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.

If you can contribute something, I can get us to where a DE can help us. I don't have a DE, though.

ETA: It's a shame Starbuck couldn't help the little she previously offered. Probably would have pushed us past needing a DE.

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

ETA: It's a shame Starbuck couldn't help the little she previously offered. Probably would have pushed us past needing a DE.

True, though a DE from her would certainly make up for it. Anyway, let's finish this up:

Destiny: G1, R2
Helo: P5
Starbuck pass
Chief: Y1
Adama P1, P2
Baltar

Running tally: 9 - 3 = 6.

Twas the night after Colonial Day, when all through the ship
Not a creature was stirring, not even Sir Leaderhip.
The weights were all laid out in the gym with care,
In hopes that Karl Agathon soon would be there.

The pilots were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of cylons danced in their heads.
And Roslin in her ‘kerchief, and Tigh in his cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap.

When out in deep space there rose such a clatter,
Chief sprang from his cot to see what was the matter.
Away to the hangar deck he surely did dash
Tore open the airlock and saw a great flash.

The Desolate Moon shone like new-fallen snow
Giving lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to his wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature raptor, instilling great fear.

With a handsome old driver, who sort-of did glow
He knew in a moment it must be Helo.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Baltar! Now Starbuck! Now, Adama and Chief!
On Gaeta! On Cottle! and Zarek that thief!
To the top of the bridge! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

In short, Helo's back baby!

Howdy, Galactica, what needs doing?

Helo has now received his cards and is currently on the Hangar deck awaiting orders.

As your Admiral is currently on the dark side of the moon, he has requested I make the following announcement:

Baltar: Has the Quorum given you the capacity to deal with a known Cylon? (I'm specifically hoping for an Arrest Order.)

Helo: Are you in a position to support a brigging?

Intriguing questions! I could support a brigging, if that's what we need to do.

I'm also intrigued by our dear Admiral's earlier career advice - a professional athlete and veteran of the Caprican Resistance going into politics? It's so crazy it might just work. Much like our current President, no disrespect intended.

So, I could move to the Press Room and either Activate that or XO someone in the hopes that I will get a later opportunity grant that interview. Or....something else? Launching a viper seems pointless right at the moment.

How may I be of service?

I don't have much time right now, so here's the headline: Starbuck's a Cylon. Aside from not helping in the crucial Colonial Day check, she spiked the Witch Hunt check. Note:

In that check, there were 2 Yellow and 2 Blue cards played. Where did they come from? Helo and I don't draw those colours. Baltar played 1 card, and it could have been B/Y. However, Baltar started the game by getting his normal card draw, which includes 1 Green card. Over the Witch Hunt and Network Computers checks, he played all his cards. There were no Green cards in Network Computers, so he must have played his Green into Witch Hunt.

That leaves Destiny, the Chief and Starbuck. They played 4 cards between them - the exact number of Yellow and Blue cards. With no other sources, they only played Yellow and Blue.

But Starbuck doesn't draw Yellow. Therefore, the card she played must have been a Blue. And Blue was negative for that check. Starbuck spiked the check, and now she has to pay.

Helo, I like the idea of you moving to the Press Room. If Baltar has an Arrest Order, an XO to him will take care of the toaster at little cost. If not, an XO to either Baltar or the Chief to go activate the Admiral's Quarters should see us right. I can't do it since I'm too emotionally attached, because she was just like the son I never had!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Tigh's homemade moonshine and my own tears.
