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

BSG

But we do still need Pegasus repaired and there could be an unlucky run of jump-icon-free crises ahead.

Someone could always hit FTL. Mr Gaeta can make that less risky than it might be. We've still got Weapons Control to shoot basestars with while the CIC is out of commission.

I would not love to be out of cards again so quickly.

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

BSG

Poor Chief, I think we need to get you patched up and back over to Pegasus.

What about me? I'm still in the frakkin' cooler!! And can only play one card into checks while in here.

Yeah, I still can't help with a Brig check but I hope we can get you out soon!

I would appreciate being XOd out of Sickbay before my turn, only drawing one card would really suck.

I suppose only drawing one card is worse than only able to play one card.

BSG

I can XO the Chief out of Sickbay, and get him either back to Pegasus or to FTL. Alternatively, we could wait until Helo's turn and have two rerolls available.

On the gripping hand, we are at max Pop with only 1 at risk from a jump.

Do I recall correctly that one more hit would destroy Pegasus?

Nope. Two more, Engine Room and Batteries are undamaged.

OK, cool. I was thinking it was any three. So the situation with Chief isn't as dire as I thought.

Fine, go ahead and jump. Leave me here to rot. I'm sure I'll find you guys somehow.

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

OK, cool. I was thinking it was any three.

You're thinking of the number of empty Supply piles that trigger the end of Dominion.
