Why this must be read: For some reason, Helo/Athena seems to be a pairing that isn't seen nearly enough in BSG fic. I have no idea why, when their relationship is so rife with possibilities. This beautiful story explores what it means to be human and what it means to be Cylon. The writing is spare and every word is carefully placed, like diamonds set in a beautiful ring.
Please note that the story is set just after the Pegasus arc and it may be a little triggering for some, although nothing is graphic.
Dreams were another thing humans claimed. You shouldn't be able to have dreams, they screamed in close quarters. You shouldn't eat, you shouldn't love. You can't rape a machine. Never mind that none of them could explain what made them different; they'd had her in custody for months and nobody had yet been able to locate her processor, to map out her programming. They didn't seem to accept that a human brain is little more than an organic computer. That once your creations evolved, and birthed creations of their own, something fundamental has changed.
She dreamed every night in the cell. A Six had once told her that night visions were just electrical oddities, necessary manifestations of the central hard drive's re-partitioning. Images, emotions — files — would reappear briefly as they were catalogued, and disappear again in the light of day. Nothing to worry about, she'd said calmly, her perfectly glossed lips glinting like steel.
Sharon was nothing like the Sixes.
