Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Sorry guys- I can't help at all with this check.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Boomer, that is truly awesome shooting!

I can help a little, I play one card.

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

BSG

Helo is up next.

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

Can anyone else help at all? I can help a lot or none at all. There's unfortunately no middle ground for me on this check and I don't want to waste resources completely overshooting the goal.

Don't forget the destiny deck could hurt us and we have a cylon among us who might sabotage the check.

On the other hand- if we fail we only lose 1 morale.

I thought it was 50/50 for opening round. It was after sleeper that guarenteed both.

Yeah. There's no guarantee there's a Cylon prior to the Sleeper phase. Though it's certainly seemed otherwise the previous two games.

Yes, at the start of the game you could have no Cylons, one Cylon (as in game 1) or two Cylons (as in game 2). Actually, looking at that pattern, maybe you should expect to have three Cylons this game.

Roughly speaking, before the Sleeper phase you have about a 25% chance of having no Cylons, a 50% chance of having one Cylon and a 25% chance of having two Cylons.

Our wings are not tired

I can help a lot or a little with this check if I understand the cards correctly.

While we're waiting on the skill check (a reminder, you can send me COs if it's not yet your turn to play), this card also contains a raider activation, which means Apollo's going to get shot at. To keep that moving smoothly, I'd like to ask all the pilots to send me COs for EM interrupts. Boomer, if more than one person wants to play an EM, you decide who plays it, as it's your turn. Could you also send me an order of preference for Apollo, Helo and you? Thanks.
