oOo
How could she live as a wife and as a soldier? Her husband ordered her to risk her life Starbuck. He covered it up well, saying that Anders would give them all away if she didn't. That would never fly with her. She knew he was breaking more than Anders. Right now he didn't break. But he would. She thought of him as he was months ago. He lost his edge; he was soft, and not just about the weight. He had lost her to another man. Now he would lose her forever.
If humanity had children, if they survived the cylons, the children would know of Apollo, named for one of the gods. They would tell his stories over and over again, and Apollo would not be alone. Her husband, the man named for the god, would forever go down in history tethered to another. Apollo and Starbuck. His legend would not survive without her, and neither would he.
She could not bear all the times he walked way, all the times he slept with her. Every time, she competed with the memory of Starbuck. If Starbuck became a memory, Apollo would soon follow.
When she came before the gods, she knew she would say she chose to be a wife. A wife who loves her husband gives all. She will bring her back. She will bring back her husband's will to live. She's going to
Bring Starbuck back to Apollo.
