Battlestar Galactica: Sixteen Now

A/N- Laura's mother is called Judith. She's referred to as 'Jude' here a couple times.

Laura Roslin stepped onto the fleet's newest battlestar, Galactica. It was painted dark gray with florescent lights and metal furniture. She clicked down the hall in her newest heels, following the others. She was a runner-up in a political essay contest, and this was the prize.

She hadn't wanted to come, but Jude Roslin had insisted it was a good opportunity. They had gone shopping for clothes the day the letter had come. Now she was the only one dressed fancier than un-ripped jeans and a sweater. White eyelet dress, nylons, four-inch black heels, smooth black suit jacket. On top of that, her mother had curled her hair.

I look ridiculous. I just have to make the best of it, though. Knees bent, toe to heel. Shoulders straight, chin up. She flicked her hair over her shoulder, taking pride in her head-and-a-half over the others and the professional click of her heels on the floor. She carefully kept her eyes on the ship and her fighters.

• ultimate win is to have good "overlord" who is really just a defender/protector not overlord

Drabble #1

She could feel the wind at her back. It chilled her skin and whipped her blue surcoat about her knees. But it felt good. It kept her awake, kept her concentration sharp as she padded through the field.

She felt more alive than she had in quite a while.
