Summary
The world has changed, and you change with it. Yesterday, you were just a Pyramid player, captain of your squad. Today, you're a survivor. One of the lucky few to be on a ship with an FTL drive. You're never more thankful for a friendly match than this moment. If that one game had never happened between you and Caprica, if the team hadn't stayed longer than they did and declined the C-Bucs' offer to train together, you would be back on Tauron right now with your family. At home.
Your family.
You know what's happened to them, but you don't form the words in your mind. You block it out. You focus on the here and now. You focus on your team, but not before saying a quick prayer to Zeus, the one your ancestors called Thor, asking for protection for your loved ones. Loved ones you will never see again. Loved ones sitting next to you. Loved ones who may already be dead.
You pray.
Now you, Michael Ballack, you go and be a leader.
