Rating: G
Spoilers: 4x20, "Daybreak, Part II"
Prompt: Goodbyes
It's going to be harder than he'd thought. Almost impossible, really. They have no seed, no tools, no horses, not even a cat to chase the rats away. They'll be lucky if they manage a half-decent garden, much less a farm.
Still, Gaius Baltar is happy. Caprica is with him; they will live beneath the sun and stars, and soon they'll start working on a home. They probably won't starve to death, anyway.
He sighs. He feels strangely new, as though there's another Gaius, somewhere, who never went on that mission. But all that's left to say to him is: goodbye.

Spoilers: 4x20, "Daybreak, Part II"
Prompt: Goodbyes
The Colonials and Cylons have taken to building rock cairns for the dead, like a Memorial Wall which spreads across the surface of their new planet.
Ellen watches a couple of Twos as they carry their rocks, stacking them in four piles along the edge of the hardscrabble settlement.
"Who are they for?" she asks.
"D'Anna," the first Two says. "And Simon, Cavil, and Doral."
"But... they tried to kill you!" Ellen says.
"We killed them in return. They're still our brothers. We miss them."
She frowns. "I suppose so."
"They're your sons, too. Won't you help us?"
Ellen shakes her head, and turns away.

Thanks for the kind comments!
