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

BSG

Well, the Quorum is bloody useless, Tory is vindicated on that score.

Damn, I was hoping there'd be something good in there to use. Still think she's a Cylon, though.

I'll take my second action to Scout for Fuel-6

Oh, I'm glad you saved that. Unfortunately, I can't help. Pass on interrupts.

Oh crap. Now it's my turn and I can't work the research lab or I end up in sickbay. I wish I'd thought to lobby for that XO.

Yeah, we're not really in good shape with repairs, but I couldn't risk it, not after the last game's blunder. I'm hoping you can draw some cards that help us brig Cally.

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

BSG

We have passes on SPs from all players. Let's see how the scouting mission goes:

Die roll: 7. Pass! Fuel increases by 1.

Perhaps you were scouting for the wrong thing, though. Starbuck's Crisis is:

Food Shortage
President's Choice

Pradmiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Note, by the way, that this crisis has a jump icon, which means that the fleet is about to jump.

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

BSG

Yay, jump!

Starbuck, can you handle the discard to save the Food?

Awesome!

Note, by the way, that this crisis has a jump icon, which means that the fleet is about to jump.

We managed an entire jump cycle without being attacked! Which means the next cycle is going to be a BITCH.

Starbuck, can you handle the discard to save the Food?

I can indeed.

Sweet. Option 2 it is.

I discard Trust Instincts-0

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

BSG

After last game we deserved those empty skies. Rats, I just jinxed it didn't I?

Let's hope not. She didn't mean it Lords of Kobol!

It may help and it may hurt, eh?

I discard LS-1, LS-1, Protect the Fleet-0.

Take us somewhere far, Admiral. We need to get to Kobol as quickly as possible.

Also, starting Sunday afternoon, I'm going to be offline until Wednesday afternoon, and then I'll be offline again from Thursday evening to the next Sunday afternoon. So I'd like to ask that we pause the game for a week starting this weekend. We can probably make it through Kat's turn before I go.

In addition to the discards, the fleet loses 1 Food. Destinations have been sent out. Pradmiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.
