If we have two, you're the other one!

Unless it's you!

Although, I have to say, it does look most likely that it's Cally, unless Destiny could have played. I haven't looked that closely at the deck, so it might be worth a few minutes of math here.

It is convenient that the person proclaiming my guilt the loudest is also someone who was in a position to spike the check.

So though I am aligning with you all against Cally, at the same time a little tin birdie is chirping about what a clever cylon P-C has been.

It's actually interesting and refreshing to be on this side for once. It's kind of exciting to find the Cylon!

If we have two, you're the other one!

Unless it's you!

Yes, this is a brilliant plan to get my Cylon partner Brigged! That'll go over REALLY well on the Resurrection Ship.

Although, I have to say, it does look most likely that it's Cally, unless Destiny could have played. I haven't looked that closely at the deck, so it might be worth a few minutes of math here.

Please, for the good of humanity, spare a few minutes. It wasn't Destiny. The only time Blue appeared in a check we didn't tank, Kat and Cally didn't play and I don't think I even had Blue at the time.

It is convenient that the person proclaiming my guilt the loudest is also someone who was in a position to spike the check.

I'm only being loud because I keep good records and am confident in my deduction. Also, I already said what my Blue card was before, when I offered to boost the power of the Scientific Research that you didn't want to use.

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

BSG

I can't math. I often feel like you guys are playing this ame on a whole other level than me but I feel that way about poker and still manage to win so I really appreciate if someone else can work out the chances that destiny actually spiked this check.

Because why would a cylon spike a brigging check? You're very likely to get yourselkf brigged that way.

A failed check would have Brigged Tigh.

Zero. Remember that check we tanked that made us discard a random skill card and we all lost Treachery except for Cally? Destiny played Blue. Remember that check that had a Raider activation that took out two civvies? One Blue card was in that check (and it was POSITIVE for the check), and Cally didn't play anything. I honestly don't remember whether I had Blue in my hand at the time, but I didn't play it. It was Destiny.

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

BSG

I was the only one in danger of being brigged if we had failed this check, fwtw.

Destiny definitely could not have played both Blues, as a Blue card showed up in the Tanked check earlier, and I am confident that Destiny had no Blue to play though I could not, at this point, prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt without doing a lot more work than I am prepared to do.

In short, I am for brigging Cally now, and if it is a horrible mistake we'll probably find out pretty quickly.

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

As a cylon it is such a delicate balancing act to mess with the humans without arousing suspicions. I don't think I've seen anyone but P-C pull it off well.

I should probably feel slighted here. Yep. Definitely slighted.

I'm glad you agree, since you can make brigging Cally easier and I don't have any positive cards for an Admiral's Quarters check.

Are we sure about this, guys? It's a big step.

Okay, I discard a CP1 to get my Presidential ass back to Galactica to see what you are all up to down here. I move to Admiral's Quarters and I activate them to brig Cally.

I hope this is right.
