"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

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?

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.

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.

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

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

Cally does not have a glowy red spine.

Okay, that's good news.

Adama, I know you took an opportunity to take the title, and to avoid a worse option. But would you oppose me now if I took it back? Just like you're more comfortable knowing you're human holding the titles, I'd be more comfortable knowing I was human with the titles spread out more.

All right, it's bedtime for me, so I'm going to go ahead and Move to Administration, discarding CP1 and CP2 to activate it, renominating me for the Presidency. Further, I interrupt with StP1.

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

I think Roslin's human.
