[ Gaius is-- well, he looks much the same as before, on the snappier side of his personal wardrobe in pinstripe and open collar shirts, but unlike those who might have been mercilessly shoved into the world of Sanitarium Island, he gets a backdrop of a well-to-do looking office, all wooden paneling, brass pieces, a painting on the wall. ]
This wonderful conspiracy--
[ There's the column of smoke rising from the cigarette in his ashtray, the former of which he picks up. ]
We've not seen an organised movement for evasion quite to this magnitude. But the law is the law. Still, if anyone would like to appeal to me your story, I can pass it along to my superiors.
Who knows? Perhaps it would work this time.

Before he's spotted Gaius tailing him.
Honestly, if none of you have passed it along to your superiors yet, then I've got some concerns for you professionalism.

But I'd like the details.
no subject
What details do you want?
no subject
[ Sounds intrigued at the idea that they've devised a way to fool new observation, but it could also be a stalling tactic. Who knows? ] Unfortunately for you and your friends, you'll be meeting something of a brick wall. Men in the field of repossession don't really care and have their own debts to pay. And the red tape to get to anyone higher requires nothing short of a machete.
I'd like to know about this boat I keep hearing about. And where you all got information on GeneCo personnel.
no subject
Hm. You won't believe this, but do you believe in an afterlife? Heaven, hell, purgatory? Anything like that?
no subject
[ Yeah, right. ]
Not really, actually. But go on, I can listen.
no subject
That's where we know you from, Gaius, and that's where you're going back too when we're done here.

[He's watching you so closely for any sign that this is familiar, Gaius.]
no subject
Like I said. I'll see what I can do. Within the bounds of our codes of conduct, of course.
Have a very nice day, Mr. Profit.
no subject
The story.
[Sarah Connor is a week past due on a new heart--according to the records.]
The story is that people aren't what the system says they are. People are more than blips on a mhachine.
no subject
That's a story that comes up quite often. That there's been a mistake. This one seems unnecessarily more elaborate. Timed well with the network glitch.
no subject
Great. All anomalies can be explained away by a...mass glitch. Figures.
no subject
[ He sounds so blandly unconvinced. ]
no subject
If you make a mistake and people die, it's one massive 'oops' right? You can't just...give somene's heart back or their lungs or spleen, for that matter. [No heart, no life, after all. Yep. This is insane. It's also murder.]
no subject
If you and your barge friends really aren't due for repossession, then you've nothing to worry about. GeneCo doesn't make mistakes.
no subject
[Her lips thinned.]
You're part of us, Gaius Baltar. Part of the Barge crew. You really need to hang onto something when it comes to this shit. Pitching overboard like this isn't helping matters, especially when you can't remember who you really are.
[It wasn't going to help, but she had to try.]
no subject
[ He isn't touching this part, for all that trying to convince RepoMen that they aren't themselves is especially creative. Asking 'how did you lot come up with that one?' probably won't get him answers. ]
What are you due for? Sometimes, people survive the process.
no subject
no subject
No scars? That's interesting. [ But apparently not enough to warrant doing something about it. ]
no subject
Interesting, right. [She's thinking about tying Gaius to the railing on a goddamn leash when he's up on deck. Because this is ridiculous.] More like mistake. The only scars I have are definitely not from oragan replacement surgery.
private.
Look, I understand you're in a rather cornered situation, and GeneCo isn't known for its making of deals, but in this case, there could be an exception.
If you were willing to give the details on this little shared story that's circulating, and if there's any new trick to scar treatment on the black market, they might be willing to reward you with some more time on your payment plan. I promise you, it'd fare better than this silly scheme you and yours have going.
no subject
Oh, for frak's sake.
no subject
You're all going to have to do a little better than tossing my first name at me, you know.
no subject
[And again, he turns the camera on his missing leg.] If I could afford to get a leg replaced, don't you think it would be this one?

They should be able to provide you with all the paperwork you're entitled to.

As you like, Mr. Gaeta.

Do you know what happened to them?
