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

BSG

Baltar plays two cards. Will it be enough? Cards played:

Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Preventative Policy 4
Investigative Committee 5
Restore Order 3
Establish Network 0
Dradis Contact 0
Violent Outbursts 4

Tally: 16 - 4 = 12. Pass! Baltar declares the fleet to be witch-free! But not Treachery-free. The two Treachery cards take effect. The DC-0 adds two raiders to Sector 1. The VO-4 sends Baltar to Sickbay! Apparently there were people who didn't appreciate being accused of witchery.

And now, some more good news, because this check is Reckless. We have a chance to do it all again! The top card of the Treachery deck is:

Personal Vices 3

The fleet survives the Recklessness unscathed! Finally, the heavy raider activates and moves to Sector 4, and the jump track also advances. That concludes Baltar's turn. Hoshi has opted to draw 1 Treachery. Hoshi, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Hoahi's card draw exhausted the Treachery deck, for the third time this game. I've reshuffled the discards.

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

BSG (Leoben)

I am reasonably certain that either Helo or Cottle is a cylon.

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

BSG (Toasty Hoshi)

MOVE: Cylon Fleet.

ACTION: Activate Raiders.

Sit back and enjoy the show, campers. Should be some mighty fine entertainment. I see 2 Civillians going down, and hopefully some red shirted ships too!

Some days, it's good to be a Cylon.

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

What makes you say that?

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Cottle)

I'm curious what I've done that makes you think I'm a metallic humanoid?

I'm not sure secrecy rules will permit me to expose my thought process.

Oh. Oh oh oh. I forget that you're a very good Cylon detector because very often you know what Destiny plays.

In any case, I've been accusing Helo for ages, so that's not news. Let's remember that we could execute him with a high enough Admiral Quarter's check.

My turn is coming up, and, as I suspected, pretty much all the damage has already been done, so I don't know that a Blind Jump is our best move after all. Does anyone have a plan if I'm able to XO Baltar to activate FTL? If I don't get an XO, I don't know, maybe we kill Helo for kicks.
