On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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

President Zarek vows to go into the next election campaign under the slogan "My Twinkies! NOT MY TWINKIES!!" A tenth of the fleet falls to his hoarding ways.

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes the Chief's turn. Anders has opted to draw 1 Red in his optional draw. Mr Anders, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Anders' card draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

How eager are you to have BRAND NEW CYLONS, Captain?

'Cause I can't shake this feeling of impending doom.

BSG

I can't even figure out if we have any Cylons right now! But soon we definitely will have at least one! Probably two! And then we will start yelling at each other and making accusations and, oh, it will be glorious.

There's definitely doom in the air. Like the calm before the storm.

Card sent. Gaeta and Anders have been busy in that lab, haven't they? On to Anders' crisis:

You know, I'm trying to draw a link between all this research and a big party, and all I keep coming up with is meth lab. Just putting that out there. But will Anders put it out there too, or was he telling the truth when he tried to explain to the marines that it "was all just for personal use, honest"? Mr Heisenberg Anders, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Well, I think we can pass this check, given how much Purple you and Gaeta have been drawing!

I would say go for the skill check, boosting a stat is always worth going for.
