Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Tired of being called a toaster, Chief announces, "Screw you guys, I'm going home!" and offs himself (in some spectacular fashion I can't seem to imagine at the moment) right in front of the other prisoners.

I've never formally revealed myself to be a cylon before. Do I show you my loyalty cards or what?

I'm not sure what to feel. Chief was always a good guy. I mean. After they told me about these skinjobs, I suspected Chief was one. But. I dunno. I can't forget about the years of good.

Still, on the plus side at least now you don't have to keep whining and being apologetic about his girl. You were the meat filling in a toaster sandwich.

Also, when Tyrol offs himself, Tigh smirks and then shoots Apollo an expectant look.

You show one Cylon loyalty card (Chief's reveal power allowed him to reduce Morale by 1 - as he was in the Brig, this has no effect) and discard down to a maximum of three skill cards (Chief has only two left, so doesn't need to discard anything). Finally, you receive a Super Crisis card, which I'm sending to you now.

That concludes Apollo's turn. Chief Tyrol, your first turn as a toaster (out and proud!) is about to begin. You draw two skill cards of your choice from any set. Please post which colour(s) you would like to draw. Then, when you're ready please post your move and action.

BT, where does Tyrol start from? The resurrection ship?

That is correct, though he can move to any other Cylon location on his turn.
