A/N; I have to say this. Some of you may have read a few of my Apollo/Dee fics, and I am an Apollo/Dee shipper. However I used to be an Apollo/Starbuck shipper, and that seemed to fit more in this story. My favorite is still Apollo/Dee.

It's late, so I may shoot this chapter in the morning

"It runs on what?"

"Angst sir" the Chief repeated for the fifth time. "It has a binary system designed like most other computers, but there is a series of converters allowing the mechanism to use the angst it absorbs as power."

Commander Adama was shocked. The Chief had been able to figure out exactly how the De-Angster worked in 48 hours, and it seemed to be completely safe. The Chief had suggested having Major Cottle look at it, which he had taken under consideration. The only hitch was Dr. Baltar's excessive complaining about the use of his lab, for secrecy's purposes.

It was getting more "too good to be true" all of the time. Yet in his heart, he had an idea of what he would use the De-Angster for. He tried not to dwell on it, especially when he was with her.

As Commander Adama left the briefing, he heard Lee talking to President Roslin. But could only hear a few snippets of the conversation

"If this ship ran on angst, then you and Lieutenant Thraice in the same room would produce enough power for a year."

"It would be great to experience life on the Galactica without angst."

'I'm not sure if it would be great, I've never experienced anything like it."

They smiled and turned the corner.

A/N; Short I Know, but it's late. If I don't shoot this chapter in the mourning, it will just be a "set the stage" thing. Next one will be longer. Please review.
