Why this must be read:

The best word I can use to describe this is intense. It's a story about Cally right after Boomer's shooting, trying to come to grips with what she's done and how the world around her has changed. While in the brig, she has a series of visitors, some real and some not.

"You shouldn't be here, you know. The Chief will have to cover for you."

Cally doesn't know what to say, because no, she shouldn't be here, and it's not like she'd never covered for Chief, and Valerii was a Cylon -- a dead Cylon -- and why is she in the cell with Cally anyhow?

"Why are you here?" Cally asks, and she doesn't think that it's what she was trying to say.

Boomer looks at her oddly, "Is it better when I'm not?"
