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

BSG (Leoben)

That seems kind of broken. Also, hilarious!

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

Hey wait wait it was fine when it was all jokey times but, seriously, let's not jump to the airlock, sheesh. I totally understand your reasoning, Baltar, and perhaps it was a mistake not to consult anyone, but it was a knee-jerk reaction to being right about Hoshi all along and wanting to keep from being burned again. I have no desire to be Admiral, but at least this way I know for sure the Admiral is human (and can't pull a Hoshi-like stunt). (Honestly, I was considering taking the Admiralty from him when I first started suspecting him, and I wish I'd done so. And also executed him. Twice.)

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

So you're saying that if someone on the crew suspects someone else of being a Cylon... They should execute them? Just to be clear.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Helo)

If Airlock is what people want to do then I'll vote that way. It's extreme but it's the only way to be sure.

Plus Apollo seems to be arguing in favor of it.

Uh you guys this is a very bad idea. I'm not a Cylon. I'm not sure how to convince you otherwise.

You could go back in time and NOT seize the Admiralty unilaterally. That would be very convincing.

Okay, let's pretend I asked what people thought, listened, and then did it for the reason I have already stated and also to keep the game moving.

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

BSG (Toasty Hoshi)

Yup. Don't execute him. He is much more valuable alive. Airlock wouldn't be worth it. Just to save the reveal reward? Golly. That's a lot of cards. I mean, what could the reveal card say? It's not like your jump track can go back more.

But I gotta say. The desire to go back in time... yeah, that's a Cylon thing. Humans, not so much.

Just quickly, for those who are wondering where we are with the SoE, I have orders from both Helo and Cottle, but in each case I need to clarify some things. I also have Leoben's COs, but they're a lot simpler.

Hoshi, go Airlock yourself. I don't need your misguided "support."
