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

The Admiral has chosen: a Barren Planet. Fuel drops by 2, and Distance increases to 4 - triggering the Sleeper Phase! New loyalty cards are going out. Boomer receives two loyalty cards, and since she is a revealed Cylon, immediately passes them to another crew member. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your choice. We'll pause for everyone to digest their new loyalties and for Boomer's decision.

Very sneaky, Boomerbot. President and Admiral, eh? I see what you did there.

Booker, you need to give both cards to one player. Which one do you choose?

I'm not sure whether a metal President or a metal Admiral is worse. What are the odds Boomer got another Cylon card? Normally, the whole "Cylon passing off a Loyalty card" is all smoke and mirrors, but she did get two.

Well, you're just determined to rain on my parade, aren't you? I think slow subversion of the government wins over sending you off into the wild black yonder; I pass them to Tory.

Boomer's extra loyalty cards have been sent to Tory. Hey, remember when those basestars shot at you and you told Pegasus to put itself in the way? Apparently the crew is not at all happy about that. Adama's crisis is:

Standoff with Pegasus
Skill Check (22 YGPR)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Boomer goes first, Adama last.

Hey y'all I got this.

Boomer was shooting blanks and I have four cards in front of me right now saying I am not a cylon and I can prove it in a moment because I got this.

Oh there will be an investigation. You can always count on me for that. I play an IC-3.
