Look at me and tell me who I am, what I am, why I am...

Cavil called me his "pet Cylon."

Athena's answer

I think it's something that I get from only a few people, but it's important. To me, at least, it's highly important because of who and what I am. I'm a Cylon. I know Cally never respected me, and I am not going to speak ill of the dead. I know President Roslin (or is that ex-President Roslin?) obviously didn't respect me when it came to Hera. She was probably frakking pissed off when she found out she was sharing a vision with two Cylons over the Cylon-human hybrid that she had told me was dead.

Mr. Adama didn't, I think. I should count myself lucky that he actually called me "Athena" during our missions together. It took a long time for Admiral Adama to get there – a year, basically, while most of the human race was struggling to survive on New Caprica and I was stuck in hack.

( It goes both ways... )

Number Eight's answer

While We respect the decision that Natalie, our Cylon Rebellion Leader made in order to unify all of the Cylon models, We cannot stand by her any longer. She shouldn't be boxed the way that the Three models were, but at the same time, she cannot be respected by Us any longer and a mutiny must occur in order for peace to exist.

A new leader is required, one who is not afraid to say 'no' to what the other Cylons believe, yet one who can be trusted, unlike Boomer.

What is respect?

It is knowing when a model is deficient, accepting it, and moving on. We will follow you, Athena.

By Your Command.

[Locked from Helo]

Helo doesn't know, but I can tell when he's moved out of our bed and onto the couch. I don't blame him; they've shoved so many different jobs at him lately that I'm surprised that he's managed to stay sane.

Our marriage isn't as bad as other people onboard Galactica, like Major Adama and Lieutenant Dualla, or Kara and Sam but we still have our problems. At first, I thought it was anything dealing with Hera or the fact that I'm a Cylon, but I think (and I could be wrong) that it's more of outside sources forcing pressure on us. Typically, our day starts out fairly normal. We wake up (and he always sleeps on the outside of the bed while I'm right up against the cold of the wall), and we figure out who has to take Hera to daycare. Then, we kiss and we're off to our own jobs – his, though, has been in Dogsville lately.

I feel bad for him. There's nothing I can do to make him feel better. He's gone from ECO to XO and practically everything in-between. But his job at Dogsville? He hates it with a passion. It keeps him up at night, and he ends up on the couch in our personal quarters, staring off while he thinks I'm asleep.

It's funny. We've slept at a make-shift campfire site on Caprica together just fine. We've slept in a hammock. The floor… our racks back before we had our personal quarters.

Back before I was Athena and married, back when my memories take me to Boomer and the crush that Helo had on her

These days, the hardest place for us to sleep comfortably is our own bed. I wonder, at times, if I should stop feigning sleep and just join him on the couch. Maybe then, he'd know that yes, his job sucks, but its no reason to get so upset about it. All of us have our problems.

You never see me trying to sleep on our couch, after all.
