You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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

(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.)

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

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.

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

BSG (Apollo)

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

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."

It's so much fun to drift like that. So quiet. Very relaxing. You should try it.

I have clarifications (more or less). We continue the SoE.

Helo activates the Research Lab and draws 1 Blue. Card sent.

Cottle activates command and orders the RSV in Sector 6 to fire at the raiders twice. Results:

Fire 1: 8. Hit!
Fire 2: 7. Hit!

Both raiders are destroyed.

Leoben moves to the Human Fleet.

That's all the COs I have. Baltar is up last.
