Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

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

BSG

Yeah it wasn't funny the second time.

Holy frakballs. And I was worrying about OVERplaying on that check.

Yeah the tank-by-Treachery sounds pretty good, as long as no one plays a Reckless, which'll pretty much out them as a Cylon.

Also, since we seem to agree the Admiral is toast-free, I can do something that'll improve our odds of only having one more jump cycle after this one. Next chance I get. Hint, hint.

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

BSG

It was a little funny. And you did pretty well with your reincarnation, as I recall.

You know what would be hilarious? If the cylons discarded something else to avoid arousing suspicion and Destiny turned up two Treachery so nobody knew. Shoot, but then how would we know to laugh bitterly? After the game, I guess.

the GM would laugh bitterly for us.

If you're thinking about Designating a Mission Specialist I wholeheartedly support any plan that will give us three choices of destination instead of two.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah it wasn't funny the second time.

(Yes it was.)

Sorry, sorry, carry on with your "game," puny mortals.

BSG

Well, I wanted to see how things shook out after Sleeper Phase before doing it. Helo looks like a pretty good bet right now.

Also, pass on interrupts.

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

BSG

As a note, I'm going to be at Comic-Con, so I won't be checking in as often for the next five or six days, but I will definitely keep up with my MAGICAL SMARTPHONE. I'll be waiting in line a lot, after all.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

I agree with the plan for a Treachery Tank
