Someone we know got a new Loyalty card just recently, jumping out to accuse someone else of spiking? Yeah that's real confidence-building. The only ones we're sure didn't spike it are me and Tory.
Madame Prez, if you XO me I promise to head straight for FTL Control, with my reroll at the ready. Next time there's a Raider activation, we're going to lose a bunch of ships, and, oh look, Cally's turn is right after yours. An early jump risks Pop, but we can't afford to lose that ship with the Fuel on board.
BSG (Tory)
Oh, ha, I kinda forgot about that option. Sounds good. I
stay in the President's Office and XO-1 Admiral Gaeta.
Don't be a Cylon, sir. And please draw green on your turn and XO me if you can.
BSG
Admiral Gaeta, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
BSG (Boomer)
That was definitely one of the options I was looking at.
And it occurs to me that someone could have had another reason for spiking that check than being a cylon.
Why would a human want us to have damaged Vipers?
Someone we know got a new Loyalty card just recently, jumping out to accuse someone else of spiking? Yeah that's real confidence-building.
Fair enough, but why would I spike a check all suspicious-like if I wanted you to help me get out of the brig? Which I hope I can do on my turn.
BSG
Poor sweet naive Boomer. Humans are all potentially conflicted these days. They might do anything.
BSG (Boomer)
Ah, right, good point. In which case maybe you and Gaeta
aren't
clear of Cylonity!
BSG (Tory)
Maybe! But probably not. We should find out soon.
BSG(Felix Saltatius)
I
Move to FTL control
and
execute getting-us-the-hell-out-of-here maneuver.
BSG (6)
Yeah, that's a good call.
I didn't spike it, especially as I've been spending my time doing repairs, it would have been counter-productive to me. I do have an agenda, of course, but I assure you, I am on the human side of things.
There are lots of things the others could be doing, or trying to be doing. But this definitely was a spike, although the numbers do not show proof positive who it was. It could have been two positive cards from Anders and one negative from Boomer, or one positive card each from Anders and Boomer and one negative from Anders.
But yeah, the conflicted interests adds a lot of huh to this game.
BSG
By CO, Tory plays an SP-3 on the die roll.
Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Pass!
Mr Gaeta, do you want to use your reroll?
