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

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

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

BSG

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.

While the Admiral makes his choice, an administrative note: thanks to Thirty Three, Relentless Pursuit was in effect. Since no basestar or civilian ship had been destroyed, Thirty Three has been reshuffled into the Crisis deck.

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

Ouch, indeed. And so close on that first roll!

Since no basestar or civilian ship had been destroyed, Thirty Three has been reshuffled into the Crisis deck.

Boooo, I forgot about that. Maybe we should have nuked that basestar after all.

Wheeeeeeeeeeee.

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

The Admiral has chosen: a Barren Planet. Fuel drops by 2, and Distance increases to 4 - triggering the Sleeper Phase! New loyalty cards are going out. Boomer receives two loyalty cards, and since she is a revealed Cylon, immediately passes them to another crew member. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your choice. We'll pause for everyone to digest their new loyalties and for Boomer's decision.

Very sneaky, Boomerbot. President and Admiral, eh? I see what you did there.
