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

So if I'm looking at the cards correctly we had one player other than Boomer spike the check.

The Treachery had to come from Boomer because none of us have a Treachery card, but the other negative card is Leadership, and we all draw Leadership. I have a Cylon Detector but don't know who to detect. I suppose I have a one in three chance of getting it right if I just pick one of you at random.

Using the Cylon Fleet option in Pegasus gives you nukes that can destroy Colonial ships too.

How's that? Cylons don't get nukes.

That's enough dithering. I move to Command and launch a nuke into Sector 3.

Cylons get nuked!

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

I wish I had an SP. Anyone?

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

BSG

No, the Admiral's nukes have a chance of destroying civilian ships. Though Cylons can get nukes, specifically "Inbound Nukes".

Anyway, I have COs and everyone passes on SPs. The Admiral is undaunted and fires anyway!

Die roll = 8! Admirals don't need no steenkin' SPs! Basestar and 3 raiders are destroyed, and Christmas is saved!

However! Firing a nuke into a sector with a civilian ship sees Cain facing charges of reckless endangerment. Her cries of "No, they never hit civvies! See, I rolled an 8!" go unheeded as someone, somewhere, declares:

Code Blue
Current Player's Choice

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

Edit: sorry Anders, I jumped the gun there. Your orders did come in before I rolled, so I'll apply your SP to the nukage. Result becomes 10, which still visits fiery destruction upon the Cylons.

But I'm so happy, I just want to share my joy! Makes me feel like singing. Don't you hear that music?

If I go with the skill check I can only help a little. I'll pause for input.
