Battlestar Galactica: Reading the Damage

A deckhand who is impossibly, precisely right about a failing hull is not lucky. He is a Cylon. That is what the fleet will decide. Dead Reckoning hangs a Board in Marko Dabrowski’s vision that reads damage — what broke, how long it holds, what saving it will cost. Every Read spends Bearing, a daily pool of nerve that erodes with use, with stress, and with holding a cover story near Colonel Tigh. Every public correctness raises the Hard Return. Save enough people in front of enough witnesses and command stops calling it talent. He once sealed a hatch on a man he could still hear. That is the arithmetic he has never stopped doing. There is a second clock the Board refuses to explain. It shows as a redacted line, and it has started to move. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Battlestar Galactica: Reading the Damage — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
