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

BSG

It's either that or XO Boomer, but Boomer doesn't appear to have any good offensive abilities at the moment, so I think the best offense is a good defense right now.

Come in, Civilian Ship C and Civilian Ship E. Anyone there? What do you have on board? Stand by for orders.

Oh, this is fun! Saul never lets me play with all these neat toys!

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

BSG

The ships manifests have manifested themselves to Ellen "Bury me in a Y-shaped coffin" Tigh. Her orders: Civvie E moves to Sector 5, while civvie C heads to Sector 3.

The XO then gives her a second order, for which she has left COs:

Play CP-1 to draw 1 Purple and 1 Red.

The cards have been sent. Hey, did anyone notice that civvie C is chumming it with the raiders? The Admiral did. What's to be done about it? Adama's crisis is:

Rescue Mission (B)
Admiral's Choice

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

Hey....

Also, our Admiral sure does get to do a lot of choosing. It's almost as if he were in control or something. I have no advice about this particular choice. It's hard to say at this stage what we'll have to face down the galactic highway.

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

BSG

I think option 1 is better. I know it sucks being in sickbay but we have a whole round to get you out again.

BSG (Lady MacTigh)

Oof. I'm not sure which option is better. Flip a coin again? Tory is right, though, that we can get Adama out of Sickbay easily enough.

Hey....

People are always looking at me with ellipses. Always.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

BSG

I have no position on this(being currently weightless) except to note that it's easier to recover Morale than PopulationFuel.

BSG (THE Admiral)

So I can choose option one, but then we lose someone at Weapons control. If I can get an XO at weapons control then I can take two shots at the basestar and hopefully take it out.

Thoughts?

BSG (THE Admiral's Squeeze)

We're going to be in the blue, and it will take at least two more Raider activations to harm any civilians. The basestar may shoot at us, but I think we should maybe jump after the next jump icon we get, so the basestar may never get a chance.

Boomer makes a good point about recovering Morale, though. Tory can always give a speech or something.

It's a tough decision, Admiral! But that's why you've got that hat.
