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

Is it just me, or do the Daybreak Crises seem to have a lot more "Discard and draw Treachery" cards than before? Or have we just been "lucky"?

In this case, possibly just lucky. This is a Pegasus crisis card (as were the last two cards, Assassination Plot and Unsettling Stories). Though if you draw the Daybreak card Incitement to Mutiny and fail the skill check, you get to shuffle 4 Treachery cards into Destiny. Something to look forward to!

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

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

Well, option 2 wouldn't do me much bad. It'd be an interesting swap, at best. So, let's go for option 1.

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

Helo chooses the discard! And I have discarad COs for... one person. Helo. Well, clearly you all suck. Those are the easy COs, people!

Bah. Time to do them now. Everyone, please post your choice of discard. Helo discards:

Combat Veteran 3
A Better Machine 3

Here are all the discards:

Helo: Combat Veteran 3, A Better Machine 3
Cottle: Red Tape 0, Repair 1
Leoben: Personal Vices 3, Personal Vices 3
Baltar: Red Tape 0, Repair 1
Hoshi: A Better Machine 3, Exploit Weakness 5
Apollo: Consolidate Power 1, Exploit Weakness 5

That's a lot of Treachery there. Just as well too, as there were only 4 cards left in the Treachery deck. And only 4 cards in the discard pile too. Thankfully, we now have enough Treachery to ensure everyone gets their full allotment. Two Treachery cards are going out to each player.

Cards have been sent. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Helo's turn. Cottle's cards are going out. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
