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

BSG (Leoben)

Wow! That was a lot of things. And stuff. So now it's Admiral Apollo and President Baltar (another power grab without consulting the consensus). I wonder who will seize the presidency next.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

As an observer, I think this is the most backstabbing and distrust I've seen since the early game where everyone except Apollo ended up in the brig.

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

I dunno. Damn good entertainment. I will miss this when we eradicate them.

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

BSG (Apollo)

Well, I'm kind of at a loss here. Who can do something with an XO? Newly minted President Baltar, now that you've collected 3 miracle tokens, could you give us a little help? Unless you're a Cylon.

I could Infiltrate the Fleet, that counts as an action and lets me move to any location on Galactica so I'd still have another action available to me.

BSG (Apollo)

Can I XO you when you're not Infiltrating? I think you count as Cylon now.

And how do I know you won't just play a Super Crisis?

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

BSG(Doctor Doubt)

He'd have to have a Super Crisis to play one on an XO. Ending Infiltration doesn't give a crisis draw like Reveal does.

Unfortunately none of these Quorum cards seem applicable to our situation. If you really want to help, getting Helo into the sky might be best.

BSG (Leoben)

I think you can XO any other player, they don't have to be human. But I might be wrong and it'd probably be good to have a pilot in the sky.

I can't XO Helo; he's next. Cottle in Command wouldn't get us too much, unless we go with the old double Treatment option.

Unfortunately none of these Quorum cards seem applicable to our situation.

Well, there's one that could help if we had a plan, which we don't, sadly. But you can exchange your miracle tokens to raise Morale, can't you?

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

BSG

Cylons can't be XO'd. While not infiltrating, Leoben counts as a Cylon.
