I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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

BSG

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.

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.

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

BSG (To re: your brains)

I'm afraid I do not have an xo.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Adama)

I can perform an XO.

BSG (Lady MacTigh)

All right, here we go!

I move to Command, where I adroitly hand Gaeta a card to draw 1Y/1G.

Here in Command, I declare a State of Emergency-6.

Aaaaaahh!

Now I play LS-1 on the Crisis Deck.

BSG

Ok, this could take a while. But! First off, let's see how that little scout does:

Die roll: 2. Fail. The scout goes spinning off into the ether.

Ok. Let's get things going properly. Ellen has declared a State of Emergency. Food falls by 1. Now, every player may take either a move, or one action. Ellen's action was to attempt to scout the crisis deck. Gaeta is up next. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move or action. Everyone else, you can send me COs for your orders if you wish.

Reminder: there is still a limit of one XO per turn. The SoE does not count towards this limit; therefore, it is still open for one (human) player to play an XO as their action.
