Why this must be read:
At 4,000+ words, this fic is a satisfying look into the backstory of Galen Tyrol. We’ll just have to wait and see how the revelations of season 3 and what’s to come in season 4 may change the meaning of this fic, but in many ways those revelations are irrelevant to this view into the life of the Colonies, particularly Geminon, before the Cylons attacked.
Once, when he was ten, Galen was lured by the mystery of what lay behind the fluttering, red iridescent curtains his mother disappeared behind to become The Oracle.
His father said, “Some knowledge lays beyond the ken of man, son.”
His mother said, “When you’re older, you can come to The Oracle, but I’d prefer you pick another Oracle, rather than your own mother.”
Galen heard the word oracle and imagined the lips of the Lords of Kobol pressed to the white curve of his mother’s ear, imagined the breath of the Gods stirring her light brown hair from her face. He was born with the smoke of incense in his lungs and the taste of sacrificial blood on his tongue. The lure of the Gods was too strong for him, and Galen had to see behind the curtains that changed his mother from Lydia Tyrol to Conduit of the Word.
