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

I'll spend my Purple 2 to scout the top card of the crisis deck.

The scouting die roll may be modified by an SP interrupt. Everyone, please pass or play.

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

I should have learned my lesson with Baltar. Just because you have an extra card everyone assumes you're a cylon. I didn't even think about it. I just wanted to be a pilot and I knew we needed someone who drew blue cards.

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

I had a blast playing Boomer. Wasn't easy. But it was easier as the Cylons made themselves known a LOT earlier. This game has been very close to vest.

I have passes on interrupts from everyone.

Die roll: 1. Fail. You are now down to one raptor.

Boomer will get another bite of that cherry, however, courtesy of her Recon. But aside from that, this concludes her turn. As she's in the Brig, she draws no Crisis. Apollo, what would you like for your card draw this turn?

AAAH. Laga, I always miss your turns. I checked like 3 times yesterday and there were no updates, and this morning.... *headdesk*

I was going to lower the brig difficulty for you. It would at least give you a fighting chance.

I realize there's a risk but I figure if you were the Cylon you'd've found a way to screw us over by now.

Saying this here since Laga I think tends to post when I'm asleep: next time Boomer's turn comes up, I will lower the brig difficulty.

And killing off all the Raptors isn't screwing us slowly? IJS.

My draw will be one of each Yellow and Green.

MOVE
Armory
ACTION
I play my Yellow 1 to consolidate power, and draw 2 Blues, and hope to draw a repair.

Apollo has been sent his cards, including the proceeds of his Consolidate Power. Administrative note: Apollo's draw has exhausted the Piloting deck. I've reshuffled the discards (of which there were five).

Meanwhile, apparently someone's found all that consolidation of power in the hands (I quite seriously managed to type that 'nads' on my first attempt) of a pilot has attracted suspicion. Your crisis is:

Cylon Accusation Skill Check (10 YGP)

Possible interrupts are Investigative Committee and Scientific Research. Everyone, please pass or play.
