Centurion, bring me a vat of popcorn. This is getting interesting.
BY YOUR COMMAND. SHALL YOU BE WATCHING FROM THE COMFY CHAIR?
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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

Nobody expects the Comfy Chair!
Which is to say, yes.

So you suspect Cain and me. (I'll try not to hold the latter against you. I understand why you suspect me, and I'll be reasonable about it.) If Cain's the Cylon, then passing the skill check to let her check a random Loyalty card would be...inadvisable. If she's not, you will probably ask her to check me, and since I have five cards, you won't actually believe her when she pronounces me human. You probably won't believe me if I use my Cylon Detector on her (or anyone) and pronounce them a Cylon. Which is really annoying, thanks a frakking lot, Boomer.
I'm not discounting the possibility that it's one of you, though. There was an LS-1 in there, and a net negative value of 2 isn't bad either. The intent may have been not just to spike the check but to get us squabbling like this. Now I'm confused.
The other option is, if you suspect Cain, to tank the check and brig her, but that would transfer the Admiralty and it would be bad if we were wrong about her.

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

I know I'm not a cylon but I can't think of how to prove it. I don't want to go to the brig and I'm trying to decide if Option 2 is worth it.

As always, if you have any game-mechanical questions or such like, just let me know.

I'm going to be selfish and choose option 2.

I don't blame you. I hear the Brig isn't terribly well maintained. And the service is atrocious!
So...should I use my Cylon Detector on Cain? If the Admiral's a toaster, I want to know.

I think an XO to Cally would be great. The problem with your OPG, Baltar, is that your own loyalty is too suspect.

The Admiral has chosen the discard option. Anyone who hasn't yet done so, please post or send me your discards. (All discards are face up, so you can just post them.)
