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

BSG

One complication: you can't play both a CS and an XO in one turn, so your orders aren't legal. You can use a Full Throttle in conjunction with an XO.

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

BSG

Don't talk to me about LEGAL! I can do whatever I want! The situation is still critical, and I'm tackling this full-throttle by playing FT-2 and remaining in Sector 3 and firing on a Raider.

Then we'll get to my other 2 actions.

Die roll = 2. Miss.

At least you still have two actions, because you're just that good.

Frak!

Well, now I play XO-2 on Tigh to fire on some frakking basestars.

Admiral Tigh, apparently Starbuck thinks she can boss you around. Brig her! You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

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

BSG

Hm, the mechanics of Starbuck's maneuvering have me mildly confused. Fortunately, that is a state I am used to functioning in so I will have another drink and forge on to fire on the basestar in Sector 1.

Pass on interrupts.

I don't have either of the cards that let me attack the crap out of 7 Raiders, so I feel this is a better use of getting extra actions than just firing three times individually. I've already missed once, after all.

Pass on interrupts.

It's the Full Throttle without moving, that's just weird. You're the hotshot pilot, though.

No, it's totally weird, and I wanted to save that for when I could actually use it to move. I was hoping the CS/XO combo was legal, but apparently not. So I used the FT to get one extra shot at a Raider, which I blew. Too much pressure, alas. In any case, this is the Sector I'm probably stuck in for the foreseeable future anyway. Looooot of Raiders in this Sector.

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

BSG

I wish there was a way you and me could swap sectors, Starbuck. I've half a mind to crash this bird into a basestar.
