In non-BSG news, I played Gone Home last night. Anyone else played it? It helps if you don't even think of it as a game but instead as a unique storytelling experience.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

Tally: 16 - 6 = 10. Pass! The Admiral keeps his feet out of the fire. However, we do have some lovely parting gifts. The three Treachery cards add 2 raiders to Sector 1, 1 civilian ship to Sector 4 and 2 Treachery cards to the destiny deck. The raiders activate immediately.
Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cain's turn. Helo starts his turn on Pegasus. Thanks to his weakness, he draws 4 cards this turn. He has opted to forgo 1 Green. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Oh look at that Piloting spike! Right, so Helo's the Cylon, and he's going to Reveal right now because otherwise we are killing him so hard.
Baltar: Sickbay
Baltar is in FTL.

The Cylon smiles. Not because the skill check passed. But for what was played.

I love how you humans jump to conclussions. Because the Destiny Deck doesn't play any Red cards??
I wonder, will I get a new friend, or will the humans drop another morale point? Such intrigue! Such entertainment!

Finger pointing again? I was a good soldier, I did my best.
I play CS-4. oh look I get two actions!
Baltar and Cottle both wanted Apollo airlocked because Apollo made the power grab. I went with them. Cottle played the card that took away the skill check and sealed his fate. Without that who knows what would have happened.
Maybe we should try and find out.
Oh, and look where I am...
I activate the Airlock on Cain.

No. I didn't. Baltarnate played this card.

My apologies Dr. Cottle. I should have gone back and double checked.
Anyway, Baltar really wanted Apollo dead and I got the blame for it.
We'll have to see if Cain can stay alive.
