Possiblity: The Resistance by hackaddict (PG-13)

Hi! I'm Faith, and I'm the this month's driver for the fandom of Battlestar Galactica. Such a long hiatus... but we've got some goodies to bide the time until October. I'll mainly focus on Kara/Lee, but I've got some interesting parings up my sleeve, so don't worry, there will be plenty of variety. :)

Why this must be read: [livejournal.com profile] hackaddict's Possibility series takes a look at how things might have been had one vital moment been changed. This one looks at the "possibility" that Baltar had told the truth to Boomer during the events of "Flesh and Bone". The original characters in this piece definitely have character. I love this one so much, it's the link hiding underneath my flist. Just in case I misplace it. ;)



Mason Thrace stared up at the night sky. This was her home. This planet without a name that had no stars in the sky. All the people she had loved had died for her to have this place.

She wiped a tear from her cheek and thought back to the day she had been thrown into this mess. The Old Fleet had been torn apart systematically by the Cylons without them even being aware that it was happening. The original survivors had been fighting for eight years without making it one step closer to this destination.

Earth.

What a crock of shit.

It didn’t exist. She knew that even if her mother had believed in its existence up to the day she died. Her mother had never been one for having hope. She was more the type for self-deprecation and self-denial. But in this instance, she had had all the hope left in the world. If there was one thing she believed in besides her daughter and her best friend, it was the fact that the Old Man would never lie to her.

Her mother had kept enough faith in the existence of a thirteenth colony that she was the only voice of reason during the final Cylon Betrayal. Within minutes, she had persuaded Colonel Lee Adama, Chief Cally Winters, and Captain Stephen Meyers, affectionately known as Crashdown to every single person still alive, to help her steal a towing ship large enough to carry three Vipers and a Raptor from the hanger bay. Her mother had taken the children of the Fleet and turned her back on everything she had ever fought for without giving it a second thought.

She chose not to stay and fight. Instead, the great Starbuck ran.
