Ann, that's a ferret.

I think they're all Cylons.

/unhelpful kibbitzing.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo the shortlived, may I RIP)

Hahaha, yes I'm totally down. It may not be wise gameplay, but it's awesome. Hilarity is ALWAYS the best reason for mindless violence.

I am human, though, just so you know.

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

BSG (Tory the Executioner)

I choose Option 1 and choose to execute Apollo.

Apollo, we hardly knew ye. Thanks for taking out those raiders, but we've decided we're all allergic to testosterone, and by presidential decree, this mission is chicks only.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Helena)

I'm always in favor of a good execution.

BSG (Tory the Executioner)

YOU WOULD BE. Bet you'd like to execute entire civilian ships by leaving them behind, too.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

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

BSG (Cally-gula)

Off with his head!

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

BSG

Lee "Apollo" Adama, for the capital crime of the look on your face when we do it being just hilarious. and anyway we have to test this Airlock on someone, right? - You have been sentenced to a Very Special Episode in Sweeps Week.

As the corpse of Apollo is fired at high velocity towards the basestar, his personal effects are revealed to contain the following:

Investigative Committee 3
Consolidate Power 1
Trust Instincts 0
Maximum Firepower 3

One "YOU ARE NOT A CYLON" loyalty card.

As that last piece of news spreads throughout the fleet, the people slowly realise that there are not many copies, and they will never get to execute Apollo ever again. How cheaply we value these pleasures before they're gone. Morale falls by 1.

The military mind remains steadfastly forward-looking, however, and the position of CAG is filled by Lieutenant Kara "Starbuck" Thrace. Starbuck, please accept this welcoming gift of a new Loyalty card. Per the Exodus rules, I have shuffled an extra "YOU ARE NOT A CYLON" card into the deck before dealing.

Finally, two more raiders launch from the basestar, and the jump track advances. That concludes Apolbuck's turn. Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
