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

I have bought stuff through Steam, big bundle o' games, but then something shiny distracted me and I kind of forgot I had those games to play so it's hard to say if it was worthwhile. I did get everything I was supposed to get, though. I think.

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

BSG

That's long enough for interrupts. We have an IC on the check, courtesy of Apollo, which means you get to see Destiny:

Investigative Committee 3
Launch Scout 2

Running tally: 5 - 0 = 5. Fail.

Destiny sees Helo going all Fight Club on Galactica, and approves. Apollo is up next. I'm taking COs from anyone else that has them.

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

BSG

Well, hot damn, Destiny. I play 0 cards, then. Looks like you guys can take it the rest of the way, no problem.

Nice, Anders! That's a card we don't really need to play right now since we're good on Fuel, so this is perfect!

Orders from Gaeta: play Launch Scout 2.

Running tally: 13 - 0 = 13. Pass! Unless, of course, Zarek or Helo spike it. I have COs from Helo; President Zarek, what is your play?

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

BSG

Thank you! Not bad for a Pyramid star! Not as sexy as your awesome de-debrigging all by yourself, but hey, I got it half way there.

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

Play no cards.

Nice work, guys.

Helo also plays no cards. Final tally: 13. Pass! Admiral Tyler Durden stands undefeated, overwhelming the fleet with sheer testosterone. Morale increases by 1.

In addition, now that the Admiral's back on board, you can start revving up the engines again. The jump track increases by 1.

That concludes Helo's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 1 Yellow and 1 Green in his draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
