Kara
She was surprised when she got called to meet with President Roslin. That stupid woman had to bring up Leoben and get all religious with her and mess with her head. Then when the president said that the old man didn't know where earth was… she didn't believe her. He wouldn't lie like that, not to her.
Kara's eyes swept the interior of the raider that she could see without moving from the awkward position on her stomach, the weird appendages hanging everywhere and surrounding her. If she ever came across the Cylon that designed this damn thing, she'd give him a piece of her mind. Hadn't they ever heard of seats before?
She knew Lee was out there in his viper, just off her left wing, ready for the test. She reached towards the keyboard, paused halfway there and closed her eyes. He'd lied. The old man had looked her straight in the eye and lied to her face. It was just the two of them there in the hangar. He could've told her the truth if he'd wanted to, but no, he continued the lie. To her. She took a deep breath and slowly let it out. Maybe the president was right after all.
She opened her eyes and tapped on the keyboard. She had to talk to the old man. "I believed you, believed in earth." The old man knew what she planned to do and tried to talk her out of it, but there was nothing that he could say now to stop her. What if President Roslin was right? This would be the only chance to retrieve the Arrow of Apollo and open the tomb of Athena and learn the way to earth. She had to take that chance.
The last thing she heard before she jumped was Lee's voice, "What are you doing, Kara?"
She guessed she'd find out soon enough if she'd made the right choice.
