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

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.

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

I'd like to have moved to Weapons Control, thanks.

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

BSG

Yup! The question is, is all that loyalty in the same direction?

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

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.

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.

Hurrah! That's a nice change, eh? We were getting Purple-heavy checks for a while. Too bad my cards aren't too great, even though the colors are finally swinging my way.

It's hard to write COs when I'm last. Can anyone play IC?

In the absence of an Investigative Committee, what number do we need to aim for?

If we figure in Boomer's negative play and the fickle finger of Destiny, I'd say...13?
