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

Stay safe, Susan!

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

BSG

I have passes from everyone else. I'm going to roll it now! It's been too long since I got to roll something!

Die roll: 1. Fail. Raptor lost.

Mr Gaeta, you have another action. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Our wings are not tired

Well, I guess I won't find out what you folks are about to walk into, but since I did send the crew of that raptor to their death, it's time to fall on my sword so to speak.

That's right, I can hear the music playing now, it's time to REVEAL my true nature as a Cylon.

The really fun part comes next though.

My loyalty card decreases the jump prep track by 2

With that, it's time to be off to the resurrection ship.

As a side note, I can't remember the last game where I didn't end up a cylon.

Dammit. I SAID TO XO ANDERS. SPECIFICALLY.

As a side note, I can't remember the last game where I didn't end up a cylon.

This is one reason I basically always suspect you of being a Cylon. And, look, I was right.

Game 7, you stayed human in your first outing as Cally. But you are currently batting 4 out of 6, it's really quite impressive.

President Zarek, you XO'd a Cylon! The Admiral is not in a forgiving mood. Or is he? Zarek's crisis is:

A Verdict of Guilty
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Hold up a moment, my apologies. Helo, before you post your choice, Gaeta needs to discard down to 3 cards. Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your choice of discards.

Well, damn. Honestly, given the fact that I specifically suggested Zarek XO'd Anders and he XO'd Gaeta instead, I kind of suspect Zarek a little more, but I'm not sure I'd bet his life on it. On the other hand, we can afford the Morale hit, and maybe Zarek could come back as someone more useful? He hasn't had much cause to use his abilities. Oh, hey, it looks like I would become President, so at least I'd be confident that the Presidency and Admiralty were both in human hands, although it would make me less useful as a pilot. But I was really thinking the other Cylon was either Anders or Chief, more likely Chief, so I don't know.

Taking the damage hits could be really, really bad if the basestar also hits. Especially if Chief's a Cylon.

You guys...shit just got real.
