We have a lot of priorities right now. We have one crewbie in sickbay, one in the brig (by card, not by suspicions) and 4 locations to be fixed! It would seem to make more sense to get Cally out of sickbay by XO, assuming she can repair something (and hoping she is still human). I would also love some help getting out of here, so I can do some repairs.
Also, CAGmiral (with an extra loyalty card, please still be human), we need to escort those civvies to safety before the cylons jump back in. So, I think COMMAND is a first choice for repair. Let's not forget folks, we have NO pilots! CAG is our only way to get birds in the air to protect our fleet!
(May the gods be with us. Amazed we are still alive)

Baltar won't XO me out of Sickbay because of turn order, so that's not an option. I agree that we really need Command so we can escort civvies home.

Still human afaik. Waiting for that bonus card from my aluminum son.

To let you guys know - I sent our wonderful GM some questions and waiting to hear back before I make my move.
I'm not sure how much I can reveal about my cards due to secrecy rules so I'll keep mum.

Apollo's loyalty card has been sent to Adama, and answers sent to the good Doctor.

About your loyalty cards, you can basically say nothing. (Well, you can lay claim to humanity. Or Cylonity, come to think of it. But beyond that, nothing.) About your skill cards, you can say whether or not you can do stuff, when said stuff is relevant. You can't use this just to list off your cards, you can't ever give points values, you can't say anything about the cards you play into a skill check beyond "high" or "low". (Or sometimes "medium".) Well, you can also say how many cards you play. In fact you're obliged to.
Examples:
"I have an XO. [Ok.] Can anyone scout?"
"I can scout. [Ok.] I'd rather not risk the raptor unless someone can help out with the die roll. Anyone have an SP?"
"No, sorry. [Ok]"
"No, but I can still help you out with that. [Holding a Calcs, and ok.]"
"ZOMG YOU GUYS I JUST DREW THREE SIX-POINT SKILL CARDS, THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME HAND EVER!" [Not ok, kind of gloaty, and did you really just say ZOMG?]
BSG
ZOMG THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH SAYING ZOMG.

All those suggestions are nice, but alas, not in the cards (so to speak). However, I do have this handy dandy Cylon Detector. And since there was a sleeper phase and extra loyalty cards being passed around by an untrustworthy Cylon I'm going to put it to use.
I
check the loyalty cards of Adama.
BSG (Leoben)
Ooh, exciting! Glad I have popcorn.
BSG (Cally)
Oh, man, if he's Final Five this could be a disaster. Or if this leads to a Cylon accusation: hilarity!
BSG (Dee)
Well. That's an...interesting...choice.
