It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

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

Well, while you guys think of things, I will play CS-4 and activate the Quorum Chamber.

Double the destruction and/or resource raising!

First order of business, I am going to Arrest Kat on suspicion of drug possession.

Hm, what should I do next?

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

BSG

Demand that she share?

That is a good idea!

I confiscate Kat's drugs and reveal as a Cylon DEA agent.

Phew! Thank goodness that's out of the way - now we can concentrate on winning the game.

Right then. Look at that, the President was a Cylon! He pops off to the Resurrection Ship, discarding:

Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Popular Influence 3
Unorthodox Plan 3

He passes off his other loyalty card to Chief Tyrol (I bet it's another Cylon card) and draws a super crisis card. Oh, and his Cylon loyalty card was:

YOU ARE A CYLON - CAN MAKE PLAYERS DRAW TREACHERY

So that's on the way too. It'll take me a moment or two to sort through all this. In the meantime, feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

Next step: human players' random discards are:

Zarek: Iron Will 0
Kat: Repair 1
Chief: Calculations 5

Administrative note: the prodigious Treachery draw exhausted the Treachery deck. Seriously, it's pooped (it's a poop deck). I've reshuffled the discards.

The treacherous Treachery has gone out. Have I forgotten anything? Oh, wait, one last order of business. We need a new President! Aaaand top in the order of succession is now... Citizen Tom Zarek! Quorum cards are going out now.
