I'm gonna recommend you don't XO Helo. He came back wrong. And now that he knows that I know, who knows what he might do? We need to get him brigged or at least de-Admiralized before his next turn or our next jump, whichever comes first.
You could XO someone trustworthy to get over to the Admiral's Quarters and remain positioned to activate the CIC later.
BSG
oh that is worrisome. So far the only person I've even vaguely suspected of being metal on the inside was Ellen... or was that you, Madame President, who chose to fire on a raider, instead of a basestar, from Weapons Control?
BSG
That was, indeed, Ellen.
Don't forget, Admiral Toaster chose the destination that immediately saddled us with Scar. I guess his fear of discovery kept him on our side whenever we were watching, but we can hardly count on that any longer.
BSG
What the frak? I'm more than a bit miffed that my loyalty is being questioned right after I destroyed Scar and damaged a basestar. I've been following your advice, Madame President. Why are you breeding mistrust like this? You know I'm human. If we have any Cylons on board, it's not me. We need to work together. I'm in Weapons Control and can fire on the basestar twice. That was the plan.
Don't forget, Admiral Toaster chose the destination that immediately saddled us with Scar.
I thought one wily Raider was less dangerous than a basestar with Raiders. And it was; I took him out easily.
BSG
oh man I'm so confused. At this point I'm hoping I don't draw an xo.
BSG
Yes, you've put up an impeccable facade, but now that I know the truth I can't stand idly by and hope you keep pretending to be human.
BSG
We only have your word on this, Madame President. I'm not pretending.
BSG
see, this is why this game is so frustrating fun. At this point we know for sure one of two people is a cylon, either the President or the Admiral. I could seize the admiralty but as I really have no clue I don't think that's a good idea at this turn. Also it would be a bad idea to xo someone who has a 50/50 chance of being a cylon and as xo-ing someone else would have the same effect as firing myself, I'm going to
play
SP-3 and
blast that basestar!
(iow, I'm activating CIC)
BSG
Great. Just great. President "I drink the crazyjuice" is accusing Admiral Absent of being made of METAL?
SAUL! PUT DOWN THAT BOTTLE AND...gods.
Don't make me march over there, kids, and do something about y'all. Cuz I can: I've kept Saul in line for decades. You're all creampuffs in comparison.
BSG
I'd be half tempted to brig both of them until we can sort all of this out.
