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

Boomer's Raptor vanishes in a blip of light

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.

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

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.)

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

I have Boomer's discards; they are:

Strategic Planning 4
Protect the Fleet 0
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Full Throttle 2
Run Interference 3
Maximum Firepower 4
Establish Network 0
Repair 1
Scientific Research 3

Her reveal sets the jump track back by 2. (Technically it's optional, but... well.) That concludes Boomer's turn. Ellen's cards are going out. Ellen, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Ellen)

Frak it all. Boomer was the one I suspected if we had one at all, especially when she kept a Crisis with no jump prep.

So I think Main Batteries may be good for me. Or I can just bury whatever Crisis Boomer left us, since it will be bad. I could XO Gaeta for maximum hilarity.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Gaeta)

Damn it. I knew it! But knowing did me a fat lot of good.

Yeah, that was really clever of me, gluing your feet to the floor in Command so you couldn't head for the Admiral's Quarters. Oh, wait.....

Tory or Adama, does either of you have an XO for Gaeta? He is going to be our best defense against raiders.
