Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

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

BSG

But not getting any either!

Clearly this is a bold reinvisioning of Ellen's character. Anyway. Tory's play takes the total to 14, and pass! I have COs from Adama; do they say "Spike the crap out of this one, I mean just WHAMMO!"? ...No. They say "Pass". Pity, I like my version better.

The check passes! For no effect. That concludes Adama's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG(Boomellium Sphere)

Typical. I could really have used this last turn, AND I didn't get a replacement for what I did burn.

I will therefore Move to Research and Draw 1 Blue

Card sent. And who'd have thought that Boomer was doing research into weapons of mass destruction? Boomer's crisis is:

Cylon Genocide
Current Player's Choice

Boomer, when you're ready, please post your choice. Everyone can send me COs for both the skill check and the die roll.

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

BSG

Well, there's no reason to go for the check, so I'll pass on interrupts for the die roll.

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

BSG(Boombino)

Great googly moogly. Um, do we want to go for the skill check and tank it? I'd kind of like to not wind up in the brig a whole jump cycle early and Morale is at 9.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Gaeta)

Well, there's no gain to going for the skill check, but I think it'd probably be easier to spring you from the brig than to recover morale. Plus, it's a die roll, so you might not end up brigged.

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

BSG(Boomcisive)

All right, let's do it this way: if Felix has a Calcs, I'll risk the die roll. If not, I'll choose the check and we can tank it. Felix?

Our wings are not tired

An SP could also help on this roll.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Gaeta)

You might have been able to guess from the previous turn where I didn't have high level blue to double, but I don't have a Calcs. Or an SP for that matter. In fact, I pass on interrupts.

I still say that it's better to risk you in the brig, which may not happen, than to take an assured Morale hit, for no potential gain.

I do have another way I could aid you, if the team is in agreement, on my turn, should you end up in the brig.
