Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

BSG (Adama is your leader, you must OBEY!)

I XO-1 Ellen.

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, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

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

BSG (Ellen with the Thing)

I remain in Comms.

Come in, Civvies E and F. E and F, this is Ellen Tigh. SHUT UP. YES IT IS. GIVE ME YOUR FRAKKING STATUS RIGHT NOW.

BSG (Ellen with the Thing)

E and F, please move to Sector 5 and join your friends!

And now to complete the maneuver.

Civvies C and G, listen up! Status update, please! Yes, C, we know you're safe, but orders are orders.

C, stay where you are. G, get your frakking ass over to Sector 5, what are you thinking, hanging out there all alone!

Look at this, someone finally noticed that they let Ellen talk to the civvies. The only option is to declare:

Code Blue (bowm chikka bowm bowm)

Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I can help with this check, and I'd prefer to go for it since I'd have to discard down to 10 cards at the end of this round anyway, and if I'm counting correctly after than XO I still have 14 cards in my hand.

You are counting correctly. Or else I'm counting incorrectly too. It could go either way.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Yeah, let's go for it. I don't feel particularly suspicious of anyone at this point, but it would be nice to a) not lose morale and b) not introduce any more treachery than necessary into our hands. We've been pretty fortunate with card management this game, so I think it's worthwhile to try to avoid the card loss.

I choose OPTION 1 let's go for the check!
