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

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.

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.)

BSG (Roslin)

But, hey, Roslin should be able to help on this one, heh.

Yes, as a matter of fact I can help on this one, and am intending to.

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar: 0 cards
Dee: 1 card
Roslin: 3 cards

Six plays two cards towards the "I WANT TO LIVE!!" fund. Cards played:

Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Investigative Committee 3
Major Victory 1
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Declare Emergency 3
Strategic Planning 3
Sabotage 3

Tally: 16 - 6 = 10. Pass! Six remains unexecuted, despite assurances from Baltar that "all the cool Cylons are doing it".

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Six' turn. BALTRON has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Treachery. Cards are going out now.
