Hm. I don't think Destiny had any blue.

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

Tally: 21 - 9 = 12. Pass!

Whoa, right on the nose. I'm glad I didn't save my card, but...what the hell, I could swear we'd seen both Blue cards out of Destiny. And I know we've seen at least one Blue card come out of Destiny, because it was the check we tanked and Destiny was super negative and we wouldn't have passed it if we'd tried. And in another check, we saw Blue, and Cally didn't play, so it had to be from Destiny.

And right now, the only people who have Blue are Kat, Cally, and me. Kat didn't play into the check. The only conclusion I can come to is that Cally spiked the shit out of this check and she's a Cylon.

Hm. I don't think Destiny had any blue.

RIGHT THERE WITH YOU TIGH.

Tory did draw a Blue one of the times she played a Quorum card. But just the one, I think.

I am also squinting around my eyepatch at Cally in a suspicious fashion.

Did she? I didn't notice that, but she couldn't have played both. Unless they're both Cylons and each put one in. I am positive Destiny had no Blue at all. Both of them came from us.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

Yes I draw blue, but I'm not the one who spiked this. I played three cards into this to save our asses.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Whew, at least we passed!

Well, this is all very interesting! Kat is clear because although she draws the color in question, she didn't play, and Tigh is clear because he doesn't draw blue, not that he'd spike his own brigging, but still. Starbuck could have played one, and yup, I could have played one.

Suspicions! This is my favorite part. And yup, I agree that we definitely have one Cylon and possibly two! Game is amping up.

I haven't seen my draw yet, but what do you guys think I should do for my turn? We're still not under direct threat (from without, anyway).

If you are referring to the check as "spiked," you are agreeing with the presupposition that Destiny did not play Blue. You are the only person who could have played two Blue cards into the check. Kat abstained, and Tory and I only had one.

And yup, I agree that we definitely have one Cylon and possibly two!

Don't sound so excited! If we have two, you're the other one!

Personally, I'd feel safer with Cally in the Brig. Barring that, XO Kat to find more Repair cards? Lacking an XO, Quorum our Resources up?

I am on a plane right now and so can't go back and dig through messages but I thought destiny could have contributed at least one blue. It's that or we have multiple toasters in our ranks.

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

BSG

Whoo what a nice way to find out there are cylons among us. The check was spiked but we passed anyway!

You advised Kat not to play a Scientific Research interrupt on a check that was spiked with Blue, Cally. That doesn't look good.
