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

Niiiiice. For my next trick, I move to Sector 4. What up, civvies? How you doing?

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

Not that well at all, I'm afraid. You see, it's a sad truth - not really touched on in the TV series, I'm sorry to say - that an essentially random selection of citizens of the colonies to survive the Cylons' nuclear conflagration must inevitably include some less than telegenic people. Tight camera angles and shirtless Apollo can only do so much to keep the audience from catching a glimpse. You weren't supposed to look at those civvies, Apollo! That's where we hid all the extras rejected by American programming conventions!

In other words, Gaeta's crisis is:

Unwelcome Faces
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Cripes, I think we have to go with Option 2 again. President Zarek, hope you can give some sort of inspirational speech in the future to boost our Morale.

everybody winds up in the Brig?

At least Chief is going to have a lot to do!

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

BSG

deciding between two evils sucks. It's still early, Morale is high and we've only been damaged once. But my hand is very small and Zarek can help with debrigging.

I've heard Apollo's advice. Anybody else have some input before I make my choice?

But it is still a hand. Like -t noted, the last game we played with Anders, we were short of cards for practically the entire game. With Chief losing his whole hand, we're not in a great position. As for debrigging, that will take more of our cards to deal with.

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

BSG

I wish I was suspicious of someone to make good use of the brigging! But I'm not.

I'm fine with either choice as long as I'm not the one in the brig. I've already got an Airlock to repair as soon as I get the cards...

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

BSG

I'm with Apollo, I think: losing still more cards and having 1/3 of the crew brigged sounds like a non-starter. And remember, we do have several ways of getting Morale back up.

what they said. Save the cards to debrig me.
