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.)
BSG
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...
BSG (Boomer)
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.
BSG
But she's one of the Final Five TOO.
That's pretty rich coming from you, BOOMER.
BSG (The Tory formerly known as Ellen)
We'll see, Sleeper. Maybe we should avoid killing me or checking my loyalty, just in case?
Wow! That was...very exciting. Hello Cylon!
BSG (Anders)
Well now. I discard
PF-0 and LS-2
