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

BSG

Well, I wouldn't mind brigging someone and keeping Morale, seeing as how I get to decide who gets brigged.

Just to be clear, if you pass the check, the Admiral may choose to brig someone but is not obliged to. (He may also, if he wishes, choose to brig himself. It's what they least expect!)

I can help with this check.

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

BSG

But do you think we should do it?

We do have a lot of Morale right now, so we could afford to just toss it away. Failing it will cost us the cards we play plus those in the Admiral's hand, and we will still lose the Morale.

I have my suspicions about who we could brig, but they are vague enough that I'm not ready to act on them.

I guess that means that I'm in favor of Option 2.

Yeah, this is where I'm at too. And without a clear target, I'm afraid to hand the Admiral the option of brigging someone human, even accidentally.

I also realized that even if Destiny is the right color, it could still be 0-value, so perhaps I can't trust Destiny as much as I'd hoped.

I was waiting to hear from Tory, but with Kat and Cally in favor of Option 2, I'm going to choose Option 2 so we can move along.

Starbuck chooses option 2; Morale falls by 1. Finally, the jump track advances.

That concludes Starbuck's turn. Kat starts her turn in Sickbay, and therefore draws only one card. Kat, please post which colour you would like.

Menawhile, for shame. This crew has been woefully remiss. I am hearing many tales from people about suspicions they may or may not have. But are you sharing them with the GM? No. No you are not. Does that sound right to you?

If you do suspect any of the other players, I would be very interested to hear about it. Then, at the end of the game, we can see how well players ferretted out others' suspicious activity, or hid their own.

YES I AM.

Or suspected perfectly innocent humans!

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

BSG

Give me an XO please. (or at least a green card) I'm moving to the research lab.
