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

BSG

Sorry I was out all night. I spiked the check because I believe Apollo is a cylon. I know I'm not one so that means we have at least one running around and he's the only one whose behavior seems suspicious to me (when he said I was acting suspicious but he couldn't back up his accusations). I'm very sorry that you all can't see that but at least we are very close to winning. You'll let me out of the brig when we get there, right?

Illigitimi non carborundum

BSG Helo seems to only ever be able to "help a little," I've noticed.

My thoughts: the pass-the-skill-check option is so very, very tempting, but if that check fails we could well be screwed with the sudden boarding party. It would suck to be so close and yet so far.

Tough decision all around, though.

As usual for a jailbird I can only play the one card.

BSG

I can help a lot on this check.

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

Considering I only draw one out the three colors in the check, it's kind of tough to have an ample supply to contribute. And I brought us to the halfway point on the last check, at least until Boomer spiked the check.

Whether you suspect Apollo is a Cylon or not, Boomer--and I've yet to see him do anything suspicious--you forced the rest of us to spend additional cards into the check to keep him out of the brig, cards which could potentially be helping with this current check.

I hate the idea of dropping the jump meter when we're this close to Kobol. We'll go for Option 1. Hopefully the Cylons won't frak us too badly.

I'm sorry you feel I forced you to spend cards. I thought I made my intentions clear when I explained why I left that card on top.

And since the rest of us didn't think he was a Cylon, we were inclined to not get him thrown in the Brig. Especially since we now have a fully functional Armory again.

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 has chosen the skill check. Possible interrupts: IC. Everyone, please pass or play.

Again I apologize. I'm doing the best I can from this lonely, lonely cell.

This just in: Apollo plays an IC-3 on this check. All cards will be played open. In that spirit, Destiny has made a powerful contribution:

Destiny: P1, B5
Zarek:
Adama:
Boomer:
Apollo:
Helo:

Running tally: 6 - 0 = 6 (Fail).

President Zarek is next.
