Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

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

BSG (Apollo)

I am pretty much all out of help for a while.

It's all right; I can help a good bit in this check. I play one card.

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

Technically we were still on interrupts, but what the hell. Everyone passes on further interrupts.

Destiny: 2 cards
Roslin: 1 card

Cally is last to play. (Look at all those COs!)

Here we go. Cards played:

Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Declare Emergency 4
At Any Cost 5
Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Establish Network 0
By Your Command 1

Tally: 14 - 3 = 11. Partial Pass. But Cally enacts her Quick Fix to remove the EM-2. Tally = 13. Pass! Cally's loyalty card is going to Pradmiral Adama.

Finally, the basestar launches a heavy raider, and the jump track advances. That concludes Cally's turn. Roslin's cards are going out. Ms Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Okay, first I want to deconstruct that turn a little bit. There were two negative cards, which I generally assume came from Destiny, but it was a closed check, so it would have been possible to come from a player. But it didn't in this round for sure, right, because one was treachery which no one has drawn, and one was red, which only Apollo draws, but he didn't play this round. Is that all correct?

So Destiny must have played both negatives, and any Cylon(s) we have must be playing clean at the moment.

I will also be very interested in hearing what the Pradmiral has to say about Cally's loyalty card.

Okay, so for my turn! Well, I had some interesting things to do until SOMEONE took my presidency from me. I am finding my limitation, which means I have to give up cards to activate a location, well, limiting.

So I could vie to take back the Presidency, if anyone else out there is uncomfortable with us having a Pradmiral.

Or I could maybe move to Comms or somewhere, knowing it would burn up three cards to get there and to activate it.

Or I could try to build up my hand so I can be more effective later.

Any input?

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

I thought we had a spike at first, but I realized that Cally must have thrown in the EN-0 because she couldn't play just one card, and she knew that if it ended up doubling a negative Destiny, she could Quick Fix it away.

So Destiny must have played both negatives, and any Cylon(s) we have must be playing clean at the moment.

Or we have none and Sleeper Phase is going to be very exciting.

It's definitely not a good thing if he's a Cylon. I'll be interested to hear what he has to say about Cally's Loyalty as well.

Cally played an SR-3 on this check, so Blue (would have) counted positive.
