Interstellar Relations, Monday, 6th Period

Laura stood at the front of the classroom, clad in a bulky grey sweater, her hair having air-dried to a very natural wave. She clutched a coffee cup in one hand as she hugged herself in an effort to keep warm. It might have been readily apparent that she hadn’t been resting well.

“Good morning,” she said, forcing a presidential smile. “I’m glad to see each of you made it through the weekend safely.” She didn’t mention that she had spent the weekend holed up in her apartment, trying to make sense out of the reality she found herself in. Logic and order had eventually won out – but not before it had caused her a few sleepless nights.

“Because we didn’t get everything done, we’ll be continuing from last week’s group activity. Well, with one slight alteration: As some of you might have guessed, the Cylons have followed the Colonials to Earth. They are not firing yet; their major demand is that you turn over the Colonial fleet. Beyond this, they say they only come in peace. It is up to you to determine your policy and help shape the policy of the galaxy.”

A wry grin twitched at the corners of her lips, lighting shadowed eyes. “No pressure, right?” Taking a sip of her coffee, she stood in silence, regarding them for a moment. “Okay, kids. Go to it.”

Ray so knew this would happen. He waited around to see what his group members would say about this latest situation.

"We are so super frakked," Cally said.

"Like hell I'm letting us get turned over to the Cylons," Anders growled. He might still have been in a bit of a kill-'em-all mood after the weekend. "Come in peace, my ass."

"What're you gonna do? We can't fight either side, here."

"You have a better idea?" asked Anders, more belligerently than the situation probably warranted, but then he was still kind of mad at her. "I'm just the military guy. One of you diplomat types talk it out with the Thirteenth Colony, if you want, but when they start firing . . ."

"Yeah. We abandon the ships, hit the surface, and blend in. No one can frakking tell the difference between us physically, right?"

"But the Cylons'll be pretty obvious," Anders conceded, and yep, still glaring. "Once they figure out that we look the same, though, what's gonna stop 'em from trying to kill all of us?"

Fortified by a large cup of coffee, Isabel waited to discuss this new turn of events with her prime minister. After this weekend, she wasn't inclined to look favorably upon anything resembling an invasion or the threat of one.

"Well, frak," Cally said. "My plan didn't think that far."

Peter smiled at Isabel as he sat down. "How's your knee, Majesty?"

"I don't think 'Thanks for letting us hide out on your planet, now we're gonna get you all killed' goes over too well," Anders said.

"Yeah," Cally said. "...you think they'd actually leave the planet alone if we turned ourselves over?"
