Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I still remember the feeling of (synthetic) glee when he played that XO.

To be fair, we should mention it was my first time playing. And some dude keeps pushing the joys of XO's. Total newbie mistake.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oooh, someone was cruel, destiny or somebody!

Are we still good with the repair & XO plan? Baltar is one of the possibilities for having spiked that check (Starbuck and myself being the other players who drew blue.) And it's possible it was all destiny.

I think the risk is still relatively low because it is so early in the game, I don't think any putative Cylon would be about to be obvious so soon. It is a risk, of course. But if Baltar is human, we are probably going to need him out and about. I could also XO somebody else, like, have Starbuck attack or something.

I agree that the risk is relatively low at this point and the previous reasons to XO Baltar still hold. It's possible that a touching faith in my fellow man is a symptom of radiation poisoning, of course.

It's times like this IC are so important. Alas, they use a card, and with so few cards out there, its also expensive.

May the gods be with you.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Okay, I Move to FTL where for my Action, I play my B1 to repair it. (I'm supposed to tell which card, right?) Because I am such an awesome Maintenance Engineer, I then use my second Action to XO Baltar with my G2, with the intent of getting his floppy-haired self out of sickbay and getting some vipers after those Cylons! With the understanding, of course, that sudden and inevitable betrayal is always a possibility. But don't do it, Baltar! We need you! Ahem.

I think that's it, right?

You should post the exact card you are using to XO Baltar, otherwise we are good to go.

ETA: Thanks!
