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

BSG

I have no idea what's going on. The only way I can help with the check is to make blue positive.

I think maybe you should hold on to your final card, Kat.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

That's...not what I thought would happen with that check. Huh.

Okay, I would like to save my skin and Galactica's, so I play IC3. I actually intended to play it last round, but I didn't remember I'd drawn it until too late. (I also missed the play blue conversation, so I'm sorry I didn't make your card count, Starbuck.) Let's see if we can figure out what's going on.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

Yeah, that check was a shock, I really expected to be an innocent person trapped in the brig.

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

BSG

What...the frak. Kat, I wish you'd played your card now.

Yeah, someone other than me wanted to keep me out of the brig.

And based on my count of Destiny and the colors we all draw, I think it was Tory. So I am now operating under the assumption that you're both Cylons. Or that Tory believes you're human, but I don't know why she would have gone ahead with the brigging.

I have no idea what's going on. The only way I can help with the check is to make blue positive.

Oh, I was wrong about what I thought your card was, then. Still, I now wish you'd played it.

(I also missed the play blue conversation, so I'm sorry I didn't make your card count, Starbuck.)

I'm sorry too.

I pass on interrupts and can't help at all on this check.

Tigh, would you support me if I tried to brig Cally again on my turn? You're the one person who sounds as sure as I am about her metal soul.

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

Newsflash! SCANDAL rocks the fleet as Galactica's ace pilot declares, "Cylons have souls too!" Debate rages as representatives from FOXON accuse Starbuck of sapping Galactica's resolve and offering comfort to the enemy.

I'm just so confused! I wish it weren't so risky to wait until we're more sure.

Meanwhile, I have passes on interrupts from everyone else, and a couple of COs to boot. The check begins:

Destiny: 2 cards
Starbuck: 0 cards
Kat: 0 cards
Cally:
Tigh:
Tory:

Cally is up next. Tory has played an IC, so all cards are played face up (except Destiny's).

Let's get through this crisis, Starbuck. My cards are full of risk and I can't spare the thinking power to worry about what to do on your turn just yet.

I'm really afraid Cally will reveal on her turn, and she could do any number of terrible things to us unless we brig her first.

And I don't even know about Tory now. She seems to have taken Cally's evil plan to heart, making us use up cards on a brigging she was going to spike. I trust you and Tigh, and I just hope I'm right.

Let's get through this crisis, Starbuck. My cards are full of risk and I can't spare the thinking power to worry about what to do on your turn just yet.

Fair enough. I'm trying to decide my optional draw. Green (positive for brigging) or Blue (possible Repair).
