Can I throw Helo out of an airlock, now?

Omnis, seriously, WTF?

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.

I move to Admirals Quarters and Activate the Brig because Tigh is a cylon. Clearly.

Clearly. He did lead us into that giant Cylon ambush that resulted in countless civilian deaths and the damage or destruction of our entire squadron of vipers after all. There's no other choice.

I look forward to you comical twin-toasters revealing yourselves officially so I can cheerfully frak you with a goddamn nuke.

Helo, you are so on the solid waste detail for this.

Toaster? I resent the implication that I'm a one-dimensional, bread-obsessed electrical appliance.

It's brigging night here on Galactica, and Chief Tyrol is pulling out all the stops. Well, almost all. I have passes on Investigative Committees from everyone, so let's get this started. A couple of administrative details:

oh yes... let's do this in the name of Scientific Research all blue cards count positive towards the Pradmiral's brigging.

That's a Blue-3 Chief played. Everyone, when you play a card for its text (or discard it - in fact, anything except playing it into tha check), it's always face-up. If you could post its value too that'd save me the trouble.

I contact my FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES to make this check MORE DIFFICULT.

I'm afraid your FiLP can only modify checks from Administration and the Brig. Your friends don't have any hold over military tribunals.

It's still Helo's turn, so we start the check with Starbuck, and Helo finishes it. Everyone, you can send me COs before you're up if you wish.

Destiny: 2 cards
Starbuck:
Tigh:
Apollo:
Chief:
Zarek:
Helo:

Resent away, you artificial freak! I don't know what you did with Bill's real son but I'll see you all burn for ending the Adama line!

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

BSG

Well, frak. I thought it was BRIGGING as well as DE-BRIGGING.

Sorry, Pradmiral - I did try.

And it's not Helo - it's Apollo who's the other one. I know I did everything I could to get out of the brig (and I'm limited to playing one card per check, given the fact that I'm in the Brig).

EVERY OTHER CARD PLAYED was to hold me in the Brig.

Who else played cards?

Those two are your Cylons.

Helo may be constructed of pure whatever-ium, and radioactive, but he's not a CHROME TOASTER. (I don't think. Are you, Helo? Can I char some perfectly good bread in you?)

I believe the gist of the Pradmiral's complaint is not that Helo is a toaster (though apparently he finds their ideas intriguing and wishes to subscribe to their newsletter), but rather that he XO'd Chief Tyrol, allowing this current turn of events.

Yes, exactly that. Apollo and Tyrol are first in line for the old "Cylon out the airlock" game.

Helo is just a grunt in need of a beating.

Starbuck is our last hope. Imagine that. Edit: Oh crap Starbuck has one card. Card advantage is with the toasters.

While I'd like to take the time to point out to our dear (for the moment, anyway) Pradmiral that last I checked no one has failed Dr. Baltar's Cylon test, there was a noticable lack of resources and ability to allocate such among our good crew. It's a good thing the Chief and I are able to pick up the slack.
