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

BSG (Ellen)

Wow, way to be psychic, Gaeta! And nice shooting. Pass on interrupts, and I can't help with this check at all.

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

BSG

I have passes from everyone. Let's begin.

Destiny: 2 cards
Tory:
Adama:
Boomer:
Ellen: (COs received)
Gaeta: (COs received)

Tory is first to play. Once again, post the number of cards you play, and send me the details.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Random BSG-related question? Is it possible to play a PP against Population to protect against Population loss on an early jump? I haven't seen the card, so I don't know if it protects against 1 loss, or all losses. If the latter, wow.

It protects against only 1 point of loss, but you can use it to safeguard an early jump. If you jump at -3, you only risk 2 Pop; if you jump at -1, you don't risk any Population at all.

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

BSG (Tory, where's your committee now?)

Alas I can't help at all.

I play no cards.

BSG

I now have everyone's play:

Destiny: 2 cards
Tory: 0 cards
Adama: 1 card
Boomer: 1 card
Ellen: 0 cards
Gaeta: 1 card

Let's see what turned up:

Launch Scout 2
Run Interference 5
Repair 2
Broadcast Location 1
Broadcast Location 1

Tally: 9 - 2 = 7. Partial Pass. Courtesy of Gaeta's Preventative Policy, the Population loss is nullified. No effect!

The heavy raiders advances, as does the jump track. That concludes Gaeta's turn. Tory's cards are going out. President Foster, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (I Dream of Tory)

oh wait, never mind, Adama comes after me.

I'm thinking either Ellen in Comms or Gaeta in CIC.

And now I'm thinking it has to be Ellen because a raider activation would be a Very Bad Thing right now. I'll wait just a little bit in case somebody has a brilliant idea.

Hey, all right for instinct!
