I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

Just to keep things moving along, I've sent out the new Loyalty cards. I regret to inform you that one of the Fleet has been found to have Cylon sympathies. In hindsight it's obvious, I suppose. An excerpt from Helo's diary from Caprica:

"All I want is an incredibly attractive woman who will stand by me in a fire fight and a desperate struggle for survival, and who desperately wants to have my baby. And it'd be a bonus if she had a twin sister who felt the same way. ...But where could I possibly find a woman like that?"

Ohh, Officer Agathon. I must ask you to report immediately to the Brig to discuss your taste in women, and possibly record a cover version of the Supremes' "Love Child".

Hee. As the Fleet breathes a sigh of relief after jumping, Galactica turns its attention to a baffling rash of graffiti turning up throughout the ship. The leadership is reportedly at a loss as to what to make of the messages proclaiming "THE QUORUM SUPPORTS ME IN EMAIL".

The Pradmiral may be confused, but *I* know what's what.

I'm ACTIVATING the Brig to GET ME THE HELL AWAY FROM RADIATION BOY.

Let's hear it for interrupts. Investigative Committee and/or Scientific Research, pass or play. I also have orders from Mr Zarek - he will use his Friends in Low Places to lower the difficulty by 2. This is currently a 5 YP check.

You don't have that XO? Pity.

Edit: Because somehow I missed I had the wrong quote

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I cannot help with the check. However we are currently getting the paperwork done to ensure Mr. Zarek's speedy return to the fleet.

There are no interrupts. Helo, you're first to play.
