Admiral, you can also post whether you wish to move anywhere (else).
Meanwhile, the fleet jumps! Blindly, randomly and
awesomely.
Two ships are left behind to cover your retreat:
Civvie H:
1 Population
Civvie I:
2 Population
However, their entirely involuntary sacrifice has bought you a sweet ride. Per the house rules for Cain, your jump lands you at the second Destination from the top of the deck, and it is:
Desolate Moon
3 Distance
You know what that means: Sleeper Phase! Crew of Galactica, please tune the tiny receivers embedded in your fillings to radio station TSTR, and see if you pick up anything more than static. New Loyalty cards going out.
BSG
Civvie I: 2 Population
Ouch!
3 Distance
Nice!
You know what that means: Sleeper Phase!
Time to throw Boomer in the Bri—DAMMIT.
BSG
Loyalty cards have been shuffled and dealt out. We will pause before revealing the Crisis, for two decisions:
1. Admiral Cain may choose to move if she wishes. Admiral, when you're ready, please post your decision.
2. Per Pegasus rules, Boomer (who has just received two new loyalty cards) immediately passes them off to the player of her choice. Boomer, when you're ready, please advise us of the lucky recipient.
BSG
You know who doesn't have enough Loyalty cards? President Baby-eater, that's who. Why stop at 3 when you can have five?
I cut off the corners just the way you like them. Enjoy!
BSG
So now I'm five times more loyal than you? Okay then.
On the assumption that Boomer will hit us with Cylons on her turn, Cain, I think Comms is a decent spot to sit in right now. That or Weapons Control.
BSG
I'd like to have moved to Weapons Control, thanks.
BSG
So now I'm five times more loyal than you? Okay then.
Yup! The question is, is all that loyalty in the same direction?
BSG
Some other interesting facts about the number five. Ants have five noses. The most common pattern for plants' leaves around the stem is fivefold symmetry (every leaf appears directly above the fifthmost leaf behind it). Starfish and other echinoderms start their life with bilateral symmetry, but develop pentameral radial symmatry as they get older.
So apparently Baltar's loyalty is a sea urchin or something. Meanwhile, that was a rough ride, wasn't it? Fuel, Food and Population are all now at half their starting value. Fortunately, Morale is still pretty high. I guess no one told them about all the missing Food and stuff.
Until now, anyway. Cain's Crisis is:
Low Supplies
Skill Check (7 YG)
You know the drill, let's hear it for interrupts (IC, SR, Rrrreckless). You can also send me COs for the check itself. Baltar starts, Cain finishes.
BSG
So now I'm five times more loyal than you? Okay then.
Yup! The question is, is all that loyalty in the same direction?
Uh, yes? Or else I'd be more four times more loyal than you and one time as unloyal? Which...doesn't make any sense.
Fortunately, Morale is still pretty high. I guess no one told them about all the missing Food and stuff.
Ouch! I've never seen a Crisis Card like that. That's just mean. At least we jumped before the Raiders activated.
I can only help a little with this check. Pass on interrupts.
BSG
pass on interrupts. I can help a lot with this check. (yay!)
