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.

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.

Looks like you made the right move saving your card, Kat. Wouldn't have made a difference. Hope you get a chance to use it.

Tigh, can you nuke Cally? That would be cool.

Well I guess this was simpler than getting a divorce from the chief.

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

BSG

All right, time for the nuclear option. I suppose I am technically nuking the basestar in Sector 4, but I would like to take out everything there, of course. Kat, if you have an SP that would be swell.

Eta: Way to get out there and be useful, Apollo, and on your first day

It's nuke time! The roll may be modified by an SP and/or Calcs. Everyone, please pass or play on the SP, and send me COs on Calcs.
