Mr. CAG, do you care to add anything to the pot?

Nope. I have nothing to add.

Excellent! I have CO's from the rest

Activation: Raiders (No effect)

Jump Track: Advances! Woot, that leads to an autojump (thank the Gods! Finally clear the deck of all those.... oh wait. Wow. We went a whole jump cycle with no bogeys? How'd that happen? I gotta stack the deck better, dang it!)

I will send the top two destination deck cards to our Admiral.

BSG

Hi, I am back from my retreat, and Tigh has returned from his bender. Thanks all for being able to work with me via email, I really appreciate that.

And I bring some good news...

That, by popular demand, we have moved distance 3!

And some bad news...

That we achieved this distance by plowing through an asteroid field. We will lose 2 fuel and a civilian as one of our pilots fails to lead them through the asteroids. Tigh's going to have to have some harsh words with the CAG about this....

Anyway, I will leave it to our illustrious GM to draw and share what we lost along with the civvie ship.

I think this also pushes us to sleeper phase so I imagine the GM will also be sending us extra special mail. If yours opens up and automatically starts playing "All Along the Watchtower," beware...

BSG

As usual, the Admiral is a bit hung over, so he's only partially correct. That civilian ship? Yup, it must have been the vacation cruise liner. Tons of "passengers" on board, bitching about a thimble of water per day. That puppy FTL'd right into the path of a HUGE asteroid, and blew it to smithereens! As a result, you lose a ship, and -2 population resource in addition to the -2 fuel resource . But hey, the skies are clear. Oh wait, yes, the sleeper phase. You will notice one of your brethern is in the pokie. She was a bad camper! Ok, so her card says she goes there automatically. Here is the end of turn wrap up, then I gotta jet to work.

Huh, I wonder if anyone can hear some tap tap tapping. Or music.

BSG

Doesn't the Sympathizer automatically end up in the Brig as well, since we've hit the Sleeper phase with a Resource in the red? Or am I not remembering how the Sympathizer works?

All in all, I think we're in really good shape. Food is worrisome, especially since the food related Crisises all seem to be "Lose 2 food or Lose 1 food and have something else crappy happen." But all our other resources are in really good shape for the halfway point, I think.

BSG

Did you feel the burn on that jump, people? That was a jump and a half! Nice choice, Admiral! We'll be calling you Admiral Van Halen from now on. Admiral Kriss Kross, at least.

Doesn't the Sympathizer automatically end up in the Brig as well, since we've hit the Sleeper phase with a Resource in the red? Or am I not remembering how the Sympathizer works?

No, no, that's quite correct, it's just--

t flips loyalty card to reveal "You Are A Hottie Sympathiser"

So two strokes of good fortune here. First, I'm the Sympie. Ok, it's true, I'm a Cylon after all, but -- I'm a friendly Cylon! I can be like the ship's mascot or something! That'd be ok, wouldn't it? We can still be friends, right? ...Right?

Second stroke of luck is that this means I'm no more likely to be a (bad) Cylon as the rest of the crew. I mean, I get to look at my cards and from where I'm sitting I'm a lot less likely than the rest of you t looks suspiciously through bars - but of course I don't expect you to take it on faith.

Given me being human, that would mean that we have two Cylons currently running around and a quarter of the human team left somewhat ineffective. Thanks to my card draw, I have one huge drawback in here - I don't draw XOs. That means that in the normal course of events, the best I can usually do is to scout - and since I get a free Recon at the end of my turn, that's not as effective as it usually is.

For this reason, I'd like to make as much of an argument for my humanity as I can right now. Before this jump, with scouting missions and my Recon, I left no less than four jump icons on the top of the Crisis Deck. We've only had ten the whole game - 40% of our jump progress so far has been essentially under my control, and (as you can see) I've acted to propel us towards Kobol as fast as possible. A Cylon has no reason to do so - I could have buried those jumps without anyone being able to check up on me.

So I argue that there's clear evidence of my loyalties before the break. Having received the Sympathiser card, I've only one other card unaccounted for - which means there's only an 18% chance I could have drawn a Cylon card, and an 82% chance that you have a human in the Brig.

Anyway, I will (of course) not be trying to get myself out of here until the rest of you are comfortable with a free-range Boomer. That would just waste precious resources and take attention away from working out who the real threats are. I'll find ways to stay as useful as possible, and hopefully it won't take too long to give you guys reason to be confident in my loyalties. (Friendly Cylon! Really!)

The good news is, they've left me hooked up to the P.A. here, so I still get to talk to you all! Isn't that awesome?

And that is why I didn't post the sympathizer.

BSG

"You know, people who are innocent don't spend so much time yapping on about how innocent they are. You're in the brig for a reason, Cylon."

((please let me be clear the above is an in character roleplayey sort of comment and is not a player accusation. As we've only just hit sleeper phase, I have no idea who is or isn't a cylon.))
