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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

BSG

Nope. I don't draw yellow, but I do draw a lot of purple.

And my understanding is that we could have both cylons already. Which means they probably both just accidentally outed each other.

Wait, I have it! Billytea is the Cylon.

Galactica fires on BT!

Yes, this is an interesting occurance, isn't it?

Oops. Sorry. My notes had starbuck as being able to pick yellow or blue, but it's green or blue. I humbly apologise.

Pradmiral, we need to get Zarek out of the Brig. We also need to kill the 14 enemy birds swarming us!

As for the cards, I think destiny tossed for both sides that time.

Omnis, I totally agree that Zarek needs to be released. Apollo has already stated his action and Tyrol really needs to go fix vipers. I can't see Zarek getting out before it's his actual turn which is a pity as it's becoming clear we will need him to be packing a full hand of cards very soon.

We have some problems ahead.
