Well, Admiral, Doc Cottle was kind enough to slip me a blood sample while he was treating you and it looks like we can't blame shoddy Cylon programing for some of your, er, quirks. Thanks to my incredible scientific knowledge (to go with my all-around brilliance) I've come to the conclusion that you're human after all.
BSG
Well, of course I'm human, Doctor. Could a mere machine display such effortless command of the Lambada -- the Forbidden Dance?
...Oh. That's how the detector works? Impressive. I have a newfound respect for science.
Ok, at this stage of the game, that's essentially a guarantee. The only reason Baltar would have to lie is if he were a Cylon too, and three Cylons would just be unheard of. It makes me reasonably confident about Baltar too. A Cylon may tell the truth about these things in order to appear more trustworthy (Apollo did it to great effect in game 1), but actually using his turn's action, and his OPG, just so everyone can be sure of one player? If Baltar is a Cylon, he knows anyone he checks will be human. Why let anyone else in on it? Make an accusation, stir things up, sure; but this is too beneficial for the human side.
Then there's his choice of target. It makes sense for a human to check the Admiral and make sure he can be trusted. It makes sense for a Cylon to cast suspicion his way for maximum disruption. It makes less sense for a Cylon to provide a guarantee to the other humans that their Admiral can be trusted, at his own expense.
Which means it's probably Helo or the Chief. Probably whichever one of them
doesn't XO me out of frakking Sickbay!
If you could be so kind.
BSG
Well, gee, when you put it that way, Helo was looking awfully suspicious when he remanded his CO's once he realized that they were going to be visible, another humanish action from Baltar.
If Baltar had said you were a Cylon, I would have thought that he was a Cylon. But since he said you're human, yeah, I agree with your assessment. You know, except for the part where you think I'm a Cylon.
I have to say, if it does turn out that Helo's the remaining Cylon, I am now fairly suspicious about who you're imaginary sleeping with to get all these imaginary children.

Chief! Get your imaginary mind out of the imaginary gutter! I had them as befits a man of my station, by finding them in the imaginary cabbage patch.
BSG
Maybe you should take a break from all these accusations and keep an eye on the food. Your next crisis is
Food Shortage!
Details to be sent via email.
BSG
This is all on you, Doc. (You get your Delusional Intuition first, of course. I find Purple befits one in authority, myself.) You'll know how cheaply you can discard. We are more than halfway there, and our Food is holding up well so far, so I'm comfortable either way. If you can save some Food cheaply, great; if not, c'est la vie.
BSG
Ack! Okay, I'll stop making imaginary allusions to imaginary peccadillos.
Neither of those are particularly lovely options, but I guess at this point in this journey, we get what we get. Up to the Pres, of course, since he bears the brunt of both sides of that penalty.
BSG
Drawing Purple sounds good.
Yeah, sorry, guys I can't really afford to ditch almost my whole hand. Like the Admiral says, Food is still in good shape, so despite painful memories of last game, I'm going to have to choose -2 Food.
BSG
Purple has been sent to the President.

I
move
to FTL Control and
XO Adama
with a G2. Hope you are fully recovered, sir, you're like a father to me, you know.
Tell me I might not be human, I'm human as they come, not hearing any music, not talking to invisible people, just muttering to myself, but
everybody
does that...
