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

I assume the looking at Helo's hand is done in secret, but is the stolen card also secret? (Although obviously Helo would know what was stolen.)

Yep, it's just between Starbuck, Helo and his insurance company what he lost.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'll get you next time, and your little daggit, too!

I'll have you know that I have special accessories to protect my little daggit.

Chief, if I may make a suggestion, it would be best not to XO either myself or the President. While I'm reasonably confident that I've demonstrated my humanity, nonetheless, my turn is immediately after yours, and it's best not to risk that. I can't do much with an XO anyway.

I'd recommend against XOing the President too. I don't have any reason to suspect him more than anyone else; but if he is the other Cylon, he has the greatest potential to cause trouble. (And really, if you're not a Cylon, and I'm not a Cylon, that leaves him with a 50/50 chance of toasterhood.)

You could XO Helo. It'd get him out of Sickbay, and is the safest time to do so. However, once again he could be a Cylon, in which case we don't want to give him extra actions or get him out of Sickbay. It's your call.

Of course, if you're the Cylon, then why don't you just reveal already?! Get it over with, dammit! Enough with all the head games!!

So, y'know, your call.

Has anyone played Costume Quest on Xbox (you download it from Xbox). It's such a fun little game!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, well, with the skies blessedly empty and the ship without anything needing repair, I think a little exercise in trust is in good order.
 
I move to Weapons Control just for the heck of it and I XO-1 Helo.
 
Get your tail out of sickbay, man, do us some good. We will probably need your full card draw by the time we get `round. Be human!

BSG

Thanks, Chief, I'll try not to disappoint.

I was thinking I'd move to the Research Lab or back to Press. I'm not in a position to do much of anything else, I don't think.

BSG

I was thinking I might head to the Press Room on my turn. You're now our only pilot, so it's probably best to keep you on Galactica. Research Lab sounds good, we can always use more Tactics. Alternatively, I'll be vacating Command, so that's an option. (Either way, for your action this tun a scouting mission wouldn't go amiss. I'd suggest saving any SPs. With three raptors left and clear skies it's not a crucial roll yet.)
