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

OK, I'll use my PP-3 to protect Morale, then Activate the President's Office.

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

BSG

Quorum card sent. The Pradmiral may now draw another Quorum card, or play one from his hand. Pradmiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I'm so glad I get a chance to Authorise Brutal Force. Marines, go medieval on that Centurion.

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

BSG

Pass on interrupts! Way to use the PP to protect Morale, Pradmiral. Let's hope we jump!

Marines, go medieval on that Centurion.

You should probably specify which one.

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

BSG

pass on interrupts.

Sic 'em boys.

Sadly, due to a tragic misunderstanding, the Marines are later found composing courtly ballads to the Centurion. The attempts to engage it in a joust, while closer to the original intent, have equally disappointing results.

Meanwhile, I have passes on interrupts all round. Let's see just how brutal the Marines were.

Die roll = 6. No effect. At the last minute, the suggestion to take out one of the Centurions by "Ramming Cloud 9 into the nearest bulkhead" is nixed! The Population is saved!

Nonetheless, both the civilian populace and the military leadership are appalled to hear just how close they came to destroying a ship full of innocent civilians/scratching their favourite battlestar. Pradmiral Tigh, something has to be done about... um, Pradmiral Tigh. Huh? Your Crisis is:

Requested Resignation
Admiral's Choice

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

Those courtly ballads (along with this mead someone turned up) have moved me to yield the Presidency to myself. Way to go, self. Right back atcha, me.
