This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Sorry, no SP here. But I left conditional orders to use my character ability to reroll if necessary.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

Either way I think a jump was our only real option. Hopefully we'll get a good roll.

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

BSG

Everyone passes on interrupts. Admiral "Danger is my middle name" Adama hits the button!

Die roll: 3. Fail. But Gaeta steps in with some revised coordinates!
Die roll redux: 1. Fail. Revised coordinates; not necessarily better coordinates. Oops. Population falls by 3!

Destinations are being sent to the Admiral. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

The Admiral has chosen your destination. You have arrived at a Barren Planet. Um, again. No, it's a different Barren Planet. He swears it is!

Not everyone's convinced, Admiral. They'd like some assurance that you haven't been leading them astray. Ellen's crisis is:

Cylon Screenings
Current Player's Choice

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

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

BSG (Tory)

Well I can help with the check or I can lose my last two cards. Unfortunately I'm feeling a bit faint and I don't think I have the energy to form an investigative committee.

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

BSG (Ellen)

What does everyone else think? Card hit or go for it?

BSG

I'm not sure about this one. What about choosing option 1 and then tanking? Can we afford the morale hit?

BSG (Ellen)

I think Morale is our highest resource right now, but we will always be taking Morale hits.

Without an IC, we may end up losing more cards than 2 each to pass the check (worst case scenario, -18 from Destiny and Boomer!), so I think our options are really the discard or a tank.

What are the quorum card options like for a morale boost if we take the hit?

Oof, if I'm doing the math right, Fuel and Food are at 5, and Pop is at 4. Morale is at 7, which is great, but it won't take much to bring it down to the others' level. Any speeches up your sleeve, Madame President?

Tory is the one with a bunch of Loyalty cards, right? Which makes it less likely I would find a Cylon card if she has one, but it's still a chance. Checking random Loyalty cards after Sleeper is kind of annoying and useless. (But in the last real-life game I played, I had a fifty-fifty chance and did pull a Cylon card, so it can still be useful.)
