I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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

As my turn approaches, I once again need to gauge whether you all trust me enough to spring me from the Brig. There's not much else I can do from in here, I suppose, but play EMs. I don't want to start a Brig check if I don't think it's worth it yet; that's just a waste of cards for everyone.

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

I have orders from the Admiral. They are:

Move: none (getting confirmation on that)
Action: discard the following cards:

Support the People 2
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 5
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Critical Situation 5
Repair 2
Broadcast Location 1

Reveal the following loyalty card:

YOU ARE NOT A CYLON - PERSONAL GOAL (SELFISH)

The Admiral's done Admiralling for the day. You jackals can just manage without him for a while, Gaeta needs some "me" time. He's holed up in the Research Lab, eating Haagen Dazs and watching his stories.

Meanwhile, the Cylons thought that Genocide thing was a real hoot, and have a plan to return the favour. Gaeta's crisis card is:

Cylon Virus
Skill Check (13 PB)

Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

Uh. Uh. What just happened? Gaeta is a human JERK?

I can't help at all on this check, and with all the cards Gaeta just discarded, I can only hope for the best. I don't think I'm getting out of the Brig now.

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

BSG (Anders)

Pass on interrupts.

I can help a little with the check but how bad would it be to intentionally tank?

Well, a Centurion is bad but not the end of the world. Although Cally could just move it every turn unless we destroy it.

A note concerning Gaeta's play of his Personal Goal. As the Fleet has travelled 6 or less distance, I added a new YANAC card to the loyalty deck, shuffled them and dealt Gaeta a replacement loyalty card.

BSG(Tory)

I can help on the check. I'd rather not have a Centurion on board, even if it is a Virus. Ounce of prevention, etc.

Eta: also, yay for not losing Fuel!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Six)

Well, I could have helped a good bit, before I tried to slow down the pursuit a bit!

I haven't been keeping track: is everyone sitting on some Treachery? Would it be helpful if we could use those for good?

Okay, I don't want to hold people up. I pass on interrupts.

Positive Treachery wouldn't help me. I haven't been keeping track, but ISTR a lot of it getting dumped.
