What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I was so confused by your card draw. I have to get used to the fact that you're not Roslin anymore! Huh, none of these characters were in the last game.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wow! That is a fascinating lineup! Guess none of us were going for the usual suspects!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I declare it to be a crew made of awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out.

That just leaves Cally's draw and then we're ready to start.

I think Cally's drawing her gun.

Sorry, I thought I posted this morning as I was heading out the door but my post seems to be missing.

I'll take 1Y, 1G, 1P

Ok! Cards have gone out, and we are ready to rock! Anders is up first. Due to his weakness, he draws no cards on his first turn, leaving him with zero cards. He has left COs, including CO flavour text:

Anders casts a brooding gaze across the, well, the Armoury, so no one sees it except Boomer, but still, he's broody, he's gazing, he's on the bench. And since we're just getting started and he doesn't have an XO, or anything for that matter, he's going to try to ameliorate the effect of his weakness by starting with one card, at least. Starting with a whimper maybe, but surely there will be bangs before we go out.

Anders is promising bangs! Who does he think he is, Cally? Cain? (Baltar?) With that level of brooding, probably Angel. Only one thing for it, then:

Move to the Research Lab
See if Wesley Baltar has any Engineering to share (Draw 1 Blue)

Card going out. You'd think that the Research Lab would be a safe enough destination, wouldn't you? But somehow, Anders has got himself caught in Baltar's latest mad experiment!

Crisis: Rescue Mission (A)
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Cain, you have a choice - let the experiment go ahead and permit Baltar to turn this rookie pilot into a bizarre cyborg human-raptor hybrid superweapon! ...Or let Anders out of the Transmogrifier and get Doc Cottle to check that nasty bump on the back of his head. Baltar swears he has no idea how it got there. Maybe Anders just forgot how tall he was when entering the raptor (or strapping himself to the pilot's seat, or attaching the blindfold and ball gag). You know how clumsy these professional athletes can be.

Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Look, he VOLUNTEERED. He signed the consent form. I mean...he didn't actually read the form, but he signed it. I think he thought he was signing up to be on the Galactica Pyramid team, but that's not my fault.

As usual, neither option is good, but as President, I can help us improve our Morale. I can't do anything about Fuel or raptors. So I would vote for Option 1.
