Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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

Tory made an interesting point that maybe neither of us is a cylon. I don't know if there might be a Special Destiny out there that made failing that spiked check make sense. Still it's been a rare game where letting Boomer out of the brig turned out to have been a good idea. I don't want to risk it.

You can't escort all those civvies home on your own.

True. We're pretty much frakked whether you're a cylon or not.

Interesting. Those are some useful piloting cards to sacrifice towards keeping Boomer in the Brig, Anders. Not sure what to make of that.

I, on the other and, have some useless cards to throw into the check, so I may as well do that. Sabotage-3, LS-1, LS-1

RIGHT? I was really taken aback. See, here's the thing: I can see doing that if he were 100% convinced I was a Cylon. But, especially given the murky Conflicted Loyalties, I can't see how he could be. If you're kind of conflicted, you can abstain or throw in some lesser cards to voice your disapproval. But those were good cards to have in light of our impending attack. Which leads me to conclude that he is a Cylon and thus knows I'm not and thus wants me in here not helping Team Human.

I appreciate your support, Madame President. Or at least your benefit of the doubt.

Y'know, throwing away cards we KNOW are going to be useful soon doesn't help your case.

I play BL-1, BL-1, ByC-1.

bt, do any Conflicted Loyalties involve Boomer getting out of the Brig?

Yeeeeeah, this will be fun. I hope I made the right decision to minimize the disaster.

Huh? I'm doing the same thing you did when you threw in Sabotage. Or has Treachery suddenly become non-positive?
