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

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

BSG

Baltar plays 5 cards. Not that I'm trying to prove I'm not a cylon or anything.

Apollo plays one card with the feeling that this is going to be another of those massive overshoot successes... Not that I am questioning the loyalty of either President Chainsaw or Doctor Simulacrum in any way.

Or hide a big negative card so you can accuse me of having played it.

move out and draw fire

Adama is still doing his victory dance for having snatched victory from the jaws of a crap die roll, and plays nothing.

The outcome:

Blue 1

Purple 1
Purple 1
Purple 1
Purple 2
Yellow 1 (note that it counts positive)
Yellow 2
Yellow 3

Value: 14 - 5 = 9. Fail! All characters in FTL Control (no one) are sent to Sickbay, and 1 Centurion is placed at the start of the Boarding Party track. Won't you all make him feel welcome?

Final steps:

Cylon: Launch (no effect - sob)
Jump Prep: No.

That finishes the Admiral's turn. President Roslin, I'm sending you your cards. Please post your move and action when ready.

Okay, another crisis check another failure, which is getting kind of repetitious, and a bit dangerous as well. With only two bad cards, it COULD have just been a bad destiny draw, but I doubt it. We are being sabotaged.

Madam President, are you going to take action or not? It is clear to everyone in this fleet that Dr. Baltar is a threat to the survival of the human species. From his air sex antics to that single red eye that endlessly moves to and fro in the middle of his head, he simply raises too many unanswered questions. Given our current condition, threatened by raiders and centurions, we cannot afford a fifth-columnist.

Please. Immediately move to place him under arrest before we face another crisis. We cannot afford to let him have another turn free where he will be able to do Gods know what damage to the human species.
