What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Sorry again everything. I'm teching far too many shows right now and have barely been finding time to sleep a few hours a night.

I work the quorum.

Damn, I had a whole post and it got eaten. A lot happened, exciting turn. Brief summary:

Apollo played Authorisation of Brutal Force and destroyed three raiders. Everyone passed on interrupts. The die roll passed anyway.

His crisis card is Boarding Parties. Cylon attack! It tries to add a total of five heavy raiders; Apollo keeps one off the board from Sector 1.

At turn end, Apollo has 12 cards in hand and must discard two. President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your discards.

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

BSG (Baltron)

Welp, my family has arrived, and they're calling me home.

I reveal as a Cylon.

I discard RT-0, CP-2, IC-4, XO-1, DE-3, DE-4, and AAC-4.

Sayonara, suckers!

Baltar reveals! That's a shock. His loyalty card states:

YOU ARE A CYLON - CAN DECREASE THE JUMP PREP TRACK BY 2

Fortunately, he's in the Brig, so it has no effect. In fact, Baltarnate's weakness means that he can't reveal outside the Brig; a Cylon Baltarnate can never use his reveal power.

There's one last piece of business. Baltron, please advise which lucky crew member gets your other loyalty card.

I can't decide. It's a three-way Tigh.

Cylon Baltarnate can never use his reveal power? I mean, I'm glad but that seems broken.

Cylon Baltarnate can never use his reveal power? I mean, I'm glad but that seems broken.

It's a weakness, so it's supposed to be troublesome. However: it only applies if he's a Cylon, and it's not uncommon for other Cylons not to get to use their reveal power either. (Either because they get sussed out, or they get an opportunity for sabotage that's a better option.) For me, the more interesting wrinkle is that he can't reveal at the time of his own choosing.

Meanwhile: there's one minor error in Baltar's discards, so just for the record:

Red Tape 0
Consolidate Power 1
Investigative Committee 4
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 4
Declare Emergency 4

That concludes Baltar's turn. Tigh-the-excessively-loyal's cards are going out. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, plesae post your move and action.
