Are you trying to divert attention from the fact that you're a cylon?

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

BSG

Yes of course. The guy who's building a cylon detector is a cylon.

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

Turn 1.4 - Gaius Baltar. I'm sending the card draw. I have conditional orders from Baltar, so this will move quickly:

Move: to Communications.

Action: Look at the two civilian ships, and move them from Sector 4 to Sector 5.

Crisis Card: A Traitor Accused (Current Player's Choice).

Gaius Baltar, please post your choice.

Yeah, yeah.... Well this airlock with your name stenciled on it is just dedicated in your honor....

Baltar takes a yellow card.

I'm thinking it's too early in the game to pull out my once-a-game ability. It's possible my cylon detector doesn't work so well on cylons who don't know yet that they're cylons. I want to pass this challenge.

I want to pass this challenge.

To clarify, does this mean you are choosing the Skill Check option?

I'm open to discussion, I'd like to know what kind of support I can expect. I certainly don't want to discard most of my hand but I don't want to arbitrarily send someone to the brig either.

As a first pass, I've started putting the number of cards everyone holds in the end of turn summaries. You can take a look at that for a start. (Keep in mind everyone's skill set. For instance, Laura Roslin draws just Yellow and Green; Boomer only Purple, Red and Blue.)

I can't find the character sheets in my rules. Adama, can you help me? Laura? You don't think I'm the traitor, do you?

I am out of cards since I haven't had a turn yet. No help from me. 8 shouldn't be too hard to hit as a challenge, though. Roslin has 7 green and yellow cards in her hand alone, and Adama certainly has at least 2 green. If, for some reason, we end up losing the challenge (which would certainly indicate some serious Cylon saboteur activity) , don't throw either me or Roslin in the brig; we have the most cards of the right colors to get the person out. If we are in the brig, we can only play one card, limiting our effectiveness.
