Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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

The Airlock gets an encore! Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Cottle plays first, Helo last.

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

I can only anti-help a little. Helo and Hoshi may be able to pass this on their own, I don't know. Helo is going to have to discard down to 3 when he Reveals, so he might as well play all his Purple cards, which could be a lot.

Oh, just to ensure everyone knows, the Airlock is a 12 YPT check. Treachery counts positive for an airlocking.

Glad to hear Treachery cards count positive. Finally, a skill check I can HELP with! Mwhahaha!
Not when Team Human needs to mobilize to protect a lone civvie whose destruction could very well end the gameSuch a drama queen. It's what? 3 activations from being killed? Two to get to the same sector, one to kill. Y'all might be jumped by then. It's not like Scar is still on the board. You should be fine.

Ok, things are about to move quickly. Everybody's play:
Airlock (Cain):
12 YPT
Destiny:
2 cards
Cottle:
2 cards
Leoben:
0 cards
Baltar:
0 cards
Hoshi:
1 card
Cain:
1 card
Helo:
5 cards
Cards played:
Consolidate Power 1
Trust Instincts 0
Launch Scout 1
Guts and Initiative 2
Strategic Planning 3
Strategic Planning 4
A Better Machine 3
Major Victory 1
Repair 1
Repair 2
Calculations 5
Tally: 14 - 9 = 5. Fail! But we're not done yet. The TI-0 in the check now adds two more cards from Destiny. Perhaps a couple of Treachery? A 3 and a 4? The top cards of Destiny are:
Bait 0
A Better Machine 3
Two more Treachery, but only worth 3. Final tally: 8. Fail! Cain lives! P-C beats an execution rap. Are we still playing the same game?
We still have some fun. The ABM-3s, yet again, add two Treachery to the destiny deck. The B-0 puts a second civvie in Sector 4.
So ends Helo's Movement Phase. Next up: Action! Perhaps hit the Airlock again? I have orders from Helo:
Reveal loyalty card: YOU ARE A CYLON.
Go on, act surprised. This card sees all the humans discard 1 random card and draw 1 Treachery; then Helo draws 2 Treachery. (He's already at 3 cards, so no need for a discard.) Discards are:
Leoben:
Repair 1
Baltar:
Repair 1
Cain:
Scout for Fuel 6
Cottle:
Launch Scout 2
(So... sorry about that.) Replacement Treachery going out now, as is Helo's super crisis. Small mercies: revealed Cylons don't get a crisis card, so that concludes Helo's turn. Cottle's cards are going out. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
