that's what its called, more of my memories are returning to me after the resurrection.
Resurrection?
What the error is that?
Oh the chimp I dropped is trying to catch my attention again – oops.
Looking down at it, it seems to be gesturing oh its saying something.
"Look ah don't care whatca' do ta me but don't harm ma sis K?"
I nod at the small chimp. It looks rather surprised but nods back.
"Right den' follow me ye tin can."
I'm not sure why but I have a feeling it just insulted me.

Struggling through the undergrowth was tougher than I first thought, why did we have to leave the nice metal city?
Oh finally are we there?
We emerged in a clearing, full of larger pink chimps the small one yelled out to them and they turned.
One actually dropped the box he was carrying on his foot starring at us in shock.
Then the yells and screams began as more dashed out to meet us and aim those funny metal sticks at us.

After placing the kid in my arms down gently I back off a bit and stand still.
Geez these pink chimps are paranoid, wonder why their not back in the main city where I awoke. – Cautiously I back off raising my long talons. Don't want to frighten them anymore than they are already.
A man emerges from behind one of the tree's.
Tousled black hair, layered across a tired looking face, but eyes alight with a wonderus glow of life, broad shoulders connected to powerful arms made the handsome figure glow with an unknown power.
Wait… handsome?
Oh error, I'm attracted to something outside my own species.
"Er.. sir why's the toaster looking at you like that?"
Toaster what in the name of the error is a toaster?
"How the hell would I know what goes on in these fracking things minds, for all we know it's not right in the head."
Hell, toaster, fracking? What are all these strange words?
And what's that brown animal tilting its head at me? A Daggit?
Well then I'll just tilt my head right back. Cool it looks confused at me. I win. Hah. Once more Metal triumphs over meat and I greatest of the centurions will…
- oof –
Oh bollocks, I just fell over using the wrong servo to move.
The chimps are looking strangely at me again.
"You know sir, if this is the calibre of the average Cylon, I think humanities in with a pretty good chance."
Their all giggling, why are they giggling?
