Okeydoke.

I move to FTL Control and I jump us the hell out of here. I leave conditional orders to use my character ability to reroll if we lose population on the first roll.

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

Pass on interruuuuuuupts!

Jump us into Sleeper Phase, Admiral!

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

BSG

Pass on interrupts. May the gods be with us.

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 FTL die roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone (remaining) (except Boomer), please pass or play.

I play an SP-4 on this.

Oh, awesome! Well played, Admiral! Let's hope for the best, then.

Hold up, I have COs from Gaeta, who would like to play an SP-3. Admiral Adama, as current player, it's your choice whether to accept Gaeta's SP or your own. Which would you like to accept for this die roll?

It seems like it would make sense to play the lower valued SP-3, so I'll let Gaeta make the play.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Yup, that's fine. We're likely to have need enough for either the SP or the card value in the future.

Gaeta plays his SP-3 and hits the Big Red Button!

Die roll: 4 + 2 = 6. Fail! No one has COs to play Calcs; we go to Gaeta's reroll:

Die roll: 1 + 2 = 3. Fail, no takesy backsies! Population falls by 3! Ouch. At least you managed to escape the battle. Destinations are being sent to the Admiral. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.
