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!

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.

For the record, I didn't talk of airlocking you, brother. I want you alive!!!
BSG (Toasty Hoshi)
Correction. I wasn't a turncoat. I was more a spy.
BSG (Cottle)
Nothing personal, I just love a good airlocking, it's like the BSG version of a ticker tape parade.

I have orders from Helo, who is going to follow Baltar's and Cottle's advice:
Move to the Airlock.
Activate the Airlock for Apollo.
Helo, you need to discard 1 card to move to Pegasus. When you're ready, please post your discard.
(Helo also asked me to pass on that "Airlock for Apollo" would make a great slogan. I can't wait for the next Presidential election, pitting Gaius "Airlock for Apollo" Baltar against Lee "NEXT GAME I AM KILLING EVERYBODY -- EVERYBODY" Adama.)
Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. Just to get the ball rolling,
Helo plays a Scientific Research 4.
Blue is now positive; this check is now 12 YPBT.
You can also send me COs for the check itself. Cottle plays first, Helo last.
BSG (Apollo)
Uh. Well. Guys, this is a bad idea. I'm human. Please don't do this.
BSG(Doctor Death)
Then we'll be welcoming Helena Cain to the show very soon.
I play
Political Prowess
and force the check to succeed.
BSG (Apollo)
You guys are assholes and you'll be sorry.
I'm not sure Cain is necessarily the best option because if Helo is the other Cylon we won't have a pilot and no one else draws Piloting (Helo barely does as it is). Plus if no one can XO me, we're going to have several Cylon activations by the time I could Blind Jump anyway.
