It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

My Pradmiral says we humans don't have to play anything, so I'll save my cards.

Helo plays NO cards.

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

Tigh and Apollo have left COs: Play no cards. The final tally is -3. Apollo remaind embriggened. He therefore draws no Crisis card, and this concludes his turn.

Chief Tyrol, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG

All these cylon accusations are unfounded! I'm going to speak directly to the press.

I discard a blue 2 and move to the Press Room on Colonial One where I draw 2 Yellow Skill Cards.

And may I just say thanks to Apollo for ensuring that Team Human didn't have to waste any cards on keeping his sorry cylon ass in the slam.

Chief Tyrol has been sent his card draw. But the Crisis is a gift for everyone. Did Chief's press conference contain a hidden message for someone?

Prisoner Revolt
Skill Check

I'm calling for interrupts. Anyone with an Investigative Committee or Scientific Research, please pass or play.

Damn. With a title like that I was hoping for something that helped those of us in the brig, but -1 population? No, that will not stand.

Scientific Research would be useful to defuse Tyrol.

It certainly will. Hey, Tyrol just drew some Blue cards. Maybe he has one he'd like to play.
