Baltar shuts the door on the Blackmail material he had on... um, himself. Ok then. And Cottle has the vipers ready for any further attack. On a completely unrelated note, Apollo's crisis card is:
Hornet's Nest
Cylon Attack
Raiders activate and move that little bit closer to Sector 4. A bunch of their friends then join in. That concludes Apollo's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG
Sorry, almost concluded. Apollo has 12 cards in hand and must discard 2 cards. Apollo, please post your choice of discards.

OK, look. Our best shot to cancel the Suppressive Fire is to nuke Sector 3. But we can't do that until we get Helo back in the Admiral's chair, and until then he's badly handicapped as a pilot. So my take is: Helo Airlocks Apollo, then Cottle XO's Helo to fire the Nuke, maybe zipping back to Galactica first.
BSG(Dr Frakkit-Os)
And, on the bare, impossible chance that I'm wrong, P-C can still come back as Helena Cain and Blind Jump us the hell out of here.
BSG (Toasty Hoshi)
Wow. Look at that. Some friends came over. Golly guys, Thanksgiving isn't until next week. What will we do for a week? Oh look, a human fleet! Something to play with.
Dr B sure is planning up there. Not too fond of the nuke part. Just saying. The other parts sound fun. Gotta get more pop tarts. This could be entertaining!
BSG (Apollo)
Next turn, he can now activate the President's Office to draw a mutiny card(ETA: without going to the Brig) and take back the Presidency!
...Or if you take a look at the Mutiny card I just discarded, it was the only way I could get rid of it (looks like becoming Admiral was a bad move all around), much like the card YOU discarded wasn't useful to you (OH LOOK I HELPED YOU IT'S LIKE I'M ON YOUR FRAKKING SIDE). Le sigh. I wasn't even thinking of taking back the Presidency at the time, but I suppose that's a good suggestion, except for the part where you're so paranoid you may actually be human. I wish you all would stop talking about Airlocking me, for frak's sake.
I
discard LS-1 and PtF-0.
Oh crap, Suppressive Fire is balls. I don't want to use up our last nuke, but gah.
But we can't do that until we get Helo back in the Admiral's chair, and until then he's badly handicapped as a pilot.
I...I can nuke the basestar if that's what we want. I just spent my turn helping everyone, BALTAR SPECIFICALLY, and ugh.
I'm so tired of this.
BSG (Toasty Hoshi)
I wish you all would stop talking about Airlocking me, for frak's sake.
For the record, I didn't talk of airlocking you, brother. I want you alive!!!
