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

Are we waiting on me? Did I miss something?

Athena plays a Consolidate Power 1 for Yellow and Purple. Cards sent. But Repairs are neither Yellow nor Purple. Baltar's crisis card has Opinions on that. It is:

Code Blue
Current Player's Choice

Gaius Baltarnate, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Edit: heh, I've been composing this for the last half hour while getting Ryan's lunch. I shall remove all the repetition of Athena's orders.

It's true, yellow and purple do not make blue.

Well, this crisis sucks.

I'm leaning towards Option 2, anyone got a compelling argument for Option 1?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

Nope.

We don't need the positive effect of the skill check, and with spiking in play, it could cost us more than 2 discards each to not get the negative effect.

One point to note, unless otherwise stated, revealed Cylons get to avoid negative effects from crisis cards and participate in positive effects. That means that if you choose option 2, Romo and Hot Dog will each draw 2 Treachery but will not have to discard.

Also worth noting: this card has a jump icon, which means the fleet is about to jump! It's very exciting. Finally: this card also has a heavy raider activation.

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

Great. So our boarding party waltz's one step closer to doom.

Baltar has made his choice, which is to avoid risking Morale. Everyone discards two cards and draws two Treachery! Oh, something I forgot to square away beforehand: I have COs from Athena to use For Love. That means she'll be drawing an extra Treachery, and someone will only have to discard 1 card. However, I forgot to ask who. So:

1. Everyone who has not done so, please send me your choice of discard.

2. Athena, which lucky player gets to discard just one card? (The rest of the crew is welcome to volunteer or beg off.)

Baltar it is!

Thank you, darling, I'm very fond of you, too!
