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

Is it too late to play my MV-2?

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

Oh, I was hoping someone had one of those.

Man, it's just one frakking thing after another. Clearly we're on the downhill run to the season finale.

I will Activate the Pres' Office, draw one Quorum card, play Assign Mission Specialist on Helo, and draw 2 Green.

Helo, if you're able to Scout for a Jump icon, we could go for an early jump on Anders's turn. He can use his OPG to keep us from losing the population.

Or maybe Chief will give us a Jump icon! That would be nice of him. For old times' sake.

(Also, I just realized Tory's weakness and Helo's OPG work well together.)

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

BSG

Maybe I will! I'm generous like that.

Tory, have another Loyalty card, I have this extra one lying around. Because I'm a giver.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG

Holy Frak. The things that happen after you go to bed.

Well, at least we flushed out both Cylons. In this rule set, are there possibility of more? Or is two the maximum?

Woot for blowing up that basestar! If it needs shooting, ask a Pyramid star! Get 'er done!

eta: looks like that move to Comms might be a good one, now that Apollo is in sickbay.

Only two Cylons! Team Human is united!

Eh, if we're attacked, I can jump in a Viper. No biggie. I'm more miffed about losing all my good cards. Which I still don't understand! Why did that happen??

Good to know. Of course, I feel like a human sandwich on two slices of cylon. Crap before my turn, and crap after my turn. I suppose it's better than both in a row.

Wait, do we have two people in sickbay? Or is my spreadsheet messed up? We also are low on cards.

We need to jump. Is it safe to say, ignore the damage to Pegasus? Having not played with it before, not sure it's ramifications. Loss only happens with excessive damage to G, right?

Helo was in Sickbay, but he moved to Comms. Just me in Sickbay now.

We also are low on cards.

That is very, very true.

Is it safe to say, ignore the damage to Pegasus? Having not played with it before, not sure it's ramifications. Loss only happens with excessive damage to G, right?

Yes. We can lose Pegasus and not lose the game. I don't think we should waste turns Repairing it if we can do anything at all to get to Kobol faster. And, really, if we don't jump at least 2 distance on our next jump, we're toast. But given that Helo will have three Destinations to choose from, I think we're good.
