BSG

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!

BSG

Wheee! These ruby slippers that the good Bomer of the North gave me relay work! In your face Wicked Boomer of the West.

Howdy, Galactica, what needs doing?

BSG

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?

BSG

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?

BSG

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.

BSG

In short, Helo's back baby!

t golf clap

On Gaeta! On Cottle! and Zarek that thief!

Wait, what? Who's on Gaeta? This isn't the Battlestar Knocking-Shop, people! Let's have a little decorum!

BSG

I'm sorry, it's just been a really crazy weekend. I'm not a cylon, I promise. When I saw someone said they could assure we passed the check I made a snap decision that my cards could be better saved for future use. I swear I'll be able to pay more attention to the game after tomorrow.

BSG

Well, I will move to the Press Room but wait on my action 'til I get some input from the Chief and the Pres.

Very sensible. You know, Helo, you're like the son I never had.

By the way, when you move between ships (in this case, from Galactica to Colonial One), it costs one skill card (of your choice). Be sure to leave yourself an XO in hand.
