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!

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.

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 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.)

I wish I could scout. Right, then, I move to the Research Lab and draw purple.

Helo got his purple card and it was beautiful.

Your crisis is less so. In a fitting tribute to the current paranoia, it's Guilt by Collusion (9GP). Details to be sent shortly.

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.

BSG

I hate to take another morale hit, but we may want to tank this one. Otherwise we're spending cards to put someone in the brig so we can then spend cards to get them back out. (Unless we decide they're a Cylon and want to leave them there.)

I sadly don't have any "Get Out of Jail Free" cards, or whatever the Quorum equivalent is, at the moment.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG
 
Ack! I have the paranoia at this stage, but not the evidence. The only one who`s not played in favor of Team Human since the sleeper phase kicked in is Baltar but that`s only because he hasn`t had a chance to, and the other two of you could still have been playing it close to the chest.
 
And yet, can we afford yet another morale hit? We almost certainly have the cards to pass this if we want to, but do we want to? Could we come to informed choice as to who should be brigged at this point?

BSG

Well, Chief's gonna have to discard if he doesn't play into the check. So there's a couple of free cards. Is the brigging mandatory if we pass?

Eta: and maybe we'll learn something in the course of the check. Could happen.

BSG

We're not obliged to brig someone if we pass, this one's optional; we can pass it just to avoid the Morale loss. (There is a card where you have to brig someone if you fail.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG
 
Oh, ok, that`s good. So, yeah, I have to discard anyway, and I can help a good bit on this check. So we should at least go for it with me.
 
No interrupts from me, though.
