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

I was thinking I would wait in case Kat had a magical card that would make this check winnable, but I don't think that's possible. Option 2, please.

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

BSG

Yeah- I didn't have any magic cards.

Hard to slip in a homemade card worth 14 Green when we are playing online.

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

BSG

Die roll it is. Everyone passes on interrupts;

Die roll: 2. Fail. Sparky there gets a travelling companion.

Finally, the raiders remember that there's a reason they're out there, and advance towards the civilians. That concludes Tigh's turn. Tory has put in COs for her card draw, but I need a clarification on them before continuing. Tory, when you're ready, please post or send me your choice of single card draw.

I just wanted to share this. I'm following a BSG game on boardgamegeek, where Cally and Ellen are currently trading accusations. It's taken an interesting turn, as indicated by this quote from Cally:

I can't be a rainbow princess if my horsey smells like the grave!

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

...I don't even know what that means.

Ok, Tory has checked in. She draws Yellow. She has also left COs:

Move to Cylon Fleet
Activate heavy raiders.

The heavy raider in Sector 5 lands a boarding party; the two Centurions already on board thoughtfully move up one space to accommodate it.

That concludes Tory's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 2 Yellow as his optional draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Well, looks like our game finally has a time limit.

Let's see how long we can survive! Kat, I hope you draw a really good card to help get you out of the brig, because I am using this Preventative Policy-4 to keep us from losing Morale. Of course, with my luck, the Crisis won't even hit Morale.

Then I play Maximum Firepower-4 and go to town on these 4 Raiders.
