251 - What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done while sober?

[number_eight]

I don’t get drunk, so I guess pretty much anything I do that’s supposed to be embarrassing will be while I’m sober. Honestly, I can’t think of anything, though. I’ve done some things that in hindsight weren’t the brightest of ideas because, yes, I realize I tend to act before I think things through and later on I regret it.

Like the time I choked Cottle because I was convinced that he had murdered my daughter, Hera. (He hadn’t.)

Like the time I shot and killed the Six model who was coming near Hera, threatening her like she was in my vision. (She wasn’t.)

Like the time I let the Cavil model onboard Galactica simply because I was angry about Hera getting murdered. (She wasn’t.)

Looking back, I’m noticing a trend, though, and it all concerns my daughter. Hopefully she won’t grow up to think that I’m some terribly overprotective mother.

Maybe that’s what I should be embarrassed about.

Do you think we Cylon are incapable of being drunk?

I've never actually tried to get drunk, myself.

Of course you shouldn't be embarrassed about protecting Hera. Why else would God send her to you?

Yes, but it seems that it takes longer than it does for humans.

I... I don't know. She's my entire life. I don't know how I ever survived without her.

You survived so that you could have her, of course. How extraordinary it must be to create life. You are truly blessed by God, sister.

I don't think I should try to get drunk. Especially not on Galactica.

Perhaps, when we find Earth, I will celebrate.
