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

I am also eyeing Anders suspiciously. I don't recall a reason for him not to have Treachery in his hand.

Stupid Destiny, hogging the IC.

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

BSG

Bah. No Repair, no XO. What would be useful for me to do?

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

BSG

draw more cards? Or work the engine room but it sucks when you do that and your crisis turns out to have had a jump icon anyway.

Hm, okay. I'll discard Red Tape-0 to move to the Press Room and activate it.

Ladies and gentlemen of the Press, I'm not much for public speaking. And, in fact, there's not much happening right now, so I don't really have anything to tell you. I heard there were cookies at these things so I thought I'd stop by...

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

BSG

Cards sent. Administrative note: the Chief's Press Room draw has exhausted the Politics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

I feel sorry for the Chief. He couldn't think of anything interesting to tell the press. Maybe I can help. Your crisis is:

Scar
Cylon attack

Oh frak! I use my Alert Viper Pilot ability to jump into the RSV in Sector 5 and move to Sector 4. I'll cover the shit out of you, civvies.

Oddly enough, this does not make the civvies any less nervous. That concludes the Chief's turn. Anders has opted to draw Red for his optional draw. Anders, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
