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

Check difficulty is reduced to 4 GP.

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

BSG

I can't help with the check but I will not fight it.

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

BSG

Otherwise, pass on interrupts.

We have a little time before Cally's next turn, maybe we'll be able to brig her without activating the Admiral's quarters.

And maybe she'll be able to spike a check that we actually fail. I really hate that our best source of Repair cards turned out to be a Cylon. Hell, she may be holding some, for all I know.

I do see your point about waiting, but it's risky when we don't know what the Crises will bring us.

I pass on interrupts and can't help with the check.

Well, and Kat, you could play that SR now if you wanted to help. Otherwise it'll be just Tigh and me to finish the check.

So there isn't a single person that will help me out on this? That's cold. It's also very convenient again that the person doing all the accusing can't help with the check. I feel pretty strongly that there are two toasters in our midst.

I could make your other Blue card count double, too, if that would help, though it could be overkill. Also, it would keep Cally from being able to use any Blue to save herself.

By my count, there's a 50% chance Destiny will be positive for the check. We do have a very low threshold to pass, but we have to fight against whatever Cally has in her hand. If we use SR, all she can play negatively is Yellow.

It's also very convenient again that the person doing all the accusing can't help with the check.

How is that convenient? I WANT you in the Brig. I would love to help put you there. This is inconvenient. And Tigh is doing some of the accusing as well, don't forget.

I feel pretty strongly that there are two toasters in our midst.

And I feel pretty strongly that there is zero chance you are not a Cylon, based on the cards.

That's a good point. I'm changing my mind and playing an SR-3.

If you are a Cylon and are trying to get us to burn through as many cards as possible on this check to leave us weak for whatever is about to come.

Ooh, that IS clever. I'll have to remember that for when I'm a Cylon. GOOD CYLON THINKING, CYLON.
