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

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.

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

BSG

I'm hoping I have some time to think before Gaeta posts his discards. I'm going to take a shower.

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

I don't remember what rules we chose for that.

And if he isn't, we'd definitely know that.

Yep.

Well, that's not good.

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

Per the Exodus loyalty rules, there is one undealt loyalty card. Should a player be executed and choose a new character, I add another "You Are Not A Cylon" card to the remaining deck, shuffle it, and deal the new character a new loyalty card. It is possible for the new character to receive a Cylon loyalty card in this way. (It's happened to me in each of the two Exodus games I've played. In both cases after the fleet had reached Distance 8.)

The vote was 2-1 in favour of the Exodus loyalty rules, with 3 abstentions.

So it is, in fact, possible that Gaeta is our only Cylon right now.

Frak. Now I'm not sure how to proceed.

I'm going with my gut Execute the traitorous President!

I discard XO-1, LS-1 and Em-1

and cross my frakking fingers.

Also I am being whisked away somewhere mysterious I'm not sure how soon or how long. If I am incommunicado that's why.
