number_eight | EM #46 Rescue

It never occurred to me to even bother rescuing Helo from Caprica after he told me to take Dr. Baltar in his place on our Raptor. It should have. I'm not really sure why it didn't. Helo was my friend, and I brought a kid back instead named Boxey and some doctor who so far, hasn't proven his worth to me.

Who would have let me go back to Caprica anyway to try to save him? The place was destroyed and crawling with toasters. It would be suicide to go back.

There's no point to it, anyway. I know, in my heart, that Helo is dead, and that I've lost one of my closest friends for life.

Kara somehow managed to go off and go back to Caprica. I don't know how the frak she got permission to do it, but she's always gotten her way and she went off to save some guy. Some random guy named Anders that I met while I was on Caprica with Helo and with her. It's funny how it all worked out. Helo thought I was there to rescue him, but instead he ended up saving me. Granted, at the time? It was insane. I was pregnant; we ran into a group of resistance fighters, and Kara… well, she's a determined frakker.

She put together a group of people to go and save Anders, and it worked.

I'm stuck onboard a Cylon Baseship. Everyone was able to go and save their loved one and have a tearful reunion except me. Then again, who would I rescue? Chief's married. My "friends" are gone and I'd rather not talk to them again.

~~I wish someone would rescue me.~~
