"So am I gonna be ok Doc?" The Chief asked after Doc Cottle had taken a few scans.
"Yeah" he said "I mostly didn't pick up anything interesting. There is more the average stress on you're cerebrum, but that's probably overwork."
"I have been working a lot of extra hours lately" he said "with building the blackbird" he didn't add that it was also to distract him from his dreams.
"I'm authorizing you to take the day off" Doc Cottle said "Relax and get some rest." The Chief knew this was a good idea, though he didn't plan to sleep.
He looked over and saw that Helo was sitting next to him. He seemed to have burnt his hand
"Hey Helo, can I talk to you" Helo turned over and smiled congenially. They had bonded over almost getting killed on the Pegasus for saving Sharon.
"Sure, what's up?"
"Have you ever had any dreams about Sharon?"
"She haunted my dreams for a very long time" he answered
"Yeah, but has it ever seemed like she's actually been there?" he flinched slightly knowing this sounds crazy, but he kept going "Has it been clearer the any other dream?" he almost asked if he heard her voice in the waking world, but decided not to at the last second.
"The dreams are different" he answered as if not quite sure what to say. "But not in that way, why do you ask?" there was a long pause,
"Nothing, forget I mention it" he got up and walked out.
The Chief wanted answers; he knew that for a certainty. Doc Cottle hadn't been able to provide him and neither had Helo. He had asked Helo because some part of him hoped it was just something that happened when you had once had a Cylon lover, but really he knew that wasn't the case. Not knowing where else to go for answers, he decided to visit the other Sharon in her cell.
He got to the window and picked up the receiver. Sharon saw him and picked up the other end. Talking to this Sharon always made him uncomfortable, the awkwardness and mixed emotions were overwhelming, but he needed answers and didn't see how else he was going to get them.
"Hey Sharon" he said
"Hey" she answered "What's up"
"Well, it's these dreams" he proceeded to tell her everything, even the things he hadn't planned to talk about, like hearing her voice on the hanger deck. She listened very carefully and told him, once he finished, that she didn't know what was going on.
"I've never heard of Cylons communicating telepathically with their lovers, I've never done it with Helo." She paused, as if to think "but this does bring up something interesting, I haven't felt the presence of the other Sharon in almost a week."
"What do you mean" now the Chief was confused
"We can feel others of the same model" she answered. "We know when their hurt, or activated, transferred, or awakened on the resurrection ship. I didn't feel her before, but I had for a while .I haven't felt anything from her in almost a week."
"Another piece to the puzzle, thanks anyway" he answered, not really sure what to say" "I should go, I'm supposed to be resting."
"Bye Chief" she hung up and went back to going sit-ups. The chief left the room feeling very confused. Where was he going to find his answers now?" He intended to go to his rack, when he suddenly had a ringing in his ears, and then a great pain in his head as he fell down. The next thing he knew, He was standing on a desolate planet with the figure he saw in each of his dreams. The figure put walked up to him, and he realized it was Sharon. She looked half starved and hollow-eyed.
"I don't know how long this connection will last" Sharon said looking right at him. "But let we explain this, I have the answers you've been looking for."
