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

75%. But you get a re-roll.

Also, I'm glad I took out all those Raiders before. If they had activated just now, that wouldn't have been fun.

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

BSG

75% chance without an SP, 50% chance with one.

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

BSG

I get a reroll!

edit: absolutely. Good job on those raiders.

You do!

With the reroll, the chances of Pop loss are 9/16 without an SP, 1/4 with one.

Ah, wait, Raiders didn't activate just now. They activated in an earlier Crisis, though, so it's still good.

Pass on interrupts.

No, they activated on this crisis. Since there were no raiders on the board, each basestar launched 2 new raiders.

On to business. Helo has moved to FTL Control and hit the button. The die roll to avoid losing Population may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

I have passes from everyone. Hurried coordinates are passed out to the rest of the fleet:

Die roll: 2. Fail. I have COs from Helo to use his reroll:

Reroll: 5. Fail. Population falls by 3.

It's come at a cost, but the fleet has made the jump. Destinations are going out. As Helo is Mission Specialist, he may choose from three options. Helo, when you're ready, please post your choice.
