Wow. That's crazy. I think I need a score card to try and track all that.
3 off color cards in the mix. Even if destiny hated us, that still leaves one as a spike. We all played 1, except Doc, who played 3. But given the earlier spike, and lack of doc involvement, I doubt he put all 3 in the pile.
Either way, we clearly need IC's to keep things honest, and figure out who is hearing Jimmy Hendrix.

As I said, the Install Upgrades is off-color but it has a positive effect (besides triggering the Consequence, which several on-color cards did as well), so I would not consider it a spike. It's possible the two negative cards came from Destiny. I don't think any of us has Treachery besides Leoben, who appears to be on our side for now, and the TtL-5 does ping me as a deliberate spike. People drawing Blue are Leoben, Baltar, Hoshi, and Cottle, but Cottle couldn't have spiked the first check, and Leoben is Leoben. If this check was spiked, it wasn't Helo, which brings the likely candidates for hidden Cylon to Baltar and Hoshi. If this check was not spiked, we have no new information, however.

It all depends on what the Doc decides.

I'm pretty confident in the Doc, who made this check verrrrry interesting; I'm guessing at least one, if not more, of those 0-value cards was his. Besides, screwing us over now, after his turn is over, would be stupid. I can't imagine the strategic advantage there.
BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)
I'm pretty confident in the DocI would agree with that.
Also an interesting observation that Doc might have added the 0-cards.
Which then makes us wonder, is it a spike of the blue? Or destiny being destiny? If it was destiny, then, the person who spiked it before played to help? Which leads me to think, maybe Leoben spiked the first.
But then again, this is ALL specultation. Gotta love this game!
BSG (Let the Doc make it better)
I'm going to Remove the PV-3 thus making the check a pass.
BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)
Now? Who is the ill player? Seems only fitting the Doc should make this choice.
BSG (Doc)
Leoben is going to Sickbay. My thinking is that since he draws fewer cards anyway, his being in sickbay at the start of his turn has a small impact on our group card draw.
BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)
Sound good to me.
BSG
The check passes! This means that Cottle draws two Blue cards thanks to the IU-0. The Consequence triggers a lot, and Cottle diagnoses Leoben with metal fatigue and quite possibly Mr Roboto syndrome. Off he goes to Sickbay!
Next, heavy raiders activate, which does nothing interesting as the jump track reaches the end. The fleet jumps! Two destinations to the Admiral. Or it would be, except Cottlepalooza is still running. He's your Mission Specialist for this jump, and will receive three destinations for his consideration. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please post the fleet's destination.
