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

BSG

Starbuck, wracked with guilt, plays an SP.

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail. This is out of range to be helped by a Calculations.

How could the people fail to be inspired by Tory's stirring oratory? Maybe it's because they're too hungry. Hard to be inspired on an empty stomach. Cally's crisis is:

Food Shortage
President's Choice

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

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

BSG

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail.

FRAK. I hate when an SP doesn't help. I want to take it back!

Food Shortage

Geez, I'm not sure we want to take our Food down to 5. That's a lot of cards to discard to save 1 Food, though.

That'll be the case most of the time, unfortunately. The SP had a 1 in 4 chance of affecting that roll (if I rolled a 4 or 5).

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

BSG

They're both over the hand limit so they'd be discarding some anyway. So it's not as much of a penalty as it might be.

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

BSG

ouch. ouch ouch ouch. Yeah, I think option 2 is the lesser of two ouchies.

Oh, good point. Then, yeah, sounds like a plan.

I can afford the card loss, but I`d like to hear from Cally.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

Yes, I can afford the card loss.

BSG

I have orders: Tory chooses Option 2. Food falls to 6; Tory discards:

Consolidate Power 2
Launch Scout 1

Cally discards:

Consolidate Power 1
Major Victory 1
By Your Command 1

Finally, the jump track advances by 1. That concludes Cally's turn; Tigh's cards are going out. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
