172 - If you could pick anyone in the world, alive or dead, to be your parents, who would it be...?

[number_eight]

Are you joking? I'm a frakking Cylon, and no I'm not going to get into how humans are supposedly our parents or how I have fake memories of parents that I never really knew.

I'll just direct you over to Leoben's answer and leave it at that.

Muse : Sharon (Athena, Boomer, and Downloaded versions)
Fandom: Misc TV/"Battlestar Galactica"
Word Count : N/A, but this was all any of the versions wanted to say

No. Why would I want that? It's really not my goal with anyone, least of all another cylon, but if it's a byproduct of being who/what I am, then I can't exactly change that. Not that I'd want to.

[number-eight.livejournal.com]

I don't know why you'd want that; it's why I asked you in the first place. Since you insist on speaking in riddles, though...

[leobenconoy.livejournal.com]

...and that breeds fear?

[number-eight.livejournal.com]

I didn't say that.

[leobenconoy.livejournal.com]

Then why? What does? My supposed...imbalance really can't be that big an issue. I haven't been boxed...yet.

[number-eight.livejournal.com]

And I doubt that you ever will be boxed. You want to know why people are scared of you? It's because you're a Cylon. That's it. It's not that hard to figure out; they're still scared of me, after all.

[leobenconoy.livejournal.com]

You scare a lot of people and Cylons.

Your words.

I know why the humans are afraid. It's in their nature to fear what's different from them. I know that. You know that. But cylons fearing another cylon? It doesn't end well.

[number-eight.livejournal.com]

Then why am I feared? Don't lie; I know I am. Boomer hates me, hates my daughter... Caprica doesn't seem embraced by the rest of the Cylons any longer. Three hated me.

We're not much better than the humans.
