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

BSG (Leoben)

Yeah, that was better than bad.

Sorry guys, I got caught in a runaround.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to XO anyone, and everyone else seems to have the useful positions covered. Could we use another assault raptor, perhaps?

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

BSG (Apollo)

I think we're good with one for now. But if you want to launch it preemptively, go for it.

Eh. Let's save that for later. I will Move to Command and steal Cottle's miracle token.

The good Doctor is suddenly surrounded by a bevy of bodacious beauties. After they've finished whispering in his ear and patting his paunch, he somehow feels less miraculous than before.......

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

BSG

Cottle has been un-miracled! Well, now his feelings are hurt. Can the President mediate? Cultar's (I think that when he uses his ability he's Cultar) crisis card is:

Truth and Reconciliation
President's Choice

President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Yikes. Is miracle theft a briggable offense?

In any case, Mr Prez, if you think you can handle the card loss, I can too.....

Okay, you guys, does anyone have any compelling arguments as to the identity of our hidden Cylon? I don't have very many cards, and what's left is pretty good; I don't know what Baltar's hand is like.

What's funny is that if we think Baltar is the Cylon, we shouldn't Brig him because then he can use his Reveal power.

Good to know. I can handle it, but it's not optimal. I do want to open up the option for Brigging anyway.

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

I've been trying to guess card play vs card draw since that first spike. I haven't found any compelling evidence to point to any one person. IC's seem to have the best result, despite our lucky break last time.

What's funny is that if we think Baltar is the Cylon, we shouldn't Brig him because then he can use his Reveal power.
Huh. Well, if he is a Toaster, guess that means we gotta Airlock him. Where is Cally when you need her?

I don't think there's enough evidence to know for sure at this point.

I know I will regret this because we know for a fact we have someone who needs Brigging, but Brigging the wrong person won't be good for us. I choose Option 2 and discard XO-1 and MF-3.
