I do like those crackers.
We'll see, Baby-eater.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

What's a little baby-eating between newly sworn enemies?

(Hey, guys, sorry, I just now got home from work! Long ass day.)
And it's bad news, I'm afraid. I cannot help; because I converted most of my hand to piloting (which turns out to be good for the future since the other pilot appears to be a treasonous treasony traitor) I don't have the relevant colors. So it's bad for now.
So that may change your CO's. And I'm sorry the delay caused a waste of your AAC.
I play no cards.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
BSG
I have orders from everyone else. Let's see how this works out:
Destiny:
2 cards
Anders:
0 cards
Cain:
0 cards
Baltar:
0 cards
Boomer:
0 cards
Cally:
3 cards
Look at that, Boomer heeded Baltar's cowardly, snivelling pleas. He ate a baby, wouldn't you listen to him? Cards played:
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 4
Scientific Research 3
Scientific Research 5
God's Plan 2
Tally: 16 - 0 = 16. Pass! Cally's Herculean efforts manage to track down the culprit (Priestess Elosha, apparently. Who knew?), with no fallout except that exposure to the Priestess' "chamalla brownies" have left Cally with a monster case of the munchies. You lose 1 Food.
Next, the undamaged basestar launches a heavy raider. News of the chamalla brownies has spread, it seems. Finally, the jump prep advances by 1. That concludes Cally's turn. I'm sending Anders' cards out now. Mr Anders, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Anders' card draw has exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Wow, nice move, Cally! And yet again, we managed to overshoot by a lot, damn. Who would have guessed that? Looks like Boomer figured she didn't stand a chance against you. And then Destiny was positive after all. Sheesh!
And then we still lose Food anyway, even though we've protected our Morale and Fuel. Our victory doesn't feel so victorious.
Anders, get out there and start shooting! You're our only hope!
Cally: Research Lab; 1 card
Preeeetty sure she's not in my lab. I would know. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Okay, I didn't draw an XO. I'm going to operate under the assumption that pilots gotta fly.
I move to the Hangar Deck and I launch myself into Sector 5 making a sort of ululating sound as I go, whereupon I play Max Firepower 3 to blast away at the foe 4 times. Die, suckas!

Samuel T Anders takes the fight to the Cylons, complete with 'pew pew' sound effects!
Attack 1: 7. Hit!
Attack 2: 3. Hit!
Attack 3: 1. Miss.
Attack 4: 3. Hit!
Three raiders have been shot down, one of them quite possibly in the nuts. Kind of a shame you don't have more of an audience for this, don't you think? I think ew should arrange an audience. Anders' Crisis is:
Surrounded
Cylon Attack
The good news is, the extra basestar doesn't get placed, as you already have two on the board. The bad news is, they start the festivities by shooting at you.
Basestar 1: 5. Hit!
Basestar 2: 4. Hit!
As current player, Mr Anders chooses which ship gets hit. Anders, did they hit Galactica, Pegasus or one of each?
While you decide that, a bunch of ships get added to the board. Finally, as current player, Anders must now discard 3 cards. When you're ready, please post your discards.
That will conclude Anders' turn. Cain is up next. Admiral Cain, would you like to draw Leadership or Tactics for your optional draw?
