"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! Okay, I probably should have mentioned my suspicions to someone other than the gamemaster, and now that I think about it I sure shouldn't have wasted all those pretty red cards on a failed attempt to keep her healthy.

Curse you, Boomer and your sudden but inevitable betrayal! "This scouting stuff is *hard*" indeed, huh? Ms. attacky with all your attacking. Harumph.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

It was hard! Trying to pick a crisis that would be bad but not so bad that you would all immediately know I was working against you is really difficult.

Mine remains an evil laugh.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

Ouch! Well played, you treacherous toaster, you.

edit: I literally just jumped out of my chair and paced around crying, "NO! no no no no no no!" for a good minute.

Ouch. This is gonna hurt.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

Such Treachery! With, apparently, the promise of more Treachery to come. I had no idea, did you? The cost in unnamed extras is truly staggering!

I'm in transit right now, so I'll finish all the wetworks later. In the meantime, I can tell you that Boomer's reveal power sets the jump track back two spaces. This takes you back to the start. Once Boomer receives her Treachery, she will also need to discard a card. On the plus side, Baltar still gets a Crisis. Revealing on an XO is just so gosh-darn efficient!

Oh, and the final item: I'm sorry, Mr President, but you made the promise and now you have to eat a baby. You wouldn't go back on your word, would you? The chefs will be along shortly to discuss your options, you don't need to eat it raw and wriggling, after all. I mean, we're not savages!

BSG

Seriously. We are in for it.

I have to laugh at how you edited to add your evil laugh. What good is it to reveal as a Cylon if you can't laugh your evil laugh?

The Evil Laugh is an important part of Cylon Undercover Training. There are many copies, but only one evil laugh.

That was my official reveal. I can only assume that one of those unnamed extras got off a lucky shot and I will be waking up on the Resurrection Ship.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

GODSDAMMIT MOTHERFRAKKIT.

Okay, I probably should have mentioned my suspicions to someone other than the gamemaster.

I suspected her when she jumped to Press Room to draw Politics for no apparent reason, but her other actions seemed to be on the up-and-up, so I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. NO MORE BENEFITS.

I apologize profusely for my poor judgment in this matter, constituents. I truly thought I was acting in our best interests. But let us now rally against our common, revealed enemy: the nefarious Cylon Boomer. The wolf has cast off her sheep's clothing, and she can no longer reap the benefits of our human compassion, kindness, and misplaced trust.

continues to hang head in eternal shame

I'm sorry, Mr President, but you made the promise and now you have to eat a baby. You wouldn't go back on your word, would you? The chefs will be along shortly to discuss your options, you don't need to eat it raw and wriggling, after all. I mean, we're not savages!

I WANT THAT BABY CHARRED TO A FRAKKING CRISP.

I don't know whether that makes it more or less disturbing. Wait, yes I do. More disturbing.

Boomer's Treachery draw has gone out. Once she posts her discard, we'll move on to Baltar's Crisis Card. he has also left COs for his Delusional Intuition.
