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.

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

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.

I'll discard this SP-3.

And there I thought that the Cylons had a Plan. On the other hand, Boomer may have some of your Fuel, and she's not in a hurry to give it back. Baltar's crisis is:

Scouting for Fuel
Current Player's Choice

President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your choice.

While I think of it too, Baltar has chosen to draw Purple for his Delusional Intuition.

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

BSG

urgh I pass on interrupts and I can't help at all with the check or the die roll.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

So would an IC or a SR be better for an interrupt on this check? Is there blue out there that could help us?

If I play my two cards into this check I can help a lot.

Just to be clear, either or both interrupts may be played. There's a limit of one Reckless interrupt on a check, but you could have a check with an IC, an SR and one Reckless interrupt.

I HATE YOU.

I can make this check Reckless to help, but Boomer is sure to do something bad to us as a result. Given that Destiny is almost sure to be negative on this check, however, it may behoove us to shoot for an 8 instead of a 12. I just drew Purple, and I can help. An IC wouldn't actually help me, however, since I would just play that card.

Anders, can you help at all? I want to try the check to regain some Fuel. We have several jumps ahead of us, and I'm tired of using up cards for NO EFFECT. At least this time we can get something out of it.
