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

Tally: 26 - 1 = 25. Pass! The tense moment is defused after Racetrack proposes that since Basestars take three shots to destroy, they should count triple.

The launch activation has no effect, and there is no jump icon. That concludes Baltar's turn. I'm sending out Boomer's cards. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

Racetrack proposes that since Basestars take three shots to destroy, they should count triple.

Very well. I'm keeping the weapons powered up just in case y'all forget who's Admiral.

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

Adding +0 to the check.

Geez! Well, my cards were a waste, but it's certainly annoying that Destiny didn't help AT ALL.

Anders: Weapons Control; 1 card
Cain: Pegasus CIC; 3 cards
Baltar: President's Office; 3 cards
Boomer: Armoury; 1 card
Cally: Hangar Deck; 2 cards

Hey, Boomer, don't draw a Skill Check. That's an order from your President.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

You want me to scout the crisis deck? I could do that. I was thinking of getting myself a viper and going to protect those helpless civilians.

BSG

You get to Scout every turn because you're Boomer. Getting in a Viper would be good just in case we're ambushed before we have to leave.

BSG

You don't need to Scout; you always get to choose from two.

No, that's Roslin. Boomer draws a Crisis Card as normal; she gets to scout the next Crisis Card for free after resolving her own Crisis.

BSG

Ah! Okay, I was confused about her ability. Well, I think getting in a Viper is still pretty good; I'm just worried about our ability to pass another skill check right now.

I do the scouting for Calli (Hi Calli! I got your back, girlfriend. Totally no romantic jealousy nonsense going on), no telling what I might draw.

But I am first and foremost a pilot, so I will move to the Hangar Deck and launch into Sector 5 and move to Sector 4.

Hi civilians!

"Hi Boomer! Are you here to rescue us? We, uh... Got stuck up a tree. A space tree. Or something."

Boomer's Crisis is:

Rescue the Fleet
Admiral's Choice

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