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.

BSG (Leoben)
Ouch painful discard there, Cain.
BSG (Cain)
Baltar, I know you're human and all, but remember that time I took the Admiralty from Helo because I thought he might be a Cylon? And then you killed me for it? Yeah. Yeah.
Anyway, you need to get a miracle token from me (my OPG is worthless now) or Leoben to raise Population so we don't die. And we're going to need a miracle to win at this point, but maybe we can pull it off...somehow. At least now we can all trust each other, although who knows what Leoben's game is.
Ouch painful discard there, Cain.
I KNOW. 50-50 chance there.
BSG (Leoben)
I don't even trust me. But I agree raising population is imperative.
BSG(Doctor Fertility)
I still say making yourself Pradmiral is hanging up a giant FREE TOAST sign. As in, if there's no toast, you shouldn't hang it up.
ANYWAY, I agree Pop is our top priority now. If one of Cottle or Leoben can XO me, we can get it taken care of before the fun starts. If Cottle can't XO me, Treating to a couple Blue would be a very good idea.

That was the icing on the cake. What a wonderful coming out! Well done, Brother Helo. Who knew you were the other Cylon?? ::blink blink::
Let's hope we can snag those civilian ships, and they have population on them.
BSG (Helo)
I was told I could reveal this - I had totally other plans for my turn until Baltar came up with the Airlock and then I just went with it.
Oh my plan to force the humans to lose cards after I gave up some of mine to help them worked.
waves at Hoshi. Glad I have the Cylon stamp of Approval.

One final piece of housekeeping: Helo discards his mutiny card too, of course. It was:
