#Apollo plays one card

...Laura and crew this is a critical skill check that the Humans have to pass because morale is so low. Next turn is Helo turn. Helo will probably throw somebody his 2nd You are a Cylon card or activate his Super Crisis card. If he activates the Super Crisis card we can ignore that card and take our lumps. But this crisis is critical.

Great point Admiral and just to remind Galactica that Baltar has 3 loyalty cards that he's holding on to as well.

They didn't survive after the last food shortage.

Frak! This could either sink (if she's a Cylon) or leave us low on Political & Leadership cards for Helo's turn (if she's a human).

TIGH: I'll play 1 card

Starbuck plays 1 card

The President did say that this was critical.

Yes, but for who? (casts a squinting glance at the former President)

TIGH: If we pass this Witch Hunt I'll publicly apologize for declaring Marshall Law.

Kara - you were meant to play a few more Piloting skills to confuse the fleet.

During their investigations and allegations, the committee finds more than a few of Tigh's crew to be more than willing to stand up for the Admiral and testify on his behalf.

There are others though...others still uneasy about his Martial Law, about expending valuable weapons on seemingly fruitless quests, and odd bits of evidence here or there that paint some of his actions in a bad light.

In the end, they are unable to find any hard evidence of real wrongdoing.

FRAKKIN' A! Well played Rosalin!

I'm sorry Laura "Death and Tax" for declaring Marshall Law and thinking you were a Cylon.

There's no way I could make all those mistakes and be some kind of automaton.

Unfortunately, I feel we still have a long road to travel.
