re-watching BSG. Boy is this series really good. I'm up to the episode where my character shows up. I forgot just how much happens in season 1. The problem with having BSG streaming on netflix, you can sit up all night watching back to back episodes.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Soooo, is my help needed on this check?

If you can spare a single low card, I'd say put it in. I'd hate to come up to 6 and miss after all this.

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

Yeah, if you can spare a low card, play it to be safe. Helo wants to save his cards, but if you and Zarek play, we should be good. It would definitely suck to come up short.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
BSG
Apollo and Gaeta have each played one card. Zarek is up next. I have COs from Helo too.

I have orders from the remaining players. Full play:
Destiny:
2 cards
Apollo:
1 card
Chief:
0 cards
Anders:
0 cards
Gaeta:
1 card
Zarek:
1 card
Helo:
0 cards
Cards:
Consolidate Power 2
Preventative Policy 3
Investigative Committee 5
Tally: 10 - 0 = 10. Pass! Supplies are down, but the fleet's spirits are up. Why? Given that you passed this check solely on Politics, I'm guessing because no one bothered to tell them.
It may be harder to keep the battle under wraps, as the raiders open fire:
Raider 1: 8. Viper destroyed!
But Helo comes to the rescue with an EM-2:
Raider 1a: 1. Miss.
Raider 2: 3. Miss.
That concludes Helo's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 1 Yellow and 1 Green in his card draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Not until the start of your second turn. I'm afraid you have another cycle enjoying the Caprica spas. (You can still play cards of course, and as Admiral, you'll still choose the Destination when the fleet jumps, even if you're still stranded at the time.)
