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

Baltar left orders for his turn: Move to Breeders Canyon and activate it. Clearly he's up to no good out there. There's a good chance something is about to go boom. Baltar's crisis is:

Attack on the Power Plant
President's Choice

President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Dee-stressed)

Um um um please don't choose Option 1! Or wait, will I get to draw cards before or after I kill myself? Because I don't mind losing the rest of my hand, and maybe a new character would be useful? But it would bring Morale dangerously low.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Roslin)

I'm going to take the gamble and choose option 1 , choose your new character carefully. I hope that the extra cards outweighs the dangerously low morale.

Morale drops to 2. While Dee is overheard begging Cally to "just do it already!", each human player draws two skill cards. They have to be colours from your normal skill set. So far I only have orders from Cally and Roslin, who both draw 1Y/1G. Everyone else (except Baltar), either post or send me your choice. Dee, you may if you wish pull two cards too. You're about to discard your whole hand, so all it'll do is move the deck closer to a reshuffle.

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

BSG (Dancing Doctor)

It's like a 2 for 1 special. Drop morale, and that crazy wanna-be Admiral offs herself. Clearly she was NOT a Cylon. She just doesn't have the right medal. Ha. I made a joke there. Aw, I crack myself up.

Oh wait, I shouldn't be this happy, I mean morale has dropped... Oh wait, I'm not human. Ha! This is great!

We just need Tigh's draw now.

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

BSG (Tigh)

I'll take 1P 1G , please.

Cards have gone out. Alas, Dee really had her heart set on attacking the power plant. The news that it's not going ahead sees her give in to despair. The Admiral sends a powerful message to the entire fleet by offing herself. She discards:

Trust Instincts 0
Trust Instincts 0
Repair 2
Calculations 3

She also reveals four loyalty cards, which state:

YOU ARE NOT A CYLON
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON

The Admiralty returns to Tigh as ace pilot Louanna "Kat" Katrainne emerges from Dee's shadow. Finally, the jump track advances; and look at that, it's Kat's turn right now! Har cards are going out. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
