It's not unheard of for someone in a stressful job to seek a little help from food or medicine. Hell, you could have been taking it to get your visions back for all we knew.
If that's what you really and truly think of me, and not a justification of what you did that day, then we really have nothing left to say to each other, Mr. Adama.
What I did was my job. As someone who's had plenty of people disagree with decisions you've made in what you felt to be the best interests of the fleet, I should think you'd understand.
Listen, I realize that some of the others have been giving you people a hard time over not being able to come back sooner. And I'm sorry for that. For what it's worth, I know it was because we couldn't come up with the right codes for the frequency until we did. You were forced to wait until you could come back for us.
Just like we were forced to do everything in our power to make your return trip worth it. For all you knew, there wasn't even anyone left to come back for until we got in touch with you.
I wasn't there with you. You weren't there with me. I understand. Why can't you?
If you're willing to cross those lines, Chief, then it makes it harder to remember just what kind of humanity we're supposed to be protecting. We've seen what happens when humans let themselves be inhumane. Admiral Cain, for one.
