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

BSG (Ellen)

Well played, Mr. Gaeta! Coverage in all sectors! Hope Boomer is full of EMs.

Hey, Jump Prep! I say Option 2 is better. Food is our lowest resource.

Also, I would not be averse to jumping early this time, as we have a lot of civvies threatened. But we do get a free Scout from Boomer, so...actually, we're in a similar position. If she gets jump prep and then assures a jump prep for me, we can wait for the auto-jump; otherwise, I'd be tempted to pull the trigger if we're only risking 1 Pop. Especially if a Raider activation could destroy civvies, which it could unless Boomer does something majorly heroic. Actually, wait! Boomer! I KNOW YOU CAN DO SOMETHING GOOD. We will be safe on Boomer's turn. Get out there to Sector 1.

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

BSG (Tory)

The sacrifices I make for my people. I choose Option 2 and discard CP-1, CP-1.

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

BSG

Tory has chosen option 2. Food drops by 1; in addition to Tory's discards, Adama discards 3 cards. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choices.

I have the Admiral's discards, they are: IW-0, TI-0, LS-1.

That concludes Adama's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG(Boombox)

I play Critical Situation-5.

For my Movement action, I LS-1 on the Crisis Deck.

(After that last Crisis card, it's nice to get the exact card draw I wanted)

BSG

Die roll = 8. Pass! Crisis card details sent. When you're ready, please post whether to place this card on the top or the bottom of the crisis deck, and then you can post your second action.

BSG

Whoops, forgot the SP! Well, I didn't need it....

Boomer's Raptor vanishes in a blip of light

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

BSG(Boomelia)

Ah! Keep that one on top, please.

The Raptor reappears and hangs silently in space a moment.

"I was lost in the shadows but He found me. His love was the beacon that led me from darkness to light and now I am blinded by His majesty."

(For no obvious reason this speech is heard over a shot of a minotaur stomping through one of Galactica's lower corridors)

While everyone is staring at the DRADIS in confusion, a squealing signal comes over the comms next. The FTL console reacts with an electronic shriek. Gaeta lunges over, pounds frantically on the controls for a moment, then swears loudly.

"Admiral, the coordinates have been scrambled, we're going to have to restart calculations almost from scratch." Gaeta looks up. "She had to have set this up before she left."

I Reveal.

YOU ARE A CYLON Action: Reveal this card. If you are not in the Brig, you may decrease the Jump Preparation track by 2.

BSG

Boomer mistakes this board for her Facebook page and reveals! Boomer, you currently hold 13 cards, so I will need 10 discards from you. (Or you can email me the 3 cards you wish to keep.)
