This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Yup. I think that's right. And he can lie about it, but then I'll say, LIIIESS, LIIEES! And everybody can figure out who they want to believe.

Okay, I have sent the loyalty card off to the President. Per the rules, "he may choose to keep this information to himself, share it with the group, or even lie about it."

I should be in Weapons Control now, not FTL.

Hah! I had just noticed that and was coming to fix it before anyone noticed. Foiled!

Too late! The Chief sees when things are out of place!

BSG

Okay, if I do get XO'd, I can either Consolidate Power and draw (Even out of my colors. Red? Purple?) to pad our card count, and then shoot at the basestar. Or I can shoot at it twice. What say you all?

I say shoot twice. I think.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, and that's what Baltar said too. I think I agree.

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

BSG

I have a question. How do the secrecy rules work here? I only send the loyalty card info to the President, right? And then he says what he wants to about it?

That is correct.

Now, my orders:

Move: None. I'm in Command!

For my action, I intend to give an XO to Chief Tyrol, but just to be on the safe side I'll wait for the President to confirm his loyalty. Chief, I'd suggest maybe shooting at the basestar first. You can decide based on the outcome whether you'd then like to fire again or Consolidate Power. (You can draw outside your skill set with a CP. I'd suggest Purple, followed by Yellow, as the most useful colours for us.)

Yeah, shoot first, decide whether to shoot again later.
