Double Impact “The Homecoming” by Bobvan (aka Adrikk)

@kisupure It wouldn’t have played well with the corpsmen, but Gray deserved to take Wesson out.

@kisupure

Good for Finch.

Rice(-402) letting Wesson get the drop on him has got to hurt more than the round in his shoulder.

@smolchlo Some people just don’t know the value of what they have. You’d do better being auctioned on eBabe.

@mrgoblinging7 What’s your fruit-cup size?

@kisupure I remain deeply impressed by your ability to make the environment so compelling, rising above and rendering trivial the human-nak conflict. I also really enjoy how the hardship afflicts Gray and Rice differently.

Rice, and all the sons of the Algorithm, were an attempt at something new, and it was that newness that drew her to him.

This reminds me of a path-not-taken by the recent iteration of Battlestar Galactica. The Cylons are a very young civilization, and they look at humans with a weird mix of arrogance and deep insecurity. This story’s tropes encourage Rice to (seem to) have boundless confidence, and his knowledge of how the corpsmen are being farmed by the Naks keeps him from speaking freely around Gray, but he has to be aware of how precarious the whole setup is, and you have deftly hinted at that.

Of course, now I want to know how the new sentinel also knows the corpsmen by name. Has Rice been gossiping?
