"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Gaeta)

Yeah, that's a lot of stuff in the skies, plus the loss of the jump track is painful. And they are isolated right now so you could do it without civilian loss.

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

BSG (Ellen, a Handbasket)

Frak, no XO. I could try to fish for one by being Adroit, but it's a gamble, and I feel like I should be in a different location to be ready for an XO later on. Any suggestions? Comms, Weapons Control, Main Batteries?

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Adama)

I'd go for Comms to try to move the civvies away from the Cylons so that I have a chance to hit them with nukes with the smallest chance of collateral damage.

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

BSG (Tory)

Comms sounds good to me

BSG (Ellen)

Sounds like a plan!

I move to Comms and activate Comms in Sector 4 to look at Civvies A and B.

Come in, A and B, this is Ellen. Yes, Ellen, they gave me the thing, shut up. What's your cargo? Hello? Hello? Anyone there? YES IT'S ELLEN THEY GAVE ME THE THING.

BSG (Ellen with the Thing)

Come in, A and B, this is Ellen. YES. ELLEN. Move to Sector 5 immediately. I repeat, move to Sector 5.

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

BSG

Ellen "They gave me the thing" Tigh has survived talking to the civvies; but can she survive:

The Circle
President's Choice

President Foster, when you're ready, please post your choice.

BSG (Ellen of Tory)

WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF CIRCLE IS THIS.

I'm guessing you don't want to give up the Presidency or kill me (...I hope), so I guess we have to take the card hit.

BSG (President Tory)

Wow this one is harsh. The least costly choice is to hand another human the presidency but are we 100% certain about any of us? We definitely don't want to execute Ellen. I'm pretty sure she's human and there's a chance that last loyalty card says 'cylon'.

Five cards is a lot but I still have a few good ones after discarding. How about you, Ellen?

edit: it sounds like Ellen agrees we take the card hit. Discards posted after I double check my hand.

I'm pretty sure where Boomer stands. (At the bridge of a battle cruiser shouting "KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL!!". Oh Boomer, truly you are the Zooey Deschanel of the space generation.)
