BSG (Cally)
Thanks for the card and the girl power! That was really exciting with the cards from the Pres and the XO to Boomer. I should really give Ellen a proper thank you. I could help with the repairs.
But that doesn't seem as exciting and as much fun as playing my CS-3 and my OPG to shoot Ellen in the face and reveal as a Cylon!
checks the Cylon Etiquette book - yep. That does seem to be the proper thank you.
BSG (Boomer)
Uh. What. Wait. What. The frak. Oh shit. I TOTALLY SUSPECTED YOU TOO! Because I seriously doubted you had no cards to help on that one check, and then you discarded an SR-3, the highest card anyone discarded.
FRAK.
BSG
Yeah I was having trouble figuring out the balance in trying to fly under the radar but still do damage. Plus I never got to use my OPG the first time playing Cally and I really wanted to make sure I got that in.
BSG (Ellen, not for very much longer)
DAMN YOU, CALLY! And after I braided your hair and shared my whiskey. SHARED MY WHISKEY, DO YOU HEAR ME? My beautiful face, all kerblooeyed.
[OoC: That is a totally hilarious reveal, askye, well played]
BSG (Call me 2 Face)
It was a beautiful braid too. Oh yeah, I STOLE YOUR WHISKEY! Because I'm treacherous like that.
BSG (Boomer)
So, just for the record, the other person I mildly suspect, and I don't even remember why now, is Gaeta, who will become Pradmiral if you don't choose someone higher in succession, so take that into consideration.
BSG (Ellen AKA No Face)
Such unimaginable treachery! Are you trying to make me be driven by vengeance and come back as Helena Cain? Is that your game?
Confidential message from the beyond to Boomer - I am studying both the character details file and the lines of succession carefully.
Wow. Is that a new record for earliest Cylon reveal? Totally didn't see that coming.
BSG
Hooookay, there's a lot to take care of here. Cally plays a CS-3, which lets her take an action in her Movement phase. That action is to shoot Ellen in the face! Ellen discards all her cards:
Red Tape 0
Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Investigative Committee 4
Executive Order 1
At Any Cost 3
God's Plan 2
Human Weakness 3
Wouldn't it be ironic if Ellen were a Cylon? Ellen reveals her loyalty card:
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON - FINAL FIVE
Yes, Ellen was a member of the Final Five. If her card had been examined by any player, it would have caused damage to Galactica. But if it is revealed through execution, all players must discard two cards.
Everyone (except Six, who is immune, and Cally, who is discarding down to three cards anyway, so I'll just lump all her discards together; and of course Ellen, who has no cards left anyway), please post your choice of discard.
-t, you will also need to choose a replacement character. Ellen's death left the post of President vacant; if you choose anyone above Gaeta in the Presidential order of succession (i.e. another politician or Apollo), you will retain the Presidency. Otherwise, Gaeta becomes Pradmiral.
Once we've sorted this out, we'll move on to Cally's reveal.

I think it may be in this forum. I played a game on boardgamegeek where I chose Kat. On the very first turn, Cally got an XO to repair some Mk VII vipers. Instead she SHOT ME IN THE FACE and revealed. Turn 1. (I chose Apollo for my replacement. At the Sleeper Phase, Cally passed off her new loyalty card to me, and made me a Cylon. That was an odd game.)
