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

I have passes from everyone. Anders takes aim:

Die roll: 6. Miss! (Just.) Ouch. An SP would've helped. So would a Calcs, but I have COs from all players to pass on that too.

Hey, here's the problem! Someone's taken the warheads off! Now, where did they put them? Anders' crisis is:

Hidden Explosives
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG

I'll pause for just a moment in case I am missing something obvious but I'm pretty sure that option 2 is the way to go.

Sickbay wouldn't be horrible. But staying at weapons allows for a XO to take two shots on Scar. If I manage to regain your trust.

I'm pretty sure I'm right but I want to make sure P-C has a chance to weigh in and he's busy with comic con. Not envious at all.

Good call, Admiral.

I am still mildly suspicious of Anders for not playing Treachery, but the fact that he was willing to use his OPG to take out Scar does gain him some goodwill. Then again, it could be an act.

I hope my confusion with new Pegasus rules/gameplay is overcome by soon to be announced CO's when the time comes, and will restore y'alls faith in me. I'm not the cylon, and these suspicions (while not unfounded) are making the real cylons happy as hell.

The Admiral chooses option 2; Morale falls by 1. Anders, I hope you won't take it too personally that the fleet seems so saddened by the news that you're ok.

Finally, Scar swoops in to Sector 4, and the jump track advances by 1. That concludes Anders' turn; however, Anders still has 12 cards and must therefore discard 2 cards. He discards:

Trust Instincts 0
God's Plan 2

Gaeta's cards are going out. He has chosen 2 Yellow for his optional draw. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
