number_eight: (Boomer - Cylon)
How can I answer this? I've died already.

I'm a Lieutenant in the Colonial Fleet, fighting against the Cylons to survive. I guess the right answer, if you just looked at those specs, would be that I want to die in the line of duty. In battle. Something like that -- fighting the enemy, shot, my Raptor explodes, take your pick. The trouble is that I'm a Cylon. I'm one of the so-called "bad guys", so if you just looked at it that way, then the answer would be never. Never die, live forever, survive and wipe out humanity.

Boomer died twice that I know about. Shot once by Cally, and her neck was snapped by Caprica right before my own eyes after she tried to hurt my daughter. That right there is the real trouble with being a Cylon who's had too much contact with humans. It makes you more human, more fallible. That's also the reason that it's a good thing, though. Do I think Boomer deserved to die because of what she did to the Admiral? No. Do I think she deserved to die for what she did to Hera? Yes. Justice isn't a perfect system, and I'm not perfect either.
