Chapter 108
24 Weeks after Joining the Fleet
"I know there's pain but try to breathe through it," D'Anna said. "You are in god's hands…we are all in god's hands."
Grace gasped and coughed as she sat up slightly in the tub of gel her cloned cylon body had been stored in. The moment she came awake she felt her essence flood into that form and enhance her physique. She didn't quite have it down to her Ascended husband's transitional speed but it didn't take long. She glanced around startled.
"This will pass. Trust me," D'Anna said. "Everything's going to be alright."
"Welcome home little sister," Six told Grace. This was one of the many copies of Six's model. "We are here and are going to take care of you."
"We're proud of you Sharon," Aaron Doral, a Five, said.
"And we love you," Sharon, another copy, said.
"Well you guys definitely know how to pull off creepy," Grace quipped. "Seriously…that smile is pure creepiness," She told her doppelganger. "I just found out not long ago that I'm a cylon. And thanks to the programming you lot gave me I wasn't too happy to find that fact out."
The other cylons all looked at each other unsure how to respond. They were expecting a rough rebirth but they weren't expecting this.
"We did the best we could," D'Anna said.
"I can see that," Grace said. "Just let me get out of this vat of goo in peace and into a shower."
Grace stood without preamble.
"The shower is this way," Sharon said while gesturing in one direction and leading the way down a short corridor.
Grace stepped into the shower and adjusted it to the right temperature with a wave of her hand and an effort from her arcane abilities. She could tell that the cylons weren't watching her. Her decision to come here and give the cylons somewhat what they expected of Galactica-Sharon had been something she had debated with herself. But she wanted to better understand cylon society and have a chance to influence it as more than just an outsider.
"Besides that, it isn't like my concentration is fully taken up with Native-Harry despite his escapades," Grace thought to herself as she let the water soak her hair.
She thought back on some of the highlights of Harry's recent escapades. He had given limited information of what he was to Kendra, Lee, and Gianne after his little trip back through time to rescue Gianne. Harry had inadvertently tapped into his power as the Master of the Hallows from this universe. Kendra who had been daily using her mouth upon Harry didn't really bat an eye except that now Harry didn't need to wear the LoK hood when she did it. Harry had rescued a group of hostages taken by a terrorist group saving the life of Roslin's aide Billy.
Pegasus had briefly enjoyed the co-leadership of its chief mechanic Barry Garner. But while Garner had proven an effective chief mechanic his leadership abilities hadn't extended to the wider ship. Lee had taken Garner's place. Baltar had announced his intent to run for president against Roslin. Harry hadn't really interfered with that. He had however interfered with Roslin's decision to make abortion illegal. Roslin's decision had been primarily based upon pressure from the religious sect conveyed through Elosha along with a desire to increase the human population. Harry's assurance that LoK could help humanity recover from a much smaller population level hadn't been enough. But his promise to undermine her law by releasing abortion pills to the fleet had swayed her.
"I like the balls on that one," Grace thought to herself amusedly. "Roslin can't hurt him…not that she would want to. But I wouldn't let her even if Harry wasn't fully capable of protecting himself. Soon I'll test out his capabilities."
Grace's thoughts of testing out Native-Harry's capabilities in the bedroom led to her pleasuring herself. It was a good shower.

Grace opened the door of her apartment to find a model Six awaiting her.
"Caprica-Six," Grace greeted. "Come in." Grace went down to her living room and continued her workout. Caprica-Six followed Grace and started looking around the apartment. After finishing her chin-ups Grace turned off the music. "So what brings you here?"
"I lived on Caprica for two years. I knew what I was. I may have pretended to be human but I still knew," Caprica-Six said.
"So what you are saying is that you are a superb liar," Grace pointed out. "That means under normal circumstances that I could never trust you."
"Under normal circumstances?" Caprica-Six said questioningly.
"I can always tell when someone is being false with me," Grace assured.
Grace walked over to her kitchen for a moment with her back turned to Caprica-Six. That was when she heard the voice.
"Start with the elephants," Energy-Gaius directed.
Just like Native-Harry had an Energy-Six around that went by the name Gina, Caprica-Six had an energy shade following her around. Grace observed without looking Gina turn to look at the elephant figurines on the living room's coffee table. Grace had walked into the bedroom where she quickly used a cleaning charm on herself from her workout before changing.
"These are beautiful," Caprica-Six said as she knelt and examined the elephants. "Are they Ithican?"
"They are hand-carved. My mother gave them to me on the day I left for the fleet academy. Or so the memories implanted into me say," Grace stated.
"Is this her?" Caprica-Six as she held up a framed photo.
"Supposedly," Grace confirmed. "It just goes to show how inhuman your fellow cylons are that they don't understand why I'm having trouble adjusting. You are closer than they are to human because you've lived around them longer. Or is it just that you can fake it better."
Caprica-Six wasn't sure exactly how to feel about that line of thinking. But it was true she held actual emotions for Gaius Baltar.
"I'm more human because I follow god's path," Caprica-Six said.
"Don't go religious with this one. What are you thinking?" Energy-Gaius said.
"Does your god urge you to pretend to love someone so that you can stab them in the back? What kind of god is that?" Grace asked curiously. She could see how her words affected Caprica-Six. "But then again you truly felt something for Gaius. It is only now that after you screwed over his entire people that you are realizing that."
"I don't know what you are talking about," Caprica-Six said, unnerved by this other woman's insightfulness. "You can fool them because they've never felt love. But I can see it. I won't say anything to them."
"You can get past this. Let me help you," Energy-Gaius suggested.
Grace could sense Caprica-Six's acceptance. Then Caprica-Six and Energy-Gaius began to speak together.
"You're right. I do love him. But I can't let them know or they will box me. They will box you if you show so much humanity," Caprica-Six & Energy-Gaius said together.
Eventually Energy-Gaius' voice dropped out, his thoughts relayed to Caprica-Six through the connection they shared.
"Tell me about him," Grace suggested.
"His house was on a bluff overlooking a lake. The sunlight on the water was beautiful. It's my favorite spot in the universe," Caprica-Six admitted.
"It was magical until you nuked it," Energy-Gaius pointed out.
"After I downloaded I went back to the ruins of his house," Caprica-Six admitted.
"What were you looking for?" Grace questioned.
"I was looking for some sort of connection to him," Caprica-Six said as she picked up a framed picture of Tyrol. "I did find a few of his belongings. They kept me from truly embracing my new life."
"See…that was true. They are. But you are ok with that. You still have them. And you haven't truly embraced cylon-hood. You want to remain connected to humanity because you are connected to him," Grace said.
Energy-Gaius looked at Caprica-Six and realized what Grace was true. He looked at Grace intently.
"How can she know these things before I do?" Energy-Gaius asked himself.
"Gaius is alive you know," Grace said.
"He's alive," Caprica-Six said with surprise.
"Oh yes. He is now the Vice President of the Colonies," Grace stated. "And he's still very much in love with you."
"How could you know that?" Caprica-Six asked searchingly while looking at Grace's face intently for any sign of duplicity, hoping Grace was telling the truth.
"I know things," Grace said confidently. "You know D'Anna is fracking with you right?"
"I'm starting to see that. She knew you would tell me about Gaius and suspected I have feelings for him. And here I thought I hid it so well," Caprica-Six said.
"Let's go grab a coffee," Grace suggested.
"Alright," Caprica-Six agreed.
The two arrived at a nearby coffee shop and picked up their orders. Shortly after they got their orders and found a table D'Anna approached them.
"How is everything going?" D'Anna asked.
"Quite well," Grace said. "I've agreed to move out."
"Just like we've been asking for weeks. I was hoping our friend here would help you see the light," D'Anna said while indicating Caprica-Six.
"She's such a poor liar. She was hoping you two would trigger a meltdown in one another and then you both could be boxed," Energy-Gaius suggested.
"When will you be moving out?" D'Anna questioned.
"As soon as possible," Grace said.
"How about right now? I'll help you," D'Anna asked hoping it would still trigger a meltdown.
"Sure," Grace agreed as she stood. "Let's go."
Just then the building seemed like it was coming apart as rubble dropped everywhere around them. Grace casually gave D'Anna a telekinetic nudge while explosive debris bounced off of her enhanced form. She waited until the rubble around her stabilized and took stock of the situation. A bomb had been set by resistance fighters in the parking garage below the café. D'Anna's body had been killed thanks to Grace's nudge. Grace moved over to Caprica-Six's form which had a chunk of rubble on her stomach. Grace lifted the rubble off and Caprica-Six let out a groan of pain.
"Thanks," Caprica-Six said. "Where is Three?"
"Crushed," Grace answered. "This is going to hurt," Grace warned as she took hold of Caprica-Six's left arm and popped it back into its socket.
Caprica-Six's pained cry alerted others to their presence.
"Help me," Anders called out from beneath the rubble.
"Hang on," Grace called. "We'll have you out of there soon," She said while she began to move rubble.
"He's a human," Caprica-Six said with surprise as they shifted enough of the rubble out of the way to free Anders. Almost without thinking she snatched up Ander's gun. "He must have set the bomb."
"Go ahead…just get it over with," Anders said while staring defiantly at Caprica-Six.
Grace looked intently at Caprica-Six for several long moments. Then she turned back to Anders.
"She isn't going to shoot you," Grace assured.
"She isn't?" Anders asked warily while glancing first at Grace and then at Caprica-Six.
Caprica-Six was also looking questioningly at Grace. "Why not?"
"Because there has been enough killing all around," Grace pointed out. "There has been so much death. Your death would serve no purpose. You and your people are going to leave Caprica soon."
"What do you mean?" Anders asked wondering how much this strange cylon knew about their operation.
It was true that Harry hoped to help them leave Caprica in the near future and rejoin the Colonial fleet, all of them.
"You will see," Grace said with assurance. Grace turned to Caprica-Six. "Do you know why we are dangerous to the cylons, Six?"
"No," Caprica-Six said uncertainly.
"Because we are celebrities among the cylons within a culture based on unity," Grace explained.
"Our voices count more than our fellow cylons," Caprica-Six said with realization.
"We have different perspectives on the war than the common doctrine," Grace added.
"Perspectives based on our love of humans," Grace continued.
"We need to tell them this vendetta against the humans is wrong," Caprica-Six said. "But they don't want to hear it."
The sound of the cylon centurions digging through the rubble grew louder.
"We'll make them hear us, Six," Grace said. She turned to Anders and said, "You had best get going." There was a passageway out of the parking structure from another direction that hadn't collapsed. "Follow the fresh air."
Anders took off. A few minutes later the centurions broke through. A copy of Doral looked down through the opening.
"We found them," Doral shouted to others helping search.

Colonial One
Harry watched from under a spell of invisibility strengthened by the Hallow within him as Roslin gave the newborn Hera, the daughter of Caprica-Sharon and Helo, to a woman named Maya Cerra to raise. Maya was a good woman but the baby had been gained through duplicity. With the help of Dr. Cottle, Hera's death had been faked to her parents. Even then Caprica-Sharon was going mad with grief.
On the one hand Harry could see Roslin's fears being a possibility, that the hybrid baby might be turned into a weapon against humanity. On the other hand Harry didn't think it was so right to steal away a baby like had been done with Hera. Maya was at least kept ignorant of the duplicity.
"Maybe this is why the Colonial gods stopped interfering," Harry thought to himself. "Maybe they didn't always know the right course of action either. Or they stopped caring."
Harry hadn't stopped caring yet. But he wasn't sure what the right course of action was in this case. So instead he chose to do nothing. He wouldn't interfere with Roslin's actions which Bill seemed to agree with. Just then something else caught Harry's attention. He looked off towards one of his monitoring devices onboard one of the fleet ships. Harry silently apparated away.

Fleet Ship Celestas
Harry materialized in a small cabin within the freighter to find the version of the cylon Six which had disappeared from Pegasus. She looked up briefly when Harry had appeared but couldn't detect him. Harry saw threads of arcane energy small but present dance out from her finger-tips and interact with the enchantments on his monitoring device.
"You have my attention," Harry said as he dropped his cloak. "Gina," He added when he recognized her.
Gina jumped in fright for a moment before she realized he was there.
"I hoped I might get you here," Gina admitted. "I wasn't sure how to contact you without approaching Starbuck. That was my last option until I found this hidden on the ship. A quite ingenious little device," She complimented as she handed the device back to Harry.
"And why did you want my attention?" Harry asked curiously.
Harry no longer really feared Gina since he had created the means to most likely unmake her.
"I want to get to know you," Gina said in a tone that was both casual and a hint of something more.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"I find you intriguing. I believe we have a lot to learn from one another," Gina suggested.
"Ok…let's start off with you telling me what you are and what it is you are doing with Gaius Baltar," Harry said.
"Cutting right down to it then," Gina said with a nervous laugh. This conversation wasn't really going like Gina had planned. "My kind are angels."
"Angels as in angels of God?" Harry said seeking clarification.
"We don't get direction from any single entity. We're only a faction of angels. There are other factions that manipulate events from the shadows," Gina explained. "This could take a while," She suggested.
"I'm not going anywhere," Harry said.
Gina wanted to get to know him. That worked both ways.

26 Weeks after Joining the Fleet, Caprica
Kara stepped onto Caprica for the first time since her departure with Harry after retrieving the Arrow of Apollo. If it wasn't for his presence beside her now she would not want to be back here again. Kara was sure Kendra felt the same on his other side.
"I still can't believe they just let us through," Kendra said as she stepped off the ramp of their raptor.
"They were true to their word," Grace pointed out.
Over the past couple of weeks Grace and Caprica-Six had been able to convince their brethren that in order to begin healing old wounds the humans had to be let go, all of the humans. The women that had been part of the farm program were being released. More than 100,000 fertile women of child bearing age were now ready to leave Caprica. It had taken Grace "coming up" with several new medical techniques to be able to get these women up and about. The babies that had been growing inside of them had been transferred to artificial wombs which Grace herself had gotten working. Grace had taken a page from Harry's book and claimed that the Colonial god LoK had paid her a visit to give her the techniques. It would be a little confusing for Sharon because the two versions of her were about to be present at the same time. The version that lived on Caprica she thought of as her Caprica-Grace aspect. And the version of herself that lived with the colonial fleet she thought of as her CF-Grace aspect.
"Yes, we were," Caprica-Six said while stepping out of the tree-line in the clearing the colonial raptor had landed in near the city where the Arrow of Apollo had been located.
"And we have the women all loaded up in transports," Caprica-Grace announced. "We were able to find or train enough pilots among them to get them away from Caprica. Space on the transports is tight but everyone is onboard."
The two groups had come to within five feet of one another.
"So you're Caprica-Six," Harry said as he eyed the cylon.
"I am," Caprica-Six admitted while looking uncomfortable since these humans knew why she was referred to by that name.
Caprica-Six and Caprica-Grace had contacted the colonials through Anders after having let him go during the bombing incident. Colonial leaders hadn't believed the offer to let the captured people go was sincere. They still didn't fully believe but Harry had convinced them it was worth the risk.
"Gaius sends his affections," CF-Grace said.
Caprica-Six looked with interest at CF-Grace upon hearing those words. A look of hopeful fondness stole over her features. It was obvious to all present that she still had feelings for Gaius.
"Thank you. Tell him I think of him every day please," Caprica-Six requested.
"You'll forgive us if we don't feel all warm and fuzzy about your relationship with Baltar given that it was instrumental in the destruction of our civilization and so many people," Kendra said while barely managing to keep herself from snarling.
Caprica-Six's attention turned to Kendra. A look of pain flittered across the blonde cylon's features.
"My people were wrong to do that. I am sorry I assisted at this point. But I only have this perspective because of my feelings for Gaius and hindsight. Everyone makes mistakes and learns," Caprica-Six pointed out.
"Not everyone makes mistakes that take genocide to learn from," Kendra rebutted.
Harry laid a hand on Kendra's arm to restrain her from saying anything further.
"It's obvious not every cylon feels the same way as you two or you would have returned Caprica to us," Kara pointed out. "Though I don't know that we would feel safe returning to a known location anyway given our weakness compared to the cylons."
"That is correct," Caprica-Grace replied. "Like you were are a people divided by differing views. I suggest you take your people and go while our viewpoint still prevails. As we told you in our last communiqué all you have to do is lead them."
Harry nodded and said, "Thank you for what you have done."
"We are sorry for what has been done to you even if we are in the minority on that," Caprica-Grace said.
The two groups broke apart with the colonial group returning to their raptor. Kara got the ship up and lifting off in a short amount of time. As the raptor rose into the air other spacecraft arrayed around the city, a great many spacecraft, also rose up from the surrounding areas. Onboard these spacecraft were more than 100,000 women.
"LoK has everything covered?" Kara asked her boyfriend with a glance back at him.
"Yes. All of the tracking devices the cylons put on the ships they provided will be destroyed the moment we jump to FTL," Harry confirmed.
Kara nodded as the ships all broke atmosphere. Caprica-Grace had provided LoK with the location and details of all of the tracking devices located on certain ships. Harry had of course verified this information by interrogating other cylons on Caprica. Caprica-Grace's information had proven trustworthy.
"Then here we go. FTL with a whole lot of people," Kara said.
The large group of ships jumped away.

Galactica Hangar Bay
"Look at that smug smile. There will be no living with her now," Tigh told Bill in a tone that wasn't really serious when Kara and the rest of the group reached where Bill and Tigh were standing.
"125,000 women and a group of rebel fighters," Bill summed it up. Anders was standing with the group having joined them onboard Galactica where his heavy raider had set down. "Fantastic job all of you," He praised. "Let's go debrief on how it went with the cylons."
"Where's Laura?" Harry asked. "I expected her to be here to greet us."
"She has her hands busy at the moment trying to hold off Baltar. Racetrack's raptor happened upon a habitable world and Baltar is trying to say we should settle there," Bill explained as they walked.
"Is he fracking damaged?" Kara demanded. "Settle on a world when there is a likely hostile cylon fleet out there," Kara said derisively.
"Caprica-Six and Caprica-Grace practically said as much," Kendra said.
Grace had informed the others that she had managed to get a copy of her personality onto Caprica with Harry's help. Therefore the Colonial higher-ups knew what to call her and knew not to give away her identity. They were free to talk about it in higher-up company now that they were back in the fleet. The group went to Bill's conference room and debriefed.
"So they are going to stop pursuing us for the time being but Caprica-Six and Caprica-Grace don't know how long that will last. That about sums it up right?" Bill asked.
"Correct Sir," Kendra replied. "I let Admiral Cain know on the way over and she basically said Baltar's plan was the last thing we needed. I didn't know what she meant at the time but now I do."
"The woman was right," Tigh agreed. "Now we just have to wait and see who gets elected."

Election Day
Many thought the addition of more than 100,000 women into the Colonial fleet would guarantee Laura Roslin's re-election considering it had been her administration that saw them freed. But these women were still trying to adjust to their freedom and cope with the horrors they had gone through at the cylon farms. Therefore these women didn't vote. They were still getting settled on the ships they had been distributed to. The crowding was immense. There was talk that the fleet may have no choice but to settle a portion of its population onto the planet that was being called New Caprica. This was at least until more ships could be built. Building more ships on such a scale could take some time.
"We're still waiting for a few more ballets to come in," James McManus, a fleet radio host, said over the radio. "What we have so far is 6,482 more votes for Baltar which puts his total now to 21,569. Roslin's total now is at 17,754. We've 2,984 more votes come in for Roslin at this point. So that is how things are looking at this point. We'll continue to bring you up to the minute coverage as the count progresses."
"Well this is exciting," Gina said from the lounge onboard Haven.
With the overcrowding going on within the fleet the women Harry had become friends with who had been living within the civilian ships had taken up rooms onboard Haven. This included Gina and Tory Foster. Harry wasn't sleeping with them…yet. But he could definitely tell the women were interested. Harry was pretty sure if their roles on Galactica and Pegasus weren't critical that Kendra and Maggie would have moved in with him. It had taken some explaining from Harry to get Kara to understand why he wasn't worried about having a cylon onboard his home. Harry had met another cylon agent within the fleet playing a reporter named D'Anna Biers. He was befriending her but he didn't think she was trustworthy even a little at this point so wasn't about to put her on his ship. Just because she wasn't living there didn't prevent Maggie from coming over to listen to the election results with her friends in Harry's lounge.
"We know you can make it more interesting Harry. Tune in that spy network of yours to the ballet room," Maggie suggested.
"Fair enough," Harry said as he activated his hidden equipment with a runic control panel.
What the others not in the know about his arcane nature thought was a hologram appeared. It wasn't the ballet room but was a hallway nearby the ballet room. Dualla could be witnessed signing a clipboard intercepting the ballets from a ship known as the Zephyr.
"Oh hoh…someone is trying to fix the election," Gina said. "They really don't want Gaius to win."
"I'm not surprised Dualla would help Roslin given her boyfriend is Roslin's aide," Kara said. "I don't want Baltar to win but this is fracked up. What are we going to do about it?" She asked Harry.
"Wait and see how things resolve themselves," Harry suggested as they continued watching the hologram in real time.
A few minutes later McManus said over the radio, "We have a few more results that have come in now. And it looks like 8,593 votes came in for Roslin. This puts her over the top. She has 24,265 votes. Baltar has 23,366 votes. Laura Roslin has retained the presidency in an improbable comeback."
Harry added holographic views into Colonial One and Gaius Baltar's lab where he was holed up with Tom Zarek. Harry muted the sound and tuned to Gaius' lab in order to see his reaction.
"I've seen many elections Gaius. You can always tell the fixed ones from the honest ones because the fixed elections don't make sense. This doesn't make sense Gaius," Zarek said.
"Laura Roslin is many things. But she's not corrupt," Gaius said. "And she's not dishonest."
"Gaius is correct but I think he's missing something here. I don't think Roslin knows," Gina pointed out.
"I think you're right," Maggie said while paying close attention to Laura's features.
Those onboard Haven continued to watch various feeds. It was Gaeta who discovered the error.
"Colonel, may I speak to you for a moment?" Gaeta requested.
"What did you need Gaeta?" Tigh asked as he came up to the lieutenant in the vote tallying room.
"Sir, these ballots from the Zephyr are wrong," Gaeta said as he held up one of the ballots. "On these ballots Dr. Baltar's name is spelled correctly. This morning the Zephyr called me to tell me their ballots had a misprint. Baltar's first name was misspelled. We didn't have the time to print new ballots so I gave them the go-ahead on my authority. So you see…these ballots are fraudulent. There is a complete chain of custody from the Zephyr to this room. So someone in this chain is either a perpetrator or a willing ally."
"I will take care of it from here Lieutenant. Thank you for bringing this to my attention," Tigh said.
"Yes Sir," Gaeta said, recognizing the finality in Tigh's tone.

Colonial One
Harry and his group watched as Bill came to Colonial One to deliver the bad news to Laura.
"A judicial tribunal may have to be convened," Bill admitted after telling Laura of the collusion of Tory Foster and Saul Tigh.
"Stop right there Bill. I gave Tory the go-ahead a few days ago. I didn't know the specifics or that she was going to involve Tigh. But Gaius Baltar cannot become president," Laura adamantly stated.
"I know he might be a bad president, Laura. But this is the election process," Bill pointed out.
"No…you don't understand," Laura whispered harshly. "He's working with the cylons."
Bill's expression darkened and he asked, "How do you know this?"
"I saw him just before the attacks on Caprica. He was with a copy of the tall blonde cylon model," Laura explained. "This was the same model as that Gina woman who accused Gaius of treason before disappearing from Galactica."
"Why are you just saying this now? That doesn't look good," Bill pointed out.
"Because I didn't remember it until I was dying. I think that is why Harry waited so long to heal me. I think LoK wanted me to remember," Laura said.
"Even if that is true…even if he somehow showed the people your memory like he has done before they know he is sympathetic to you. It was their choice by democratic election to have Gaius Baltar lead them," Bill said.
"It's the wrong choice!" Laura declared.
"Yes it is. But if you steal an election it will kill you inside," Bill said with assurance. "I know you well enough by now."
"If we don't do this we will lose," Laura pointed out.
"In the military you learn that sometimes a battle has to be sacrificed to win a war," Bill stated.
Laura nodded her agreement reluctantly after a minute.

Haven
As Harry and the others watched Gaius being sworn in as president they were left with a different perspective than all the rest of the colonials knowing what they did about Gaius' true motives.
"Frack me but he's a bad choice," Kara stated. "He'll get us all killed."
"You know I won't let that happen," Harry assured her.
"I respect their decision for the reasons they made it," Maggie said. "But damn if I'm not worried too."
"I have a feeling things will work out in the end," Gina suggested while looking at Harry with mischief dancing in her eyes.
Maggie and Tory knew Harry was like a priest for LoK just like most of the fleet. They knew LoK had a reason for having Harry house the blonde cylon so trusted him to handle her. It still made both human women a little nervous being around Gina. But so far she had been amicable to both. Harry thought that if he did end up getting closer to Maggie and Tory like he hoped to at some point he might reveal to them that Gina was more than just cylon. Kara already knew as much and so did Kendra.

Colonial One
After Gaius was sworn in as president those who opposed his plan to settle the recently discovered planet could only watch as he gave his first executive order.
"As my first executive order I am mandating immediate settlement on the planet known as New Caprica," Gaius declared.
Immediate applause broke out among the reporters assembled on Colonial One for the inauguration.

One Year Later – 78 Weeks AJtF – Haven
Harry woke to the pleasant feeling of warm bodies snuggled up against and on him. He opened his eyes and found Maggie was the one draped on top of him. She looked so adorable sleeping there on top of him. He could feel his manhood trapped beneath her body. The urge to relieve his bladder was strong. Harry mentally used a spell which relieved his bladder without having to get out of bed. On his right side lay Grace. The cylon came awake beside him and stared back at him with a small pleased smile on her lips.
"Good morning," Grace whispered with her mouth right next to his ear.
"Good morning," Harry replied back mentally.
Harry had revealed a lot to Grace in the past year about his powers. Her mind had proven to be extraordinary in helping him figure out avenues of arcane energy use that he had never considered and explore his powers granted by the Hallows. It was Grace that had helped Harry develop a method for being in multiple locations simultaneously. Harry could only split himself into three different versions right now but Grace thought as he got better at it he might be able to split himself more times. Right then Harry was lying in his bed on Haven, lying in a bed on Pegasus with Kendra & Helena, and lying in a bed on New Caprica.
"Your form has held up well," Grace replied mentally so as not to wake up Maggie.
Grace was the only one among Harry's lovers that could tell if it was his original form with her or a split copy. Harry suspected Gina might have some kind of inkling but wasn't certain.
"It's getting easier," Harry admitted.
Maggie stirred on top of Harry and her movements awakened his desire. His mind flashed back vividly to the first time he had made love to Maggie.

Grace had relived the sexual memory of her partner's first time with Maggie and it had definitely gotten Grace hot. Harry still hadn't become aware of her origin from outside his universe or of the fact that she had powers of her own. It was easy to keep such from him because despite his power and skill with arcane energy she was leaps and bounds ahead of him in that department and with her technology.
"Let me take care of that," Grace suggested. "I bet I can even do it without waking Maggie."
"I'd like to see that…feel it," Harry mused.
Grace was up to the challenge.

Author's Note 2
If you want to access the erotic versions of any of my stories follow the following instructions:
1) Go to Facebook and join the group Stargatesg1fan1's Fanfiction Works and Favorites (make sure you answer the security question)
2) Go to the Announcements section of the group. You will find a link in one of the posts to a Google drive folder. Inside that folder are copies of all of my stories (the smutty versions).
Note: If you create a new Facebook account it has to be with a legitimate name. I won't add anyone to the group that looks suspicious (it has to be a real person's name). For example, using the name "Lazy Lazy" is not a legitimate name.
I have chosen to move the erotic versions of my story to a less accessible forum which can be more closely controlled. If you cannot accept that then you don't need to be reading my stories. For those who can accept it, enjoy.
Enjoy,
