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

Ok, I believe I can interpret Adama's orders, so here are the check results:

Destiny: 2 cards
Adama: no cards
Roslin: 1 card
Baltar: 1 card
Apollo: no cards
Boomer: 1 card

Cards:

Yellow 2
Purple 3
Blue 4
Green 1
Green 1

Tally: 9 - 2 = 7. Pass! Boomer, you are free. You may move to any other location. Please post where you would like to move. (Note: as you escaped on your own turn rather than through an XO, you have no further actions this turn.)

There are a couple of cards in the game that can do it (such as when Roslin played Encourage Mutiny on you). However, the standard mechanisms are:

1. Admiral - you lose the Admiral's title if you get brigged. So, if you brig Roslin, she won't be Admiral anymore (as the only player out of the Brig, you would again become Admiral).

2. President - the Administration location on Colonial One allows you to call elections and nominate any other player (including yourself) for President.

Finally, if she reveals as a Cylon, she will lose any and all titles.

Aaaand now, since you're out of the Brig, it's time for your Crisis Card. It's a repeat, I'm afraid - we must be in the off season.

President's Choice

Madam President, when you're ready please post your choice.

Didn't she reveal herself?

Frak! And the toaster head gets choice. This could be bad.

If she'd revealed herself, she'd be over on the Cylon locations with Apollo 13. Revealing is a specific action. It involves more than everyone figuring out you're a Cylon.

Hmmm... Tough choice. Really screw them on food, or kind of screw them on food, and screw the only human out of the brig on cards.

Oh, Faithful Moderator, I believe I will have to take the Screw Them A Little On Food, Screw Boomer A Little On Cards option. Goatta spread the pain, dontcha know?

The Fleet loses 1 Food. Boomer, you are required to discard 3 cards. Please post your choice of cards to discard.
