Interesting. All that for a box of noodles? Cool. I'm in the research lab, so my action is to ACTIVATE RESEARCH LAB and draw a blue card.

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

Anders' card has been sent. Gaeta is up next.

So it looks like unless Gaeta has some awesome cards, the best person to be XO'd would be either Anders to draw some more cards (purple is also good!) or Zarek to REALLY work that Quorum.

Gaeta, you could move somewhere to be in a better position for a later XO, I guess. Too bad you can't jump us right now! Or launch a scout, that would be useful.

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

or Chief to draw more repair cards. I'm leaning towards the quorum.

As much as I despise politics, Tom Zarek has been a powerful ally in our fight against the cylons. I wonder if he might persuade the Quorum to participate in a military strategy to address the ongoing cylon threat?

How would Chief draw more Repair cards? Unless you mean to discard a card to move to Research Lab and draw blue, which doesn't seem like the best plan, especially when he's standing on the Airlock and may draw a Repair on his turn.

The Quorum can be very powerful, and getting to use it three times on one turn could mean wonderful things for our resources. State of Emergency costs 1 Food, so it'd be nice to get it back.

oops, poor reading comprehension. That would be Anders who could draw more blue. I saw "draw a blue card" and was thinking that was Chief.

I kind of wish Anders had drawn Purple, actually. We could use more SPs with the Quorum, and Chief should be doing most of the repairing. It's too bad we can't trade cards with each other. Well, Ellen can give people cards, which is kind of neat.

My plan right now is to XO Zarek but I am open to suggestions.

For those of you who like Marathon, there is an iPad app of it now. Little clunky. But free!
