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

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

BSG

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.

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

BSG (Kat atonic)

ArgH! I was so sure the cylon was Omnis. Why is it (seemingly) always PC?

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

Of course he's a Cylon. Since ND isn't playing, PC has to be. It's the law.

And thank you for the lovely card. PsychoToasterHead.

Well. Seems we have two priorities. Get Kat out of Brig, and me out of sickbay.

And here I was hoping we lucked out with no toasters. I almost emailed BT about that. Almost.

BSG(Presidente Nouveau)

Well, Kat's going to go after me, and the Brig doesn't affect her card draw. So, let's get people where they need to be....

I will Discard EW-5 to Move to the Quorum Chamber and Play XO-1 on the Chief. I suggest you either get some RSVs repaired or start shooting
