I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Poor sweet naive Boomer. Humans are all potentially conflicted these days. They might do anything.

Ah, right, good point. In which case maybe you and Gaeta aren't clear of Cylonity!

Maybe! But probably not. We should find out soon.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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.

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?
