There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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

BSG

Pegasus is a good choice, always in fashion.

Pegasus, plz.

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

BSG

Pegasus bears the brunt of its wrath. Airlock damaged.

Finally, the jump track, set back two spaces by Gaeta's sabotage, recovers half that distance. That concludes Zarek'a Tory's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

I'm going to step outside for a little air.

I play PF-0 to move to Pegasus CIC, and play SP-4 before I attack that puppy.

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

BSG

Blow it up, Helo! BLOW IT UP!

Welcome to the crew, President Tory! Hope Tom knows it was nothing personal.

(But given that if he hadn't sacrificed himself for the cause, Pegasus would be almost destroyed right now and Helo may not have been able to do what he's doing...thanks.)

Helo fires at the basestar:

Die roll: 1 + 2 = 3. The Admiral, being unfamiliar with the controls of this newer basestar, has managed to damage Pegasus instead! Specifically, Pegasus CIC. Oops. Helo returns to Galactica on a stretcher.

(But given that if he hadn't sacrificed himself for the cause, Pegasus would be almost destroyed right now and Helo may not have been able to do what he's doing...thanks.)

And as befits a noble warrior, he was given a Viking funeral. Of course, you can't set his body adrift on a burning longboat just anywhere. You need water. Lots and lots of water. Helo's crisis is:

Water Shortage
President's Choice

What say you, Tory? Does the Viking sendoff go ahead? When you're ready, please post your choice.

Oh, frakking hell. We are definitely in the downward spiral of OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT that tends to define this game now.

As for the crisis...cripes, Helo just discarded cards! But Tory wouldn't lose any cards. Yet, losing Food isn't great. I don't know.

I can't believe they passed you over for President.

Helo, that was a valiant effort, but how about on my turn, if I can, I XO you out of Sickbay to nuke that basestar out of orbit? Hopefully we can neutralize it before it starts spitting out Raiders.
