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

It also feels way too early to use a nuke to clear out Sector 3 (I would gladly get sent to Sickbay if we destroyed all those damn Raiders), but the fact that we could potentially build another one is kinda neat and may change how we use them.

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 COs o pass on SPs from everyone now. Tigh fires at the basestar in Sector 1:

Die roll = 1. Miss.

Admiral, you have a second action. What would you like to do?

I guess it's good I saved this for now, since it wouldn't have done any good on that one: I play SP-3.

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

BSG

I glare menacingly at the basestar.

Two misses in one turn! It's like the Cylons are mocking us.

We have an SP on this attack. Tigh fires:

Die roll: 6 + 2 = 8. Hit! Let's check the damage:
Disabled Hangar! The basestar in Sector 1 is no longer able to launch raiders.

Starbuck has left orders for her final action, to fire at another raider.

Die roll = 6. Hit!

You know what you guys need here? Some civil defence. Some very, very aggressive civil defence. Starbuck's crisis is:

Civilian Ship Nuked
President's Choice

President Foster, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Yay, but, balls, I overplanned!

Disabled Hangar! The basestar in Sector 1 is no longer able to launch raiders.

YES!!

Die roll = 6. Hit!

YES!!

Civilian Ship Nuked

...That doesn't sound good.

What's this 'like' they're mocking you? They're totally mocking you. In fact, they've invented a new dance, they call it the Starbuck dance. It mostly consists of twirling around the room with your hands over your eyes, maybe falling over a couple of times too.

As much as I'd prefer not to trade my last card for treachery, option 2 could be really tragic. I think I'd go with 1, if it were up to me.
