The beauty of my role is that desperation makes you feel confident.
And that is after in a suburban public medical facility you drugged me up beyond any reasonable point that was medically necessary.

Back in the summer of 2005, after I became homeless, I wandered around for a while as I have written. I was exhausted at went again to the police, this time the Redmond police for help. They didn’t ask me any substantive questions and instead took me to Overlake hospital. I remember a doctor made a confusing remark about how he didn’t know I was now homeless. I wondered what that meant but it was consistent with my suspicions that people knew who I was everywhere I had been going for all those years.

May 4, 2005, was the day I went to the Kent Police department for help. I named George W. Bush specifically as one of the people harassing me. The policeman didn’t ask me any questions. He dumped me off at the St. Francis hospital in Federal Way where the first thing they did was secretly drug my food. I found it very hard to restrain the urge to laugh shortly after I had eaten. I wanted to leave the hospital and go back to my apartment the next day, the 5th, but they talked me out of it and I stayed there until the next day, the 6th. I didn’t know which bus would take me back to the Kent Police Department and I ended up having to walk a long ways. With a single red folder in hand, I walked all the way from the intersection of I-5 and Kent-Des Moines Road, taking a left on West Meeker Street, to the Kent Police Department where my Jeep was parked. I saw some chatter online after I got back to my apartment about how interesting it was that I wanted to leave on the 5th, which the date could have been written as 5-5-5. A few days after I got back to my apartment, I ran out of food and went for those 9 days without anything to eat. At the point of a one-way trip to a tall bridge, as a stroke of luck would have it, I discovered that the three hundred dollars in my checking account was then unfrozen and I ate that night. Maybe this happened before the starving period or after, I’m not certain. Actually it was at the end. After nine days, I was going to kill myself rather than stay there for another 30 days or so and starve to death. I had enough money to eat again for a while but I didn’t have enough money to pay the rent, so on May 31st, I moved out. I sleep in my Jeep for the next 14 days before I went into the Redmond Police Department, exhausted, and asked them for help because I had lived in that town before Kent and I had worked for Microsoft, which was based in that town. They didn’t ask me any questions and just dumped me off at the hospital. They took me to Overlake in Bellevue first. The nurse seemed too eager to introduce herself to me, my instincts telling me there was something wrong with her introduction, but I couldn’t understand why.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
1X08 - FLESH AND BONE
Original Airdate: February 25, 2005 (USA)
Leoben - You believe in the gods, don't you? Lords of Kobol and all that?
Starbuck - Why should I tell you?
Leoben - Come on, it's not a trick question I just wanna see how much I got right so you pray to Artemis and Aphrodite?
Starbuck - Where's the warhead?
Leoben - ( Laughing ) I was right. See, our faiths are similar but I look to one god, not to many.
Starbuck - I don't give a damn what you believe.
Leoben - To know the face of god is to know madness. I see the universe. I see the patterns. I see the foreshadowing that precedes every moment of every day. It's all there, I see it and you don't. And I have a surprise for you. I have something to tell you about the future.
Starbuck - Is that so?
Leoben - It is. But we have to see this through to the end. What is the most basic article of faith? This is not all that we are. See, the difference between you and me is, I know what that means and you don't. I know that I'm more than this body, more than this consciousness. A part of me swims in the stream but in truth, I'm standing o?n the shore the current never takes me downstream.
Starbuck - This is worse than Galactica and I didn't think that was possible. What was that, "swimmin' in streams" or something?
Leoben - You mind? Mm. Thank you. Starving, haven't eaten in days.
Starbuck - Kinda bad programming, isn't it? I mean, why bother with hunger?
Leoben - Part of being human.
Starbuck - You're not human. How's your lunch?
Leoben - You know how it is. When you're starving, anything tastes good. Oh !
Starbuck - Did that hurt?
Leoben - Yeah, it hurt.
Starbuck - Machines shouldn't feel pain. Shouldn't bleed, shouldn't sweat.
Leoben - Sweat, that's funny, that's good.
Starbuck - See, now, a smart Cylon would turn off the ol' pain software about now. But I don't think you're so smart.
Leoben - Maybe I'll turn it off and you won't even know.
Starbuck - Hmm. Here's your dilemma, turn off the pain, you feel better but that makes you a machine, not a person. You see, human beings can't turn off their pain. Human beings have to suffer and cry and scream and endure because they have no choice. So the only way you can avoid the pain you are about to receive is by telling me exactly what I wanna know. Just like a human would.
Leoben - I knew this about you. You're everything I thought you would be. But it won't work, I won't tell you anything.
Starbuck - Maybe not. But then you'll know, deep down, that I beat you. That a human being beat you. And that you are truly no greater than we are. You're just a bunch of machines, after all.
Leoben - Let the games begin.

Starbuck - Sleeping?
Leoben - Praying.
Starbuck - I don't think the gods answer the prayers of toasters.
Leoben - God answers everyone's prayers.
Starbuck - How many Cylons are there in the fleet?
Leoben - We haven't been properly introduced. I'm Leoben.
Starbuck - How many Cylons are there in the fleet?
Leoben - I have no idea. What's your name?
Starbuck - How long have you been hiding aboard this ship?
Leoben - Am I not allowed to know your name?
Starbuck - Why were you hiding aboard this ship?
Leoben - I had a mission to perform. Listen, it's a small thing can you just tell me who you are?
Starbuck - Tell me about your mission and I'll think about it.
Leoben - My mission was to conduct sabotage.
Starbuck - What kind of sabotage?
Leoben - God, you stink. Can we get some air in here? Between you and the humidity...
Starbuck - I am not here to play games with you. You said you wanted to cooperate. Either start talking or we are done.
Leoben - Okay. But... I really wanna know your name.
