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.
BSG (Zarek)
I can handle the discard.
Cally: PRESS THE BUTTON.

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.
BSG (Zarek)
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.
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.
BSG (Apollo)
I could have done something! We should have talked moar!
BSG (Baltar)
Yeah, I definitely should have said something. I let RL distract me from the game, alas.
BSG (Hot Dog)
Would anyone like their toast burnt on one side?
BSG (Baltar)
Have you heard the one about the perpetual motion machine made out of a piece of buttered toast strapped to a cat's back?
Anyway, Pres. Apollo, can you handle discarding two cards? It seems like a pretty light price for 1 Food. And after that I agree with Admiral Z, let's get the frak out of here. We still don't know entirely what Athena wants out of life, and the rest of us may have hidden agendas of one kind or another, but we can be pretty sure who's a Cylon and who isn't, at least. Excelsior!
My answers to the Pop Quiz:
- Everyone was like "it's over" but then Adama was like no way and the Cylons were like way but he was like way and it ruled
and
- Because I could really use thy living quarters if thou happened to be a Cylon
