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

Okay, whoa, we need to at least partial pass this! I can only help a little, unfortunately. But, hey, Roslin should be able to help on this one, heh.

Pass on interrupts.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Do we? We don't lose Morale if she's executed, right? I mean, she's been a helping friendly Cylon so losing all her cards would be a drag, but the other effects don't seem so bad.

Not that I can help with the check, so it's all academic to me.

Mostly it's the cards, as well as the fact that she'll no longer be infiltrating, which means she'll have to use up another action to get back to helping us, an action that could be used to prep ships instead.

At this point my guess is that her Cylon agenda is to get a resource below a certain point, and we've pretty much fulfilled that, so I don't think we have to worry about her doing dastardly metal things. But she's got a lot of cards, and she can help on these final crucial checks.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Roslin)

In this configuration wasn't the deck that prepared for the Cylon leader a hostile deck? This means it's more likely that one of her goals is Cylons win, rather than Humans win.

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

BSG (Baltar)

But the way she's been playing, I'd say she is leaning towards human sympathizer.

Yeah, there's no real reason for her to have been helping us THIS MUCH if she really wants a Cylon win. It's not like she gets some sort of Reveal power or a Super Crisis if we don't kill her. She's a Cylon; she could have been spiking checks all this time and the worst we could do is, what, send her back to the Resurrection Ship? My guess is it has to be resource-based, and she figured (correctly) that the game would take care of that for her, and she'd only need to act as a last resort.

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

BSG

It's not like she gets some sort of Reveal power or a Super Crisis if we don't kill her.

A Cylon leader does not have a reveal power; however, if she were to use an action to reveal (stop infiltrating), she would pick up a super crisis. (She wouldn't be able to play the super crisis until Galactica returns and she can once again reach Caprica.)
