theatrical_muse259 - Write a prompt that begins with the words: "I don't understand..."
((set between 4x08 "Sine Qua Non" and 4x10 "Revelations"))
I don't understand these people. At all.
The purpose of the Quorum of Twelve was originally to give the people of the Twelve Colonies a representative voice in the government. Each member was the duly elected voice of his or her people, charged with making the best decisions that would benefit the citizens of their respective worlds. With humanity a sliver of what it once was, the Quorum has come to represent, rather than individual worlds, the sometimes disparate groups that comprise the fleet, but for the same goals and with the same responsibilities.
Instead, they act like a roomful of schoolchildren, bickering over toy starships and building blocks.
( Of the people, for the people, by the people )
