BSG
Wow, that worked out surprisingly well. To your health, Starbuck.
BSG
Whew! That was about as good as it could have been, considering. Ok. So we've still got a sick Kat, but it's something of a problem because I can't XO her out of sickbay, and Starbuck's turn will directly precede hers.
But without an XO I'm somewhat limited in what I can do, so I'll try to get the most bang for my turn's buck.
I
play CS-5
to convert my movement phase to action. For my first action, I
activate the President's Office to draw 1 Quorum card.
I then pause to see if I want to draw an additional card or play one for the second half of my first action.
BSG
Card sent. When you're ready, please post whether you will play a Quorum card or draw another. If the former, you may draw two cards of any colour(s); you may also post your choice of draw. You may then post your second action.
BSG
Okay, Cally, you look like a woman who knows her business. I hereby
Assign you Chief of Staff.
I figure since you draw politics, you'd be in the best position to know when it would be helpful to make those count positive. That gives me 2 yellow, plus for my character ability, I
draw one purple and one red.
Then for my second action, I
activate it again, drawing another Quorum card and pausing.
BSG
Cards sent to the President, and she has left orders to finish up by playing
Food Rationing (draw 1 Purple and 1 Blue).
This Quorum card gives a die roll to increase Food, and may be modified by a Strategic Planning before the roll, and/or a Calcs after it. Everyone with those cards, please pass or play on interrupts.
BSG
What do we need to roll to get the Food?
Eta: eh, it doesn't matter.
SP-3
BSG
Admiral Tigh plays an SP on the die roll.
Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. Pass!
Food increases to 9.
Look at that, all that Food. That's some good rationing, right there. I'm sure the surplus is all in very capable and trustworthy hands. On an unrelated note, Tory's crisis is:
Food Hoarding in the Fleet
President's Choice
President Tory, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
Ah. Prescient of me, wasn't that? At least this was a President's choice and not a current player choice. I'm thinking we don't want to risk the civvie, right? Since we gained the food, this is really only a cumulative loss of 1 for that category.
