Battlestar Prometheus "The Story ...

Gastineau watched as Arispe‟s face went pale as she realized the consequences of

Prime Two, momentarily startled, turned to see Prime Six standing behind him,
her arms folded across her chest. “I wanted to be alone.” Two replied, turning back to the

“Trying to clear a guilty conscience?” Six pressed as she stepped up beside him.
“You knew he would jump at the chance for revenge and you knew that he would be
defeated, yet you led him right into it. Why?”
“It was quite simple actually. He was an obstacle to my plans.” Two replied
coldly.
Prime Six was thunderstruck. “An obstacle to your plans?” she asked
incredulously. “You set up a fellow Cylon to be killed because he disagreed with you?”
Prime Two turned to face Prime Six, his dual red eyes cycling back and forth.
“Yes, I did.”
“How could you?” Six asked, her voice stricken with pain and disbelief, “That‟s
so....” she struggled with her words.
“Human?” Prime Two asked.
Prime Six looked at him a horrified feeling inside her. “Yes.” She replied quietly.
“You know as well as I that the war is a mistake.” Prime Two said. “We didn‟t
need to begin killing these people to win our freedom from them.”
“You can‟t be serious.” Prime Six said. “You actually think the humans would
have just let us walk away?”
