Well, that was not a bright shining turn helping humanity to glory.

I can try to take out that basestar if someone gets a chance to XO me before we jump, get rid of that relentless pursuit if I'm successful.

I'm not concerned about entering Sleeper phase with not a lot of cards. The brand new cylon would also have not a lot of cards. And I expect to be low on cards forever and ever.

Speaking of cards, I would not be able to help Anders get out of the brig. Sorry, man.

Hm! Does anyone have Major Victory? If we can try to get some Morale back, I'd vote for shooting the Basestar.

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

BSG

Oh man. I mean, I can help get Anders out, but it would be a gamble if it's just me! Then again, Zarek, you have the ability to take it down to 1YP. If I helped a lot (and Anders put in his one card), we could maybe pull it off.

Otherwise, yeah, I guess XO Chief to blow up that basestar or whatever. Or, I don't know, we could just jump out of here. Gaeta can reroll and everything.

I can try to take out that basestar if someone gets a chance to XO me before we jump, get rid of that relentless pursuit if I'm successful.

Would it get rid of it? My read is that once it comes up, it will keep getting shuffled back into the deck no matter what. That's its power, right?

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

It will get reshuffled into the deck, unless a basestar or civilian ship has been destroyed before your next jump. All other crisis cards that you've already faced will not be shuffled back into the deck.

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

BSG

I think we want to destroy that basestar before we jump, if we can. I don't have Major Victory, unfortunately.

Well, I don't either, so that's half of us.....

I don't have my game near me, what do we need to pass a brig check? I'm pretty certain I can help.

Also, I don't have a Major Victory.

Zarek, you have the ability to take it down to 1YP.

Seriously?

Then yes, I can help with a brig check.
