Cally, if you could repair something now, that would be swell.
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

I'm tired of Starbuck trying to run the whole show. I'm pretty certain that she's one of our Cylons, and that Tory is the other one. I'm taking this into my own hands.
I move to the hangar deck and execute Starbuck using my OPG.
If I'm wrong, may the Gods help us.

Whoa!
Uhh, well thank goodness it's only a once per game, I guess, if you think I'm the other one!

WHAT THE FRAKKING FRAK THIS IS WHY I WANTED TO BE IN A VIPER.
I AM HUMAN. FRAKKING HUMAN.
I DISCARD EM-2, EM-2, and RI-3.
DESTROY CALLY, TEAM HUMAN. DESTROY HER. I WILL BE BACK WITH A NEW FACE SOON.

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

Starbuck reveals her loyalty card, which states:
You Are Not a Cylon
The fleet loses 1 Morale. Apparently they liked Starbuck more than Cally. Who knew? But not enough to, you know, arrest Cally for murder or anything like that. Let's not go overboard here. P-C, Starbuck has been shot, quite possibly in the face (THE FACE!). You may choose any character not previously selected to replace her. You have not yet used your OPG, so your new character's OPG will be available to you. Per the Exodus loyalty rules, once you have made your choice, you will be dealt a new loyalty card.
When you're ready, please post your choice.

I will be returning as "Chief" Galen Tyrol. Looks like there's a lot of repairing to be done.

Huh. Smells like cabbages in here.

(And can I just say, as a player, I AM SO ANGRY AND TRAUMATIZED BY THIS TURN OF EVENTS. [Er, not flounce-away angry, though. Just the natural anger at being SHOT IN THE FACE.] I was not expecting to feel so emotional about fake-dying. What a game.)

(Dude, I totally don't blame you. You got SHOT IN THE FACE! I think it testifies to what a compelling game this is, though, because of how caught up we all get. You have my player condolences for your fake-death!)

(It's not like there's an excessive amount of role-playing in this game. It's not part of the actual gameplay. But since we're playing characters we know, we naturally have a little bit of connection to them, and it makes the game more interesting and fun to treat the game as if the characters are the actual crew facing these challenges. I think of everyone as and refer to everyone by their characters, not their players.
And because this online game takes a lot longer than a real-life game, there's a much stronger connection. I've been Starbuck for WEEKS. I have been focused on Starbuck's card draw, Starbuck's abilities and weakness. And now I'M NOT STARBUCK ANYMORE AND I HAVE TO BE CHIEF. I AM GOING TO HAVE AN IDENTITY CRISIS.
Plus, you know, it was sudden. It's always sudden.)
