Why this must be read:
This fic was written before Lay Down Your Burdens aired, so it goes AU after The Captain’s Hand. While there are a lot of wonderful fics dealing with the results of the election, this one twists things even further with an attack that severely cripples Colonial One, and shows Laura dealing with the aftermath of not only losing the presidency but also her makeshift home and the people she shared it with.
“She’s incredibly good,” D’Anna Biers murmured as she watched the footage. The reporters on Galactica had broadcast it all over the fleet as soon as they got into range. They’d captured the utter chaos and carnage as the survivors from Colonial One were brought on board. It showed President Roslin helping to carry injured people off the Raptors. It showed her applying bandages and taking orders from medical personnel. It showed her on her hands and knees applying pressure to wounds that were beyond hope and crying silently as one by one, people died around her. It was quite compelling to watch.
“She’s a politician,” Gina scoffed with annoyance. “And it doesn’t matter anyway. Gaius will be president.”
D’Anna shook her head, watching a replay of the footage. “She’s sincere,” she said with awe. “Surely, you can see the potential; especially after her ‘cure’. We don’t even know for sure what she is. Or what she could become.”
