You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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

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

Hi, I'd like to go back in time and remind myself that at one time I suspected Hot Dog of being a Cylon and then not XO him. Thanks.

Gotcha. Zarek is now lost in an alternate universe. Should he still get a crisis card? Sure, why not! If this card has a raider activation, five civvies will be destroyed. It would be hard to recover from that. (And all because Zarek chose to XO Hot Dog!)

Zarek's crushing guilt... is mitigated! In fact, I have a nice, easy crisis for you. Zarek's crisis card is:

Water Shortage (E)
President's Choice

There is a Food Shortage with a raider activation; but this one fires up the basestars. President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Zarek)

I can handle the discard.

Cally: PRESS THE BUTTON.

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

Action 2: Reveal as a Cylon

Holy frakin' shit. I mean. What the hell. I did NOT see that coming. As BT will attest, I had suspicious eyes elsewhere. Gorrum!

Um, yeah, We gotta jump outta this place and lick our wounds. Then we gotta blast that border.

What the hell. I did NOT see that coming.

My suspicions were based entirely on who could have spiked that check. Nothing about his actual actions screamed Cylon to me. Godsdammit.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Baltar)

Sorry for dissuading you, Admiral. I was actually convinced that he was the Cylon after Athena was super helpful and I knew I wasn't, and remembered your analysis. But by then it was really too late to do anything.

Except not XO him, I guess.

Yeah, I definitely should have said something. I let RL distract me from the game, alas.

Would anyone like their toast burnt on one side?
