Wherever you are in the Fleet, this is Gaius Baltar wishing you a beautiful day.

[im_not_crazy]

 The sun's shining brightly through the wide windows before him, the sound of rustling bedsheets punctuated by birdsongs from outside.

Or at least that's what he saw with his handy-dandy Cylon-like (hmmmmmm how interesting, indeed...) projection ability.  In actuality he was facing a hatch in a drab gray metal beast of a ship.  Hardly befitting a scholar of his rank, featured on television shows and respected enough to earn the seat on the returning Raptor from Caprica.

He turns a pen in his hand idly, his other clutching a cigarette between pointer and middle fingers.

"Mmm yes, hello, at last. Just taking a break out of my busy schedule of thinking about myself to finally post a frakking layout on my journal that isn't atrocious. Finally, you're done being useless, mun.

But, then again, if you were entirely useless you wouldn't have brought me here, now would you? Hopefully they won't be as quick to throw you out of an airlock as the President was me that time."

Bitter? Gaius Baltar? Never.

Kara, for one, is glad not to walk in on Baltar jerking off again to gods know what. She's tread with caution ever since she suffered the consequences of walking into Baltar's lab unannounced. Not that he'd been bad when she'd known him intimately but, well, that hadn't gotten exactly as planned, either.

For the better, she realized as she stood two feet in front of him, waving a hand in front of his blank expression. If she flashed him right now, would he respond?

"Quit whining. You're still here. Unless your name's Leoben you're still making us all suffer."

She folded her arms over her chest as he finally looked up at her, quickly standing and clearing his throat. "Can I get my test results already?"

"Test...?"

Cue the blank look, one he was exceeding at lately. He'd run so many godsdamned tests lately he was up to his ears (and ass) in test results. Who really needed tests this often, anyway? The frakkers on this ship, apparently. Paranoid much? Gaius had had his fair share of the consequences of intimately knowing Cylons and it isn't that bad. Well, unless you count a total override of the entire Colonial defense mainframe "bad."

But, that was neither here nor there.

She blesses him with one of her fake laughs, ending with a long "whoooooo."

"You've gotta be frakking kidding me. The big doctor scientist is losing it more than I am."

She perches up on a rare empty edge of a desk and picks up a stack of papers, holding them up before letting go. Some fall to the floor in stapled clumps but most of them scatter. She smirks in satisfaction.

"Probably in here. Something about weird blood results Cottle wanted you to check. You sure you don't need another scan there, Doc?"

Mac barges in, completely oblivious to the change of scenery (except he can't find where the booze is in this place and that's completely unacceptable. He finds a dude in a lab coat talking to himself, holding a cigarette (kinda like a gay dude would, Mac thinks idly). He's not too buff, but looks pretty solid for his height. His hair's a little long, and Mac thinks he could work with that.

All right. That'll do. If he smokes surely he knows where Mac can score some beer.

"Hey, bro," he strides toward the desk, leaning forward on his palms to really show the doctor scientist dude his guns, as in his muscles - his bulging mass...of muscles. Of course.

"Does this place have any of the above: beer, hot chicks, or a gym? I'm in desperate need of all three right now."
