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

Hmmmm.

Given that there are any number of things that can happen between now and the next two jump icons, does anyone have a better suggestion then getting Helo out of the medbay and back in the sky?

Also, Admiral? What was the upshot of your experiment?

If you have an XO, I think that's the best idea. Nothing to fix. Nothing to shoot at. About the only other thing would be jump early before crap arrives. But, I think it would be better to wait on that.

As to your other question. I think secrecy rules do not allow me to say what the card said. I will say, it didn't help me solve the big question of who spiked that first round.

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

BSG (Apollo)

As to your other question. I think secrecy rules do not allow me to say what the card said.

You can say whether Helo is or is not a Cylon. We don't have to believe you. You can't mention anything specific about what was on the card, like a Personal Goal or a Reveal power or anything.

I will say, it didn't help me solve the big question of who spiked that first round.

That leaves Baltar! If it's not you. Baltar, whom we shouldn't brig.

Assuming we don't have two Cylons, however, I think that means Helo's clean, because unless Hoshi is ALSO a Cylon, there would be no reason for him to lie about Helo's being human.

Man, I should have Airlocked one of you. I would have had a 50/50 chance.

Apollo is correct. You can say whether or not Helo is a Cylon (and you can tell the truth or lie). You can't disclose anything further, like Personal Goals or reveal powers.

I haven't ruled out the possibility, the person who revealed the first check was spiked, was the person who spiked it. Again, can't prove, but, it's not outside the realm of possibilities.

But yes, we shouldn't brig Baltar.

You also forget to mention YOU. Not that I'm saying you are a Cylon. Just saying I haven't ruled you out (just as you haven't ruled me out).

Helo's card said he is *not* a Cylon. Believe me, if you like. Disbelieve me, if you like. I suppose that means, either we are both Cylon, or we are both Human.

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

BSG (Leoben)

And Baltar is up next. If he is metal on the inside we may be about to find out.

If not, an XO to Helo would probably be a good idea.

As always, someone looking at someone else's Loyalty only heightens suspicion. It's almost as if it's designed that way.....

In any case, hearing no better ideas, I will Move to Research Lab to await an XO myself(Never too many Repair cards! Except eleven or more. That's too many. But that never happens! So, never too many!) and then Play XO on Helo. Move your kiester, soldier!

Not true! Sometimes you turn up a Final Five card and get executed.

Helo, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

It's one of the things that make this game so damn frustrating... I mean fun! Fun! Not frustrating. Fun.
