Madam President, I am sending you two Crisis Cards. Let me know which one your Religious Visions prefer. (This time around I'll ask that you just send it to me rather than post your choice here; there's something one of the other players wants to check.)
BSG
Total: 14 - 13 = 1. Baltar walks free!
Incredible. A tip of the hat to you, Madame President. You played that round well. We burned nine cards, wasted a turn, and got nothing. You almost convinced me you weren't a skinjob when you went to throw Baltar in the pokey, but we didn't even get NEAR the number we needed. You had no intention of seeing him behind bars, and all you did was get rid of the Admiral's and my cards. You're absolutely right, Boomer -- Madame President played us for chumps.
And now I'm sure that Madame Kamala will pick only the finest of crisis cards for us...
We are so hosed. Hell, even my JAW!! is depressed.
BSG
Admiral Adama has invoked his once-per game ability, Command Authority. This allows him to pick up all 11 cards that were just played into the skill check to brig Baltar.
BSG
I knew there was a reason I am so attracted to President Roslin. She's a crafty one, she is. Also, apparently her spine lights up during sex.
But hey, she did uphold her deal with me.
BSG
sweet.
I mean the Admiral picking up the no-longer-wasted skill cards is sweet. I don't want to think about what Roslin's spine does during sex.
BSG
Roslin? Spine? Sex? Oh Gods, Dad. I think I just I just threw up a little in my mouth.
BSG
You're absolutely right, Boomer -- Madame President played us for chumps.(just had to remind)

(from way back)
We still have incoming hostiles and I need you to suit up and get ready to fly, pilot. Are we clear? I need you to have a level head and a steady hand out there, Boomer.Um, Hey. Here in Hanger Deck. Is that an order to fly? Happy to. Let's not forget who blew up the first mother ship? Let's not forget who tried to help you with evasive maneuvers. C'mon CAG, let's get your head in the game. Let's burn some Toasters!!!
BSG
C'mon CAG, let's get your head in the game. Let's burn some Toasters!!!
Roger that, Boomer. Politicians lie, pilots fly. I'm ready to do some flying.
BSG
Somebody remind me how it is that we "know" Adama isn't a cylon? Because I'm doing the math, and I think we got skunked on the odds and we already have our two cylons, and I have a pretty good idea who they are.
