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

BSG

Wait, wait, what is this. Why would she do this? Just for the lulz? Should we be suspicious? Can she do this only once per turn?

She can do this on any skill check in her turn, as many times as there are skill checks on her turn. It's your choice whether you want to be suspicious of her actions; she basically doubled the pass margin from 4 to 8. Because she can.

Tigh plays the Resignation Quorum card. Discards are open, so we can see that Tigh discarded Enact Production Quotas.

A new Quorum Card, along with the Presidency, is on its way to Roslin. In the meantime, was it such a good idea to release Tigh? I mean, he must have done something, right? Cally's crisis card is:

Guilt by Collusion
Skill check (9 GP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Especially if you're early in player order, I encourage this. Starbuck Tigh plays first, Cally last.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Cally)

I guess if you want to be suspicious because I made sure Tigh got out of the brig then be suspicious.

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

BSG (Dee)

Pass on interrupts. I can help on this check, but I'm afraid since we used a lot of Purple on the last check. I don't know of anyone we want to send to the Brig, but I don't want to lose Morale!

I guess if you want to be suspicious because I made sure Tigh got out of the brig then be suspicious.

I was a little confused about the math there, but I think I figured out what happened, and I think I trust you because of it, which confuses me now because I can't figure out if we have a second Cylon or not.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (The once again President Roslin)

I can help a little on this check.

I would love the chance to build up my hand of quorum cards, as we will need all the help we can get once we hit new caprica.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG.

Ah, it's listed as option 2. I was confused as well.

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

BSG (Tigh)

Pass on interrupts.

I can help a lot on this check.
