Damn, and I was going to choose Adama! Heh.
Well, I'm still going to choose an Adama. We need a REAL pilot up in here, and maybe this version won't be burdened with the trauma of two former identities.

Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Another game of scrounging for repair cards. Please be human, Chief. Unless I'm a cylon in which case you should totally be a cylon too.

We were deficient in Y and B, and the best choice was...Baltar. And I wasn't doing THAT again! Cally was an option too, but I'm interested in actually playing the whole game with Apollo this time instead of a few turns. My very first game IRL was with Apollo, but now I know things!

Originally I was trying to decide between Adama and Roslin but I went with Helo for the piloting cards.

Let's hope for lots of exciting space battles!
Oh, I guess I have to choose whether I start in Sector 5 or Sector 6 too. Uh, whichever Sector has a Raider in it? I forget the initial attack setup.

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

Neither sector has a raider. Sector 6 is closest to the Cylon ships. Sector 5 is closest to the civvies.

Fleeing annihilation at the hands of humanity's children, the Colonial refugees arrived at the planet called "Earth" hoping to find a new home. Instead they found a world ruined by nuclear war, its ecosystem unable to support life more complex than a few mutated amphibians. Already strained by the disastrous reunion with the Battlestar Pegasus, the fleet's leadership turned on each other. The mutiny and coup coordinated by Gaeta and Zarek ended with the former Admiral and President set adrift with only those most personally loyal. Zarek retained the Presidency, but rapidly discovered that leading the system from the inside is very different from tearing it down from without. Gaeta, on the other hand, was informed that few would accept a mutineer as head of the fleet. Thus, partly because of his reputation as the voice of reason and partly because he had the good sense to be marooned elsewhere during the uprising, Karl Agathon became Fleet Admiral. And so, with some of their dearest friends abandoned, they lead the Fleet on, hoping clues found on Earth can lead them to the legendary home of the gods.......

That's no way to speak of your fellow crew members.

And this is why you attend work meetings. The suckiest jobs are always given to the person outside the room.

Not to mention that Admiral Adama apparently took all the wimmenz with him! Jeez, look at this sausage-fest.
