(TM) 176. Scars, Stories and Lessons
May. 8th, 2007 01:48 pmTell the story of one of your past scars.
If scars tell stories, then William Adama's body wears an anthology.
Most of those marks could not easily be seen by an observer, even were the observer to examine him as he examines himself now, shirtless and facing the mirror in his head. They date to the First Cylon War and even earlier; forty-plus years have rendered them nearly or totally invisible against the mellow tan of his skin. He, however, can still find them by sight or touch as needed, remembering their stories ... and their lessons.
A handful of scars do stand out, recent enough to still be obvious. Command responsibilities can take the man off the front lines, but every so often the front lines come to him.
