Hey, I will not deny I have a strong interest in seeing one or the other of your cards. To be fair, if the card allowed me to look at anyone's cards I would check Dr. Baltar's (no offense, Gaius), simply because he is the most likely to be a cylon at this stage (he has drawn two loyalty cards). Also, if we had taken any morale damage this turn already, I might simply opt for the 10 card hit, and be done with it. However, that isn't a choice I have.

As it is, however, I think the test will be an interesting moment for our leadership, and for a very small price, that, if Madam President is not a toaster, she can fix easily with a quorum card. On the other hand, I will sleep better knowing that dear old Dad isn't a Cylon, because he controls our jump destination. Our only hope is to be able to jump as often as possible, for as long a distance as possible. The Admiral draws two jump cards, chooses one and buries the other. Bad jump cards cost morale or fuel, and don't move us toward New Caprica very far. Good ones replace fuel, or get us a lot longer along our way.

And I hate to point this out because I recommended it as well (although I am now reconsidering) -- the Admiral was pretty quick to sacrifice one of our nukes during his turn. We only have one left, now, and that could make things tight if we get attacked by multiple basestars.

And Madam President, there need be no brig involved. If you aren't a cylon, you may continue hitting the kamala and talking to things that aren't there all you want. Same goes for the Old Man. But if you are, I think we all need to know upon which side your toast is buttered.

I'm happy to undergo the Cylon test, for the good of the fleet and the morale of we few survivors of the human race.

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

Just reading back through the thread....

Mdm President, those cards weren't mine. I played none. The two folks in vipers are clear of the extra negative card (assuming both deck cards were negative).

Laga and omnis, let me be clear.... SO FAR, my intimations of tossing people out of airlocks is based on nothing more than fancy and kamala vapors. I just like thinking about spacing toasters, and all y'all look kinda shiny at the moment. It's probably just the kamala talking....

When it comes to skill checks the players need to play their cards in order (which means right now we're waiting on Boomer). You can email me conditional orders if your turn's not up yet.

I have no cards that can help, so I play 0 cards.

I have conditional orders from Adama, Roslin and Baltar: all play no cards. Captain Apollo, what do you play?

I now have Apollo's orders: Play 1 Card.

With that, the Skill Check is completed, with a total of three cards played. Results:

Red 2
Red 4
Blue 1

Total: -7. Fail: -1 Morale; Apollo chooses either President Roslin or Admiral Adama and looks at their Loyalty Card.

Apollo, please indicate your choice.
