What’s brave, what’s noble, Let’s do it after the high Roman fashion, And make death proud to take us. (Antony and Cleopatra, 4.13.87)
BSG ➝ Final Cut
They wake up in the morning, put on their uniforms, and do their jobs. Every day, no pay. No rest. No hope of ever laying down the burden and letting someone else do the job. There are no relief troops coming, no Colonial fleet training new recruits every day. The people on Galactica are it. They are the thin line of blue separating us from the Cylons.

I suppose a long time ago it was architecture. There was a year there where I scribbled floor plans on everything. Dining room table, patio tiles, rare books… drove my parents crazy.
How old were you?
I don’t know, uh, eight maybe, nine? I tell you one thing, though, I had some pretty frakking amazing ideas. Restaurants shaped like food. And top-heavy buildings, and stairways, everything had to have a stairway. When I was older… then it became medicine, and engineering, photography. I think I would’ve made a better architect than any of those, though. And then I discovered science. And I… I thought I was really, really good at it. Until I met you.
Felix…
Don’t. And please, no religion. I’m fine with how things have worked out. Really, Gaius, I am. I… I just hope… I hope that people realize… eventually… who I am
I know who you are, Felix. I know who you are.

bsg 1.07, six degrees of separation
In recent months, the Cylons have been recruiting and training humans in an attempt to establish a human police force. It is hard to think of anything more despicable than humans doing the dirty work of the Cylons, led to believe they were merely taking the civilian security out of the hands of the Cylons. And members of the human police have since become an extension of the Cylons’ corporeal authority. And while their names are kept deeply confidential, there is no question some of them are people we might least expect. Hundreds of us have been rounded up by the Cylons, held in detention, questioned, tortured. Others have simply vanished. In recent weeks, we’ve been gaining access to some very important documents from a source within Baltar’s administration. No one knows who this mysterious benefactor is. But he communicates with the insurgents by means of a secret signal. We pray every day for the men and women who risk their lives to fight the Cylons. They have everything to lose. And such little hope of something to gain. I pray they will not falter in the days ahead.

“There’s a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”
