"Roy Mustang here. I was just looking through the tactics book and apparently you shouldn't drink a good bottle of whiskey alone. Which is a shame because I happen to have a bottle I'm dying to open. Feel free to drop by tonight if you'd like to help."
"Lieutenant, I apologize for bothering you," Fraser said. "This is Constable Benton Fraser, RCMP and head of security at the school. Do you have a minute?"
"Thank you kindly," he said. "Karal Austreben is currently in my office after Professor Stinson reported a horse in his office and I viewed the security and found that Mr. Austreben was behind the prank. He, however, has stated you've already spoken to him about this incident and I just wanted to confirm."
Fraser stared at the phone for a few moments before attributing that to (hopefully) sarcasm.
"He seems contrite about it now as well," Fraser replied. "And there was no damage done to Professor Stinson's office as admitted by Professor Stinson himself. Thank you kindly for your time, Lieutenant, and for handling the situation."
"Indeed," he said and laughed. "I promise I won't be very hard on him at all. Thank you again for your time, Lieutenant. I hope the rest of your day is pleasant."
Aly sounded slightly strained when she left the message on Kerrigan's phone. "Hey, it's Aly. I'm sorry to say it but I need to go home for a few days so will miss being able to dance with you. Raincheck for next week?"

"How could I forget about you?" Cindy asked, almost purring into the phone. "Though I'm pretty sure we have plans to 'catch up' for this weekend, don't we?"
When the Cylons had revealed themselves, they'd blood, destruction, death and despair in their wake. They left evidence behind. They left tangible proof that of their presence.
What Lee was seeing now, what he wasn't seeing, actually, wasn't anything like the Cylons. It was...worse. So much worse.
The Galactica was stopped in orbit around what had once been Gemenon. There was no planet left though. Through the Viper's view screen, there was only blackness. An all encompassing blackness that was pushing forward quickly.
The stars had been blotted out. No, that was the wrong word. They'd been smeared out. They'd been erased with one broad stroke.
Lee's comms were crackling but he was ignoring them. There was nothing that could be done, not when this utter...emptiness was closing in on them from all sides.
Lee swallowed and turned his comm off. He didn't want to hear the screams when whatever was going to happen happened. He wanted to float quietly in the blackness of space, waiting for his end to come.
On a whim, he pulled an old, worn phone out of a pocket in his flight suit. It hadn't been turned on in years and he didn't even know if it worked. But, if he was going, he wasn't going quietly.
The first familiar number that appeared was the one that he dialed. "Hey, uh, Lieutenant?"
That had been her name once. "Yeah, it's Lee Adama. You might remember me. You were kind of -- a mentor to me once."
The phone cut out but came quickly back in. "Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten you. Never have, never will. You were kind of the dad I wished I had. There's something...bad happening here right now. But, I'm not gonna go down without a frakking fight."
Phone still to his ear, he thrust the Viper forward, racing towards the blackness. "Listen, if you ever talk to Adah again, tell her I miss her and I still love her."
He paused and the nose of his Viper touched the blackness. The void was before him, ready to swallow.

The phone died.
