    I believe PL1 should bite the vote, but I would also like a second place candidate in case of shenanigans. I have chosen PolloDiablo, Osvik voted for him for a position on day 0 and than later that day both changed their voted to RUD/Mr. D.

    Woah there, I think we need a little more planning on this one. I think the worst I can be accused of on day 0 was being a follower. I had votes out for myself, kin33, freeagent, RU, and Mr. D.

    A hell of a lot of other people voted for RU, too, and my vote for Mr. D was more a pity vote than anything, because his whole big campaign post was being overshadowed by other candidates. If you just go back over the records, you'll see that I tended to join on to whichever campaign had momentum at the time.

    I can't explain for osvik, but he was the only other person who voted for me at the beginning, so I could hardly call that a sign of a cylon conspiracy. Also, we're overlooking the fact that it would be retarded for the cylons to try to get someone in office on day 0 anyway, because then we would seer them and kill them.

    We're just running out of time, and we really need a better lead than someone's throwaway votes from that early in the game. You really don't have any better leads?

    Panics? Panic and fear are two different things.

    Panic is a sudden fear which dominates or replaces thinking

    Fear is an emotional response to tangible and realistic dangers. If you don't ever experience fear, you must not be human. WHAT SAY YOU CYLON

    Day 9: The Cloud of Lachesis

    battle3aq9.jpg

    "Medic!" someone shouted. The air was thick with smoke. Most of the electronics were failing; the DRADIS display flickered as explosions shook the Phallactica. The Cylon were hitting it hard, but the ship seemed to be holding up. Outside, the Viper squadrons were withdrawing back to their carriers. The fleet was almost ready to jump to safety.

    The Admiral had been unconscious for most of the battle. There had been an explosion inside the Phallactica after the Basestars started nuking it. A wave of fire had swept through the bridge, searing everything, sucking the oxygen out of the air. If a medic, Burnage, hadn't been so quick to drag MrBlarney to safety and patch him up, he'd surely have died. Now he was just badly scarred and burned, and would be in horrible pain once the injections wore off. But he lived. The medic himself hadn't been as lucky. He had rushed off to try and save Crono729, an engineer who had become trapped in a collapsed maintenance tunnel. Nobody saw either of them again.

    MrBlarney felt himself drifting off again. The medication they had given him was some powerful stuff. The last thing he heard was the familiar sound of the jump drive activating. Phallactica had survived. The fleet was safe.

    _____


    "Mister PolloDiablo, open the door. We have a search warrant."

    PolloDiablo did as he was told, letting the soldiers in to his luxyry apartment on the Olympic Carrier. They immediately handcuffed him to the door and began to search through his possessions, opening drawers, upturning carpets and mattresses.

    "What - what is the meaning of this?" PolloDiablo demanded. "What is going on?"

    "Do you know this man?" one of them asked, showing him a photo of PsychoLarry1.

    "No, I've never seen him. Look, this is ridiculous", he said, shaking his handcuffs. "Who is that guy and what does he have to do with this?"

    "He was murdered last night, just before the battle. Someone shot him eight times. We have reason to believe that he was an associate of yours."

    "What? No, no, you're mistaken. I've never seen him in my life. Am I... am I a suspect? You think I killed that guy?"

    "No, we think you worked together with him."

    "Worked tog- what are you talking about? Was he some kind of a criminal? Look, I'm a law-abiding citizen, a model citizen even, I would never associate with criminals and I've certainly never seen that-", he fell silent as he noticed another photo in the soldier's hand. "Oh, maybe I did meet him once. It's all coming back to me now..."

    "PsychoLarry1 was a Cylon spy, sir. And you are under arrest."

    PolloDiablo considered killing them all, but decided against it. What would be the point? There was nowhere to go.

    "Frak", he said.

    ___

    Gumpy watched the battle from his room aboard the Thera Sita. He had been assigned here to take care of the health of the refinery workers, which suited him fine. At least he wasn't getting blown up on the Phallactica.

    The Cylon were throwing everything they had at the Phallactica, but the old bucket was somehow able to withstand the damage while the rest of the fleet prepared to jump. Gumpy was not pleased. Things were becoming complicated. Complicated and dangerous. The plan was in jeopardy.

    He never saw the little device hidden under his desk. A little device with a time. A timer that steadily ticked towards zero.

    Two. Tick. One. Tick.

    Gumpy's desk exploded.

    _____

    MrBlarney continues as Admiral.

    Iamtheaznman continues as President.
