Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

(I love reading your games, it's like hanging out in somebody's basement late on a Friday night and eating pizza while a trash-talking D&D game is played)

You know what's even more fun? Joining in. New players always welcome...

Meanwhile! Baltar takes Apollo's miracle token into safekeeping. He will protect it well. Naturally, then, Baltar's crisis card is:

The Guardians
Cylon Attack

All vipers and all civilian ships are already on the board, so no new ones will be added.

That concludes Baltar's turn. It took two hours. Tigh's cards are going out. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your move and action. See if you can beat Baltar's record.

By the way, a bit of trivia: after Tigh's card draw, every single player holds ten cards in hand. There's lovely.

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

BSG (Baltar)

I can help a little with the check.

You didn't help at ALL, Helo! What's up with that? That's pretty suspicious. You too, Apollo, clearly we need to rebuild some trust here.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

Baltar you played two cards and yet I only see one positive card in the check.

Those are both facts.

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

BSG (Admiral Tigh)

Pass on interrupts, I can help a lot on this check.
Um. Where was the help? For the toasters? I guess we know why he picked to Kill the old Admiral, and drop morale, earlier in the game.

Baltar you played two cards and yet I only see one positive card in the check.
Yes, Mr. President. That positive card was the one I played. I under played, since a deceiver said he could help a lot.

MOVE: Admiral's Quarters.

ACTION: Activate Admiral's Quarters on Baltar!

Oh, and I use my ability to reduce the difficulty of brigging this skin job.

I know we have a lot of flak in the air. We can't risk another spike in crisis checks. And with my turn, I can use my ability to reduce the difficulty in brigging him.

Oh. And. FRAK!

Briggity briggity. With Tigh's Cylon Hatred, this is a 4 GP check. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Helo plays first, Tigh last.
