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

BSG

Can your ass fire a nuke? I mean, if it can, then damn! That's an ASS!

Yes, yes it can.

Then point that ass at some civvies. They are really slowing us down and keeping us from getting to our destination!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Yeah, I dunno why we're carrying all that extraneous baggage around anyway. It's not like they're useful for anything.

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

BSG

Hey, look at that! I do have COs from everyone. Here's the play:

Destiny: 2 cards
Kat: 0 cards
Cally: 0 cards
Tigh: 0 cards
Tory: 1 card
Chief: 2 cards

Cards:

Consolidate Power 1
At Any Cost 3
Declare Emergency 4
Strategic Planning 3
Full Throttle 1

Tally: 8 - 4 = 4. Fail. The Chief's fate is down to the die roll! Does anyone want to play an SP? Yes, the Pradmiral plays an SP-3.

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Sorry, Chief. The roll just fails. Chief Tyrol discards his 2 remaining cards:

Red Tape 0
Red Tape 0

Clearly the human cause is crippled. But! By CO, and to save the day, all-round Caprican hero and devil-may-care flying fool, Lee "Apollo" Adama, appears in Sector 6!

Vale Chief. He saved Pegasus, but ultimately, couldn't save himself. The heavy raider takes advantage of the commotion to steal 5th base. Um. Move to Sector 5. You know what I mean. Finally, the jump track advances.

That concludes Chief's Apollo's turn. Ka's cards are going out. I have COs from Kat; we'll enact them after the end-of-turn summary.

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

BSG

Le sigh. I tried. At least Tigh and I were able to repair most of what needed repairing.

This death is less traumatic, and I don't imagine I'll be playing Apollo for very long anyway. Hope you can give a REALLY inspirational speech, Pradmiral.

BSG

By CO, Kat's orders are:

Move: None
Action: Play Executive Order 1 on Tigh.
Pradmiral Tigh, you have received an XO. You may move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Administrative note: Kat's card draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
