With Friends Like These... [7]
By Marcus L. Rowland

Children wail in the work camp barracks; too many mothers dead, little food, no medicines. Martha has trouble telling her story over the noise.

A beautiful blonde wearing an immaculate red silk dress moves to the back of the room, tends to the babies. Slowly the noise dies down.

By the time Martha finishes the woman has gone. It's a while before anyone realises that five of the children are dead.

"It's God's mercy," says a man in sunglasses. "If you're right, none of this will have happened. Meanwhile, why should they suffer?" He turns away before Martha can argue.

It feels in character, especially given what happened on Caprica.

They are amongst us.

And if they've spent tens of thousands of years watching without doing anything to help mankind, I suspect that they are not exactly touchy feely types...

Its almost as if Battlestar has made the world of Sarah Connor and Terminator canon, as the cylons sit back in disbelief that humanity is going to create another race of sentient robots that will wipe them out. Everything that has happened, will happen again.
