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

Fair enough. I'm trying to decide my optional draw. Green (positive for brigging) or Blue (possible Repair).
My cards are full of risk
It's true. He holds Greenland, Ukraine and Kamchatka.
BSG
I can't help on this one. I play no cards.
BSG
Tigh is up next. So far no one has played into the check.
BSG
If only I'd gotten Australia. Then we'd be in business.
Look, guys, I can play something that may help or may hurt, or I can help a little bit with a card that might be more useful in another context, or I can sit this one out. I don't know what to do.

{Is that okay secrecy-wise? I'll edit if not}
I think it's fine. Hell, I know what your cards are, and I'm still not 100% sure what you mean.
BSG
I don't know, Tigh. I went through the past checks, and signs are definitely pointing to Tory as the other person who spiked the brigging. If she's a human who simply believes Cally to be innocent, then she shouldn't have initiated the brigging and spiked the check. That's not what a human would do. That wastes our cards. It would be different if it were a Crisis Card that had a brigging consequence and she chose to spike it to save someone she believed to be innocent.
This is to say that I actually would LIKE Tory to lose all her cards, but I don't want to take the damage hit.
Which is to say, do the one that may help or may hurt because it sounds fun and whatevs, I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.

Personally I think Starbuck is one of two Cylons, with Tory being the other one. Starbuck has been leading us on this merry chase of accusations and is now pushing for another brig check which will burn even more of our valuable cards. Right now we should be working on getting repairs done while we are not surrounded by raiders and instead we are running in circles burning all of our cards.
