Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

That was an awesome crisis check! Dudes! We moved ahead, and still have blue in the jump track. AND took out a Raider! AWeSoMe!!

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

Wow that was a beautiful thing. Nice shooting, Apollo.

Wish I'd taken one out myself, but, hey, one more to go if we don't jump on Chief's turn. I considered not even bothering, but I hedged my bets in case Chief gets a terrible catastrophe like a Cylon attack that damages FTL and then we don't get a jump icon forever. IT COULD HAPPEN.

I will draw a Quorum card, then wait to see what the card is before deciding whether to play or draw.

OK. For my second action, I will begin by (surprise!) drawing a Quorum card.

Hm. That one will definitely be useful, but not yet, I think.

Draw a fourth Quorum card.

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

Card sent. President Zarek has spent the last hour haranguing the Quorum for "phenomenal cosmic power". Sadly, he forgot to rub their bellies for luck. Chief's crisis is:

Thirty Three
Cylon Attack

Most of this is pretty straightforward, but the raider does get one shot at the RSV:

Die roll: 5. RSV damaged! We shall pause here for the pilots to pass or play on EM interrupts. This roll could also be made to fail with a Calculations. Anyone who has a Calcs, either post or send me COs.
