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.

I will play a G3.

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

BSG

Now, let's not go jumping to any conclusions here. He may just want to avoid a random discard on his turn.

Well I've been watching that show hoarders and today was just the day to finally make a change. I hope everyone can see this as a big step forward for me.

That was beautiful, man. You're on a journey here, a journey of self-discovery.

Oh, just realised: that means it's my turn let's continue with the theme; I play a Red-2. I think that makes the current tally -7. Only 14 to go!

It feels good to get rid of the clutter, doesn't it?

Well, it feels good to have my suspicions confirmed anyway. There's a reason I didn't help you on your scouting missions.

So, humans, we outed the other cylon, should we consider the mission complete? Was that worth 2 morale? I think it might be. If you don't think so, we could probably get there depending on the Prez's cards. But 14?

Also, thank God it wasn't Chief. But the big problem now is turn order, with two cylons in a row. Obviously, if we could somehow neutralize Apollo on Chief's turn, that would be great.

ETA: Can Chief use his special ability on an open check? His character card implies the check is closed, but doesn't really specify. That would get us back to where we were before "they who shall not be named" decided to muck about.

Okay, the FAQ I found at Fantasy Flight Games says yes: [link]

Q: Can Chief Tyrol use his “Blind Devotion” ability on a skill check affected by an “Investigative Committee” Skill card?
A: Yes. He could even wait until all cards have been added(faceup) to the skill check and then decide to use his ability.

This seems like a great time to use it, unless we want to save it for a Super Crisis Card.

Now we understand why Drew is so sick - he's been cut off from the main cylon signal.
