As in, there are-- were-- colonials in the universe who would swear up and down the pantheon that we really did travel in a boat down the river Styx in the afterlife. [ ffrrzzzztttt ] easy to make fun of, but they'd be the ones laughing now, I suppose. I'm dead, and look where I ended up.
I suppose they [ ffrrzzzztttt ] ing pass.
I haven't talked religion in-- well. Ever since I've been here. Not something I miss, to be clear, but there's a
discrepancy
that I'd like to explore. So talk [ ffrrzzzztttt ] your beliefs, Bargeites. Earthers, witches, the lot of [ ffrrzzzztttt ] first and last time - I'm trying to get it out of the way and over with.

Our race was subject to a war when the robots we created rebelled against us. It was messy, long and complicated.
But time had moved on. I completely agree, that obviously Cylon were flawed, and that flaw could be rectified. It would be quite simple, really, to safeguard against if we were to continue research, and perhaps gain a better understanding of--
