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

Dammit. I SAID TO XO ANDERS. SPECIFICALLY.

As a side note, I can't remember the last game where I didn't end up a cylon.

This is one reason I basically always suspect you of being a Cylon. And, look, I was right.

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

Game 7, you stayed human in your first outing as Cally. But you are currently batting 4 out of 6, it's really quite impressive.

President Zarek, you XO'd a Cylon! The Admiral is not in a forgiving mood. Or is he? Zarek's crisis is:

A Verdict of Guilty
Admiral's Choice

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

Hold up a moment, my apologies. Helo, before you post your choice, Gaeta needs to discard down to 3 cards. Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your choice of discards.

Well, damn. Honestly, given the fact that I specifically suggested Zarek XO'd Anders and he XO'd Gaeta instead, I kind of suspect Zarek a little more, but I'm not sure I'd bet his life on it. On the other hand, we can afford the Morale hit, and maybe Zarek could come back as someone more useful? He hasn't had much cause to use his abilities. Oh, hey, it looks like I would become President, so at least I'd be confident that the Presidency and Admiralty were both in human hands, although it would make me less useful as a pilot. But I was really thinking the other Cylon was either Anders or Chief, more likely Chief, so I don't know.

Taking the damage hits could be really, really bad if the basestar also hits. Especially if Chief's a Cylon.

You guys...shit just got real.

Note: If Zarek turns out to have been human, then the order of succession is dealt with after he chooses a new character. If he chooses someone higher than you on the list (basically, any other politician), then he would retain the Presidency.

Ah, okay. Maybe we should turn him into Roslin so he can have Religious Visions to help us through these dark times.

This is a really tough decision, Helo. I don't envy you.

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

BSG

But we would be sure, at that point, that whoever Zarek became was human. Or would we? And if he isn't, we'd definitely know that.

I don't have any Repair right now, so it'd be a little while before I could jump on fixing damage, fwtw.
