I have orders from Starbuck and Tigh to finish off the check.

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: 2 cards
Chief: 2 cards
Zarek: no cards
Helo: 1 card
Starbuck: 4 cards
Tigh: 1 card

Let's see how it went. Cards:

Green 4
Purple 1
Purple 1
Purple 1
Purple 1
Purple 2
Purple 5
Yellow 2
Yellow 2
Yellow 3
Yellow 4
Blue 3

Tally: 15 - 14 = 1. Fail. When next the marines check the Research Lab, they discover that Dr Baltar's Cylon Detector has been replaced with a t-shirt carrying the caption "I'm With Stupid"! Players may no longer look at other players' Loyalty cards.

Cylon Activation: Heavy raiders. The three heavy raiders all move into position outside the launch tubes. One more activation will see them board.

Jump Prep: Yes.

That concludes Pradmiral Tigh's turn. Captain Apollo is in Sickbay and can draw only 1 card; he has opted to draw a Tactics card. Apollo, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

Not a lot of good options with all the vipers shot up.

Move: Weapons Control.

Action: Fire on one of the heavy raiders.

I'd also like to point out that someone spiked that last check big time. Destiny can't count for 5 negative value cards.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG

hmm. 4 yellow cards, 4 cards played by Starbuck. Coincidence? Granted (s)he is not the only player who draws yellow cards. But an interesting coincidence. Too bad we can't check out loyalty cards anymore.

One thing I know. Saul and I **don't** draw yellow cards.

Apollo is firing at one of the heavy raiders. Which one? Only his optometrist knows for sure. Are there any Strategic Planning interrupts? Everyone, let me know if you pass or play.

Sorry, forgot they were in two separate sectors. I'll fire at the one in sector 6.

BSG

Yup, Omnis, but what's really tricky here is that Starbuck doesn't have access to Yellow cards and I don't think any card played would have gotten her any either.

The only two people with access to Yellow - who played cards - are Apollo and Tyrol.

Here's the really troubling thing, the check was spiked by 5 cards - 4 Yellow and 1 Blue, so if you deduct 2 for Destiny that's still 3 cards. 3 cards is 1 more than either Apollo or Tyroll played and the only person that played that many doesn't have access to Yellow.

So unless Starbuck somehow had a huge stockpile of Yellow cards hidden under the table, we are looking at 2 cylons, not 1. Or clumsiness.

BT, there's usually only 1 cylon for the start of a game, right?
