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

I also have COs from Baltar, who plays 2 cards, completing a pleasing symmetry.

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: 0 cards
Boomer: 1 card
Adama: 1 card
Roslin: 0 cards
Baltar: 2 cards

Thanks to Boomer's interrupt, only Red cards count negative. And the results are...

Green 1
Green 4
Purple 2
Blue 2
Blue 2
Blue 4

Tally = 15.
Pass: No effect.

Cylon Activation: Raiders. The raiders in Sector 1 move to Sector 6; the raiders in Sector 4 move to Sector 5.

Jump Prep: No. Stays at Red 2.

Apollo, you're up next. Please advise your choice for your card draw.

YES! Finally pass one! (Hmmm, and Mdm President didn't play any? Coincidence?)

Any suggestions, gang? We have a host of problems, not the least of which is that I still believe we have two cylons loose on our ship. Baltar's refusal to use his cylon detection power has prolonged this internal conflict that is proving so divisive, and I continue to believe that Baltar and Roslin worked together to thwart the last attempt to put the Doctor in the brig.

We are up to our eyebrows in raiders, and nothing any viper pilot can do is going to change that -- we have to hope the cards break our way. But having an undamaged basestar sitting behind us is no good - it could launch more raiders, heavy raiders, or hit us with its main guns. If it does, and hits our armory, we are done for.

Any thoughts?

Transfer the presidency to someone else brig Baltar brig Roslin attack the basestar attack the boarding party

move out and draw fire

BSG

I'd put attacking the boarding party lowest on the list of priorities, because it will advance only on heavy raider activation.

If Roslin gets brigged, does the Presidency pass to Baltar? Or does she retain the Presidency?

You are already on C1...easy enough for you to initiate elections. Hey, if it's good enough for Honduras, it's good enough for us!
