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

BSG

That is true, and I have COs from Gaeta to play an XO-2. Current play:

Destiny: Support the People 1, By Your Command 1
Adama: Iron Will 0, Major Victory 2, Executive Order 2, At Any Cost 3
Boomer: Maximum Firepower 5
Ellen: Executive Order 2, Declare Emergency 3
Gaeta: Executive Order 2
Tory:

Running tally: 15 - 6 = 9. Fail (no effect due to Iron Will). Tory finishes the check.

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

BSG (Tory)

I play CP-2

Final tally is 11. The check passes! For once, you get something better than No Effect, as the jump track advances by 1.

Not to be outdone, Scar advances by 2. He joins the civvies and RSV in Sector 4. That concludes Tory's turn. Adama's cards are going out. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Adama's draw has exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Our wings are not tired

So how do people feel about an XO to Gaeta so that he can move the civvies?

Why only people? Don't Cylons deserve a voice too? You are awash in bionormative privilege!

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

BSG (Ellen)

Gaeta is in Command, not Comms. So he could have the RSV fire on Scar a lot, I guess, or he could move to Comms and move the civvies (then again, so could you). If he's a Cylon, however—not an accusation, just something to consider post-Sleeper, after all—he could move the RSV away or something.

I'm leaning towards an XO to Gaeta although the cylon threat is not to be ignored. It would be nice to have Scar out of the sky and I guess worst that can happen is we'll know who another cylon is.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Gaeta)

I'm not a Cylon! But yeah, to best use the XO, I'd need to do what's at my fingertips, i.e., have piloting jealousy...err, I mean, fight with RSVs. (eta: maybe we'll get lucky, in which case I can use the second action to scout the crisis deck.)

We do definitively have two Cylons now, though, right? The only "we might have only one" scenario would have involved not having one before sleeper phase?
