So, are folks willing to help me escape from the brig?
BSG
Here's my thoughts at this point: Dee or Ellen is the remaining Cylon. Not because of anything they've done, but because both the Admiral and the President have had numerous chances to screw us over and haven't done so. (Or if they have, they've done it very subtly.)
Nothing against Dee (and I know being brigged for no good reason sucks) but I'm not sure I want to spend cards freeing someone who could be a Cylon.
That said, I can only help a little with the check anyway.
BSG
Here's a thought. You could XO me, Dee, and I'll hit up the Quorum. It may get you out, it may not, but even if we all try to spring you, you still might not get out of the brig. Hopefully it would get us something useful. And we can try to use an XO to get you out later, if necessary, depending on what else is going on what with the looming Agatron on the horizon.
It's an option.
BSG
I could also use my OPG to draw three purple and okay then into the check. Hopefully that would be enough to get me out.
BSG
That would be an interesting choice.
BSG
At worst, there's a 33% chance that Dee's a cylon.
I could only help a little to get you out, but the good news is, if you really are human we'll let you out when we get to Caprica.
BSG
Not that I particularly want to keep Dee brigged, but I wouldn't be able to help much with the check. Which I don't think I actually said in all my hypothetical pondering.
BSG
I'm thinking, unless we have an IC, two cylons opposing what little help has been offered means a waste of cards.
BSG
I don't know of any destination choice that doesn't cost fuel that gives us distance. Not saying there isn't one.
Sorry to interrupt the current discussion, but just as a point of interest, there are a few choices here. Ragnar Anchorage costs 0 Fuel. There's a new Pegasus Destination, Gas Cloud, that also costs 0 Fuel. Exodus adds a Gas Giant where no only do you lose 0 Fuel, you have the option to gain more. These are all 1 Distance destinations. There's also another destination, Misjump, that costs 0 Fuel - but it gives you 0 Distance too.
