I now have passes on interrupts from everyone, so let's start the check. I have COs from Adama, so we're up to Boomer. A reminder, as Boomer is in the Brig she is limited to a maximum of one card into the check.

Destiny: 2 cards
Adama: 2 cards
Boomer: (limit 1 card)
Apollo:
Helo:
Zarek:

Sorry I must have nodded off. I play one card.

Will it be enough to save the zombie inhabitants of the Olympic Carrier? Results:

Yellow 1
Yellow 3

Green 1

Green 5
Red 1

Red 4
Purple 2

Hey, look at that! They're not zombies after all, they've just been watching a 48-hour 7th Heaven marathon.

Tally: 30 - 2 = 28. Pass, a lot - no effect.

Finally, the jump prep advances by 1. That concludes Zarek's turn. Admiral Adama, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Okay, who do we have that can do some repair work? Is it only Boomer who is now in the Brig? Do we dare free the possible toaster from the Brig?

BSG

I am the only player who draws blue cards but I only draw one at a time and at the moment I don't have any. You can draw blue in the Research lab which is not to say you shouldn't also spring me. I swear I'm not a cylon.

Are there definitely two toasters or could we just have one? I noticed that at most, one player spiked that check.

Are there definitely two toasters or could we just have one? I noticed that at most, one player spiked that check.

Every player now has at least two Loyalty cards. There's roughly a 1 in 9 chance (a bit higher with Boomer in the game - 7 in 55, to be precise) that both Cylon cards were dealt to the same player. (After revealing, a Cylon may pass off their unrevealed Loyalty cards by activating the Resurrection Ship, as long as the Fleet hasn't reached 7 Distance yet. If one player has both cards, they could effectively choose who else is on their team.)

Everybody draws purple so at this point the cylon could still be anybody.

BSG

Yikes. I guess I shouldn't have bothered tossing one of my two remaining cards into that check.

As for springing Boomer, on one hand she's got the biggest chance of being a Cylon and spending cards to get her out on the off chance she's not seems really risky, barring more information.

On the other hand, anyone else trying to repair the ship is going to take twice as long, as they're going to have to spend turns to draw blue cards in addition to spending turns to repair the locations.

Though in addition to the Science Lab, Zarek or Apollo could spend a card on Consolodate Power and draw 2 blue. But that still takes a turn.

So wait, what are our options for getting blue cards? Is this something I can do on my turn? Or is it something I can XO someone on?
