He cares about our call. I can tell from the music.

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

Ok, we're back. Where were we? Oh yes:

Sabotage Investigated: 9 PB

Destiny: 2 cards
Roslin: 4 cards
Adama: 1 card
Chief: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Cally: 2 cards

Cards played:

Establish Network 0
Repair 1
Repair 2
Scientific Research 3
Red Tape 0
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Iron Will 0
Iron Will 0
State of Emergency 6

Tally: Wait, this gets complicated. We have three different varieties of 0-value cards in this check! Here are their effects:

Establish Network 0: This card doubles the value of all Blue cards in the check. The Blue total was 6, so their contribution is: +12!

Total negatives equal 11, so that doesn't sound good. However, that brings us to the next 0-value:

Red Tape 0: This card eliminates any cards of value 5 or 6. The State of Emergency 6 is removed from the check! Negatives drop to 5:

Tally: 12 - 5 = 7. Fail!

Now we turn to the final 0-value card.

Iron Will 0: If the check fails by 4 or less, then this card nullifies the fail effect. The check fails for a loss of: zero resources!

Sabotage successfully investigated. Cally even got her lunchbox back. Next, the heavy raider activation adds a new heavy raider in... Sector 2. It also advances the pursuit track, which means we need a new civvie. CAGmiral Adama, where would you like to place it? It can go in Sector 4, 5 or 6.

The CAGmiral has spoken. The new civilian ship appears in Sector 6. Finally, the jump track advances. Humans survive to see another turn! Specifically, Roslin's. Roslin starts her turn in Sickbay, so she only draws one card. She has opted to draw Green. Ms Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Roslin)

Sheesh.

What's it gonna take around here? I stretch, and Reveal as a Cylon! Y'all are shocked, I can tell. Since you didn't manage to kill me off, I pass my unrevealed loyalty card to Adama, and send Cally to sickbay.

BSG

Roslin reveals her Cylon loyalty card - YOU MAY SEND A PLAYER TO SICKBAY. Cally's lunchbox wasn't as innocuous as it appeared at first glance; she discards five cards (she has three left) and moves to Sickbay. Cally's discards are:

Consolidate Power 1
Major Victory 1
Declare Emergency 3

Meanwhile, Roslin heads to the Resurrection Ship for a refreshing goo bath and a super crisis. As she is now a revealed Cylon, there is no crisis card. That concludes Roslin's turn. Adama's cards are going out. CAGmiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
