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]
Kaylee: H-how did you... g-get on...? Early: Strains the mind a bit, don't it? You think you're all alone. Maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee. Bring presents to the good girls and boys.

BSG (Call me 2 Face)
It was a beautiful braid too. Oh yeah, I STOLE YOUR WHISKEY! Because I'm treacherous like that.

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

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.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Wow. Is that a new record for earliest Cylon reveal? Totally didn't see that coming.

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

All right, I'll go with my first instinct and come back as Tory Foster.
Eta: That time when we executed Apollo in the very first turn and he came back as a cylon Starbuck, she revealed pretty fast...

Well, damn, Ellen. I discard BYC-1 and EN-0.
All right, I'll go with my first instinct and come back as Tory Foster.
But she's one of the Final Five TOO.

That's pretty rich coming from you, BOOMER.
