"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollon)

I move to Basestar Bridge where I send 3 raiders to the Cylon Fleet location corresponding to Sector 3 and I cause CAGdad to place a civilian.

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

BSG

CAGmiral Dadama, you must place a new civvie. You may place it in any sector other than Sector 3 or 5. When you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (CAGdama)

I will place it in sector 4

Sector 4 it is. That concludes Apollo's turn. Adama's cards are going out. CAGmiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Adama)

In these critical times I feel I must consult with my crew. Are we pretty sure Baltar is a cylon? Do we want to get Dee out of the brig? Or shall I stay here and activate up to four unmanned vipers?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Dee)

I would love to get out of the pokey! But, I have to say, we need to get those civvies escorted to safety too! I do not know what is in E, but I would say, escorting in Alphabetical order would be a good plan.

Not sure about Baltar. Strong suspicions. But with Admirals Quarters damaged, you can't do much about it, unless you have some Quorum cards that can brig him. At this point, my recomendation is to escort humans to safety, before the pursuit track fills the air with more crap.

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

BSG (Cally)

Four Viper activations would get two civvies home. And those would be C and D, as they are the civvies the 6 Raiders will be after...until we take them away, at which point they will go after A and B. Of course, A and B are the ones we can actually get from immediately launched Vipers anyway, so...those are what we would get.

Are we only suspecting Baltar based on the Delusional Intuition gaffe? Because I am perfectly willing to accept that as the player's mistake. Whereas the Loyalty check put the suspicion on Dee, for me. Yes, he could still be a Cylon and telling the truth about Adama to gain our trust, so it's not a strong case. But I'm just not sure.

Or you could be the Cylon too. Hey, just saying.

I understand the suspicions with sleeper phase, that's why I'm not advocating springing me just yet. I think escorting civvies is our highest priority, especially since Adama is the CAG. We have no pilots. It's our only way of escorting. (Gods, I hope Adama is human!)

BSG (CAG ADAMA DING DONG)

I stay put and Play a CS-5 to Activate Command Twice

I Launch Viper I into Sector 5 with instructions to escort Civilian Ship Australopithecus home.

Then I Launch Viper II into Sector 5 with instruction to escort civilian ship Bonobo home.

Then I lean back in my CagMiral chair and smoke a big stogie.
