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

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, 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

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?

Oh, Hell. It's a Reckless check. bt, is it too late to change my play to No Cards?

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

No, although there is one that involves being in the Brig.

Oh, Hell. It's a Reckless check. bt, is it too late to change my play to No Cards?

It is indeed Reckless. They wouldn't be positive if it weren't Reckless. ...I am generally loath to void bolded orders, however, I'll allow it on this occasion, because it's not actually your turn to play cards yet. Cally plays before you.

Brig (Boomer): 7 YP

Destiny: 2 cards
Six: Consolidate Power 1, God's Plan 2
Anders: Run Interference 3, Maximum Firepower 3
Tory: Launch Scout 1, Launch Scout 1, Sabotage 3
Cally: By Your Command 1
Gaeta: (max 3 cards)
Boomer: (max 1 card)

Running tally: 9 - 6 = 3 + Destiny. Gaeta is next.

Might as well play the ByC now, at least, since it's already active.

Man, this is going to be a nailbiter.
