|  | Leoben and Cathiee on New Aerelon
« Thread Started on Jan 6, 2008, 5:50pm » | |
The following is a cleaned up version of the chat log of the awesome RP session between the #7 Cylon model that referred to itself as Leoben Conoy and Cathiee McMillan.
Cathiee had earlier been taken to the Cylon base and tortured. She was later drugged and taken to a special facility for an experiment by Leoben. This is along the lines of the Leoben/Starbuck story on New Caprica. If we ever decide that Galactica exists in our game world, the results of this experiment helped Leoben revise his plans for Starbuck.
Although we only played this out partially, it'll give you the beginnings of what she endured.
Remember, this is only if Cathiee relates it to you that you can know this within game. However, as a Cylon...you'll know that the experiment showed promise, but won't necessarily know the details unless you assume your character would go thru the datastream for full logs.
Cathiee awakes in bed in a room that looks somewhat familiar. A nicely furnished apartment, like one back in the colonies before the war. Her head is hazy, her memory dimmed from the drugs. The curtains are closed, but there's light outside.
Leoben leans over her, gradually coming into focus, gently washing her face.
Leoben: There there honey...Good...you're waking up....
Cathiee flutters her eyes open. Leoben kisses her on the forehead.
Leoben: I was so worried after you fell down the stairs...
Cathiee looks at him oddly and pushes herself back. "Wh..wh..where am I?"
Leoben: You're in bed...back here at home...
Cathiee looks around the place
Leoben: I was so worried, I almost called the doctor back.
Cathiee's head feels foggy trying to look at him. She sits up pulling the covers up close over her and tilts her head.
Leoben: The doctor said you might have some problems remembering things after the accident. You have a concussion.
Cathiee: Acc..accident?
Leoben: Yes...
Cathiee: "What what happen to me?"
She moves her hand through her hair and feels her head.
Leoben: You were in an accident...you fell down the stairs at the mall...it was awful...someone was robbing the shop and then just knocked you down...you fell down the stairs and over into the square. You hit your head badly. You were in the hospital for a few days, but got discharged last night. The doctor said you'll slip in and of things for a few days.
Cathiee: Mall, hospital… Ohhh gawd my head.
Leoben: It's ok honey...I love you so much...I'm glad you're ok
Cathiee: I feel like a thousand daggits barking at once. Wait…who…who are you?
Leoben: You don't remember honey?
Cathiee looks at him blankly.
Leoben: We've been married for two years...
Cathiee: I don't .... we have?
Leoben shows her his ring and hers...Cathiee takes the ring and looks at it. As she looks around she sees pictures of them both together. Here at home, at the beach, backpacking. She struggles hard to recall.
Leoben: I brought us to our lil country getaway...
Cathiee looks around the room, takes the picture from the bedside table.
Leoben: The doctors said getting out of the city and bringing you to a quiet, familiar place might be best for you.
Cathiee sees a picture of them both at the beach on Libris. She stares at it for a while.
Leoben: That was a great time...you remember?
Cathiee smiles a little and nods
Leoben: Gods I miss the beach. We can go back there again when you feel better.
Cathiee looks blank at him.
Cathiee: Yes. Um, I…I know I am Cathiee.
Leoben: Here...you wanna sit up babe?
Leoben helps her to a seated position and puts some pillows behind her.
Cathiee: What do I call you?
Leoben looks at her in shock at her question.
Leoben: Sweetheart, it's me....Leoben...Leo...
Leoben looks like he might cry.
Cathiee sits up a bit and notice the huge scar on her side and runs her fingers over them.
Cathiee: L…L…L…Leo? Not sure.
Leoben: It's ok honey...I know...it's gotta be all confusing...take your time.
Leoben: Here, you thirsty?
Cathiee nods yes
Leoben offers her some water. She takes it and sips it. "Ohhhh wow, my mouth was dry." She drinks it down.
Cathiee rubs the scar. "When did i get this?"
Leoben: That was before we met...
Cathiee looks at Leo and then the scar.
Leoben: C'mon...you remember the story...
Cathiee: I…I..can't remember.
Leoben: It's ok baby...just don't worry about it right now...it'll all come back in time, but for now, I'm just so glad you're ok..."
Cathiee looks into his eyes.
Leoben: I was so scared...I was so worried that hit on your head would cause permanent damage
Cathiee: (nods) I am sorry I made you worried.
Leoben: But the doctors said all of this is temporary. It's ok....everything's gonna be alright now...
Leoben gets up and tries to brighten the mood.
Leoben: Do you wanna take a shower and get cleaned up?
Cathiee: (nods) Yes, please. Leo. I would like to.
Leoben: Here babe...lemme help you up.
Leoben helps Cathiee to stand up.
Leoben: Lets get you out of these...
Leoben helps her undress and leads her to the shower...
Cathiee walks to the shower with Leo. He turns on the water and checks the temperature...
Leoben: There...that's pretty good...you know these old pipes...*chuckles*
Cathiee walks in and sees the full vanity mirror. She slips into the shower and lets her head fall. She relaxes into it, letting the water run over her body.
Leoben puts her clothes in a hamper and starts getting her fresh clothes.
Leoben: Lemme know if you feel dizzy or anything baby... I'm just getting you some fresh clothes to put on.
Cathiee feels the water and steam relax her. She lets the water ease her muscles which feel weird. Leoben comes into the bathroom and washes his face in the sink...looks at his face in the mirror.
Leoben: Sorry babe...I should've shaved...know how you hate it when I'm scruffy...
Cathiee looks out at him, her head head still foggy. Leoben takes off his shirt and prepares to shave...
Cathiee washes her hair, and cleans herself all over.
Cathiee: Leo.
Leoben: I'll bet that feels good
Cathiee: What do I do?
Leoben: Yeah honey?
Cathiee: I mean, do I work?
Leoben: You're a photographer. One of the best.
Cathiee nods
Leoben: You've got a such a great eye for beauty...if I do say so myself...
Leoben: (chuckles) After all, you picked me didn't you?
Cathiee chuckles a little
Cathiee: So, when did we meet?
Leoben finishes shaving and rinses his face and puts his shirt back on.
Leoben: We met about 3 years ago.
Cathiee grabs a towel over sized and wraps it around her as she steps out of the shower.
Leoben: You were on assignment, so was I. I was working in the campaign office for President Adar.
Cathiee moves to the mirror. She looks and sees the scar on her face. She tries hard to recall how it happened. Leoben looks at her sensitively.
Leoben: I know honey...
Cathiee: I had this before I met you?
Leoben traces it with his finger...
Leoben: No...this is new. But you're still as beautiful as ever to me.
Leoben kisses it tenderly. Cathiee looks up into the mirror into his eyes, seeing the "love" in them. He pulls her in to an embrace and smiles. She turns and lets him hold her.
Leoben: It's so great to have you up and about....I'm so glad you're feeling better...
Cathiee snuggles in as she plays with his collar. She rests her head against him and looks into the mirror. He runs his hands thru her hair and down her back. His eyes meet hers as they both meet gaze in the mirror.
Leoben: I love you Cathiee.
He pauses.
Leoben: What's wrong honey...You look kinda sad...confused.
Cathiee: I love you too.
Leoben smiles widely when she says it. Something in his eyes changes for a moment. This doesn’t escape Cathiee. He looks back into her eyes as if searching for something. She looks at him with a searching curiosity, wondering what it was that she saw.
Leoben turns away for a moment and Cathiee lays her head back down. When he turns back he is smiling kindly and kisses her full on the lips.
Cathiee is surprised at first, but returns the kiss.
Leoben: Are you hungry honey?
Cathiee feels kinda distant from the kiss and takes a moment to return to her senses.
Cathiee: Yes, I could eat…
Leoben: Here's another towel..and...here's your clothes...I'll get something going for you in the kitchen
Cathiee: Thank you hon...honey.
Leoben goes into the kitchen and sets to work making the both a meal. Familiar smells waft through the place.
Leoben: (calls from the kitchen) I got a bottle of Ambrosia to celebrate. The doc said it's ok for you to have it if you'd like.
Leoben puts some plates of food on the table.
Leoben: (still talking to her from the other room) I'm kinda hungry myself...haven't been able to sleep or eat with you not bein' yourself.
She comes into the kitched dressed and looks at him, still taking it all in.
Cathiee: I have a scar on my back as well?
Leoben pours her some ambrosia.
Leoben: It was a bad accident honey. They did what they could...but it may take some surgery they can do later.
Cathiee takes the Ambrosia. She looks at the glass, the looks at the ring. He pours himself a glass and raises it to her.
Leoben: To my Cat and her miraculous recovery...
Cathiee raises it up as well....and then hesitates. The date on the bottle is all wrong. This isn't a dream. Something isn't right.
Cathiee looks at him and meets his eyes directly.
Cathiee: You know honey…something clicked.
Leoben: Yes sweetheart? (becomes enthusiastic) That's great! I'm so glad.
Cathiee: You would know that I…
She takes the bottle and looks at it
Cathiee then stands up and smashes the bottle against his head, "I hate Being Called CAT!!!"
Leoben staggers back, blood gushes from the wound. He falls to the floor. She takes the broken bottle into her hand.
Leoben turns and smiles at her. She stradles him.
Leoben: I didn't know that...
Cathiee: You frakkin' bastard…
Leoben: My frakup I guess...
Cathiee jams the broken bottle neck into his eyes. He screams in pain.
Cathiee: You frakker…you….
Leoben screams and writhes on the floor
Cathiee shouts:Yyou gawd d**n! Frakker!!!!
Leoben: I love you Cathiee...
Cathiee sees the blood rush out and into her hands. She crawls away back from the Seven. Blood starts to come from his mouth as he coughs. He stumbles to get up.
Leoben: I'd endure anything just to be with you.
Cathiee stands in shock over what she did holding the bottle part in her hand.
Leoben stumbles toward her...coughing blood
Cathiee: GET AWAY FROM me!!!!
Leoben collapses forward against her
Leoben: Cathiee…
She staggers backward in horror seeing this…this…thing coming towards her. He reaches for her, grabbing her ankle and pulls himself closer.
Leoben: ....Cath...Cathiee.....
Cathiee's hands tremble as she looks at the Cylon at her feed. She moves her booted ankle from his grasp and kicks him in the face with the heel.
Cathiee: Get the Frak AWAY from me.
Leoben falls backward and groans in misery.
Leoben: ...Cath...Cathiee
He starts toward her again. She looks around frantically for some way out of this nightmare. She grabs a longer shard of glass.
Leoben: ....I....I love you....
Cathiee sees Leo's head arch up, and slashes at his neck
Leoben: I always knew you were the....*gurgle*
Leoben blood spews forth from the wound. She breathes heavily, her hands covered in blood.
Leoben looks at her with his one remaining eye in shock. His hands grasp at his neck as the blood flows and spurts forth.
Cathiee crawls to the other side of the room.
Leoben leans back against the chair...hands frantically trying to press against it to stop the flow.
Cathiee looks on in horror.
The blood continues to flow...and he still looks at her with the one eye
Cathiee: (screams at it) DIE you Frakker!!! Die
Leoben's breathing becomes shallower, his movements slow...until his hands slowly drop to his sides. His body slumped against the leg of the table.
His now lifeless eye stares at her.
Cathiee watches in horror as it stares at her.
Cathiee looks around the house. She throws open the drapes and finds that the windows are barred. The large steel door is sealed shut. She's trapped in this prison.
Cathiee: Ohhhh Gawd and gawdesses save me!
Giving up, she slumps back against the kitchen cabinet and slides to the floor, staring at the body. She curls up into a ball and whimpers. Time loses meaning for her. Before she realizes it, it is dark.
She's eventually roused by the sound of the door opening and then shutting.
Leoben walks in, resurrected, wearing the same clothing as before. He walks into the kitchen where Cathiee is still in the corner.
Leoben: Well sweetheart...that was unpleasant
She looks up at him, trembling..
Cathiee: Get the frak away from me.
Leoben: Why? Don't you see how things CAN be...how beautiful they were when you woke up.
Leoben goes to her and helps her up
Leoben: Let's wash this off babe.
She flinches from him.
Cathiee: Get your metal claws off me.
She jerks away
Leoben: That's not what you said before. I was soft wasn't I? Tender…I have flesh just like you.
Cathiee: Ohhh gods and goddess's why are you doing this to me. Why….
She starts to whimper.
The new Leoben wets a washcloth with warm water and soap and comes forward to her. He kneels down and tenderly starts washing the blood from her. She seems absent from what he is doing.
Cathiee: Why can't you leave us alone.
Cathiee cries.
Leoben: Are you sure that's what you really want? For a while there...you seemed truly happy. You even told me that you loved me.
Cathiee: You frakkin' tricked me! You are playing games!
She kicks at the floor at him.
Cathiee: Frakkin' get away…
Leoben: No, I'm just trying to help you...
Leoben moves back toward her to wash the blood from her hands.
She looks at him. Not sure what to do.
He looks down at her hands in his.
Leoben: A baptism in blood. Isn't that poetic. That's appropriate for a rebirth.
He smiles at her with genuine caring. She looks at him blankly.
Leoben: After all, the flesh is born of blood and bone...isn't that what the scriptures say?
Cathiee: Yea? A rebirth, huh? Well you made me into a…a..killer!
Leoben: No, you chose that yourself. I offer you another choice. Life. A life with me. Together. In harmony. In peace. In lov…
Cathiee then gives the seven a kickboxing kick that her freind Kilt was teaching her. He slides backward on the floor and falls as she rises. He comes to seated, gasping for breath as the wind is knocked out of him.
Cathiee: No. YOU made me this. You Frakking Cylons!
Leoben: (recovering his breath and panting) I'm just a person like you.
Cathiee: Frakkin are not..
Leoben: Maybe born differently yes, but a person just the same.
'Cathiee: You're a frakkin; machine!
Leoben looks down at his dead former body.
Leoben: That doesn't look much like a machine, does it?
Cathiee does a low sweap kick to try to knock him off his feet, but this time he's prepared and moves just enough to avoid falling.
Leoben smirks.
Cathiee looks down having forgotten about the older body with the dried blood.
Leoben: This is why I chose you. You have spirit. You have drive. You're more REAL and ALIVE than the others.
Cathiee stops her advances and looks at her earlier work. Not seeing machine parts; just flesh and blood.
Leoben: See...I'm not that different than you, am I?
She stumbles back a bit.
Leoben: We're so much alike. You don't have to choose death. You can choose life. The others can't seem to understand this, but I know that you can. You're capable of so much....
She clenches her hands into a fist.
Leoben: But this doesn't have to be what you choose.
He slows moves toward her
Cathiee: I didn't choose this…you frakkin did.
Leoben: I did, but in time, you will learn to love me. And say it like you did just a while ago.
Cathiee: Look at me!
She holds out her arms covered in blood. Her wounds from her torture exposed.
Cathiee: Your kind scarred me.
Cathiee: I bloody hope they didn't get anything from me! And your not either!
She moves away from him.
Leoben: I don't want to force you Cathiee. But in time...you will choose me.
Cathiee: I can never…love you. You're a machine. A copy of a copy of a copy.
Leoben: No.
He motions toward his dead duplicate....
Cathiee doesn't look at it
Leoben: I'm still unique...we're not just what we appear to be on the outside. I'm Leoben...inside here *points to his chest* This is still me...
Cathiee: Ahhh that where you hard drive is…in your chest.
Leoben: Hard drive...no....there's no such thing within us. We're tissues and veins and blood and bone and flesh…
Cathiee: And something else.
Leoben: Our synthetic components are minimal.
Cathiee: (looks at him) Then why do you need hybrid children? Huh? Tell me that! Can't you get it on with your sister…?
Leoben: Why do humans want children?
Cathiee: (ignoring him) You say your all frakkin' different!
Leoben: No, we cannot reproduce within ourselves...but we've learned that we can with you.
Leoben: Do you think Siri evil? She's part human part cylon. Did you know that?
Cathiee: Yea…I know that…and the President's son.
Leoben: Would you kill Siri because she's a machine?
Cathiee: NO!!!
Leoben: Or him?
Cathiee: No!!!
Leoben: Then why ME? Why any of us?
Cathiee slumps in the corner. He moves foward slowly. The feeling of pain of having killed something overwhelms her. He comes forward to hold her.
Leoben: I know....let it go. It's ok...let go of the pain.
She curls up and sinks her head in her knees and sobs with her entire body. He places his arms around her and pulls her into him.
Leoben: I know...I know. Let go of the pain. It's ok....I won't hurt you.
Cathiee can't stop shakin and crying. Leoben gently lifts her head and looks at her with real compassion in his eyes. He wipes the blood from her face and gently touches her tears.
Leoben: It's ok.
Cathiee looks into his eyes looking for that flicker she saw previously, but can find nothing of the sort. She looks now into human eyes through her tears. He looks back at her and sees the recognition. He smiles genuinely at her.
Leoben: Here, c'mon Cathiee...let's get you cleaned up.
He offers to help her up, and she stands. Leoben positions himself between her and the body so she doesn't have to face her earlier work.
He walks the trembling woman back to the bathroom sink and turns on the faucet. She moves to the sink in a daze. She turns the water on, and he gently places her hands under the warm tap.
Leoben soaps his hands as he stands behind her...cradling her. She starts to wash her hands.
Leoben caresses her arms as he lathers them to help wash her sins away. He brings his body in close behind her.
She looks up into the mirror seeing her scar, then into Leo's eyes. She seems him looking back at her with genuine concern.
He soaps her hands and rubs the blood away from them.
She looks at his eyes in the mirror.
Leoben nuzzles her neck as he washes her...drawing closer.
Cathiee arches and looks in the mirror. He gently breathes on her neck. His eyes look for signs of approval in the mirror. She sees her scar, then looks into his eyes. He proceeds to nibble on her earlobe gently. She coos and moves against him.
Leoben blows gently on her ear and neck. He wraps his wet arms around her and kisses her neck tenderly.
Cathiee watches in the mirror. He gently turns her head toward him and looks in her eyes and then moves his lips toward hers. He looks as if he's in ecstasy, and he closes his eyes as he moves in to kiss her.
Cathiee looks at him and smiles. She seizes the moment and throws him into the mirror, using his weight to propel him. The surprised Leoben is caught totally offguard and smashes against it.
She takes Leo's head and pulls it up and then smashes it into the sink. Then, with her heel kicks the back of his knee. He groans and falls to the ground.
Cathiee: You Frakker!!!!!
She looks around the room frantically for something…anything…
He stands up slowly and straightens his clothing.
Cathiee yanks the metal towel hanger from off the wall. He grabs her arm to stop her. She yelps under his strong grasp.
Leoben: No... You don't have to do this.
Cathiee lifts her leg and drives her heels into his foot with all her weight behind it. He loses his grip and hops on the good foot.
Leoben: Mother frakker! d**n that hurts.
She takes the metal rod and bashes him in the head with all her might. Leoben falls back and collides with the commode.
She looks around again for something else, but finding nothing else immediately suitable, strikes him again with the bar.
He slumps onto the floor holding his head in pain.
Cathiee stradles Leo. He struggles against her, trying to stand.
Leoben turns and looks in her eyes with his blood streaked face. There's a brief moment of silence as they each look at one another.
Then Cathiee raises the metal rod high above her head and slams it down into his chest. It pierces him deeply. Leoben screams in agony. Cathiee continues to drive it into him.
Leoben struggles against her and grasps the bar, trying to pull it out as she shoves it in further.
Cathiee raises her fist and hits him in the face. She punches his face over and over again; her fists becoming brusied and bloodied. She stops to regain her breath.
Leo's swollen face just looks at her. He spits blood and a tooth.
Then Cathiee shoves the rod in deeper.
Leoben screams. She grabs hold of her and pulls himself up the rod toward her. He grabs the back of her head and pulls her to him. He kisses her with with his bloodied mouth.
Leoben has a death grip on her...making the struggle difficult
Cathiee she pushes the rod home in panic.
Leoben moans a long deep wrenching sob and expires…
Cathiee slides away, and slumps against the wall…recovering her breath. Wondering if the nightmare will never end.

Just as a point of reference. Galactica does exist. The day of the attack, we were listening to the decommissioning ceremony. As the attack progressed, we did receive the summons from Commander Adama to meet it. However, we were on the far side of the Colonies, badly damaged (on fire, in fact), and unable to comply. As far as we know, the Galactica was destroyed. We rescued a Galactica fighter pilot in his damaged and disabled Viper Mk VII who seemed to verify it. The rescued pilot turned out to be a Cylon.

World's Shortest Fairy Tale:
Once upon a time, a girl asked a guy, "Will you marry me?" The guy said "No!" so the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, drank martinis with friends, always had a clean house, never had to cook, had a closet full of shoes and handbags, stayed skinny, and was never farted on. The End |

As noted. My character saw the Galactica take a nuke but did not see the final outcome. Jumped away and found its way to Pacifica which at the time had not been nuked.
Yet.

Baltar: What of our bargain? My colony was to be spared!
Imperious Leader: I now alter the bargain.
Baltar: How can you change one side of a bargain?
Imperious Leader: When there is no other side. You have missed the entire point of the war.
Baltar: But I have no ambitions against you!
Imperious Leader: Could you think me so foolish as to trust a man who would see his own race destroyed?
