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

Pass on interrupts

I hope only a little help from me will be enough.

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

BSG

I have passes on interrupts from all players, and COs from several.

Brig: 7 YP

Destiny: 2 cards
Cain: 2 cards
Starbuck: 1 card
Cally: 1 card
Tory:
Dee:

Tory is up next.

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

BSG (Tory)

My goodness, look at everyone with COs this time! I play 1 card.

COs from Dee to play 2 cards. Let's see what happens:

Trust Instincts 0
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Strategic Planning 4
Scout for Fuel 6
Declare Emergency 3
Evasive Maneouvre 1
Broadcast Location 1

Tally: 13 - 5 = 8. Pass! However, there is a Trust Instincts-0 in the check. Destiny adds two more cards:

Calculations 4
Calculations 5

Ohhh, that's not good. New tally: 13 - 14 = -1. Fail! Starbuck remains locked up!

Starbuck, you have one action remaining. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Well that looks like it was spiked. I say we start airlocking people.

BSG (Tory)

Well that looks like it was spiked.

Frak. Well, no one has Treachery, so it has to be the DE or EM. And it's not the EM because no one has Piloting. So it's the DE. And I think we all draw Green, so that's not very helpful. Wait, the only person who is clear is Starbuck, because she only had two cards, and she played her Green card in the last check. Starbuck did not spike it. Also, Dee did not spike it because she has all Purple. That leaves you, me, and Cally. And since it's not me, it's either you or Cally. And I wouldn't think a Cylon would play Major Victory because no one would know she WASN'T doing it, so that leaves...you. Oh, this isn't working out so well with the logic.

Godsdamn those instincts. Could have gone either way; we got positive Destiny on the last check, after all.

Starbuck, if you want to try again, I can help a little, but we may have to wait for a bit to fill up our cards at this point. And you can't do anything else. So...godsdamn those instincts.

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

BSG (Cally)

Yeah I tossed in my big guns on that one. You're gonna have to cool your heels a bit longer, I'm afraid.

In a way it's relief to know we have for sure at least one cylon.

BSG

Well, crap. I hate to say so, but it was that Trust Instincts that really screwed us and anyone could have played that.

BSG (Foster the People)

Trust Instincts is a neutral card. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. In this case, it didn't, BUT it saved us from getting that -9 on a check with actual fail consequences. As we learned last game, sometimes people play TI with the best of intentions, and it doesn't work out.

The real spike is the DE-3. Only Cally, Cain, or I could have played it. I did not, and I have my guess as to what Cally played based on her comment. Which, again, leaves Cain, who played 2 cards, one of which could have been positive to mask a spike. Still could be Cally, but I'm leaning more toward Cain at this point.

BSG (Helena)

Well I can say with certainty that it is not me. Feel free to airlock me if you think otherwise. Given that, it means that it's either you or Cally.
