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

BSG

Adama has chosen! Your destination is:

Radioactive Cloud
Distance: 2

Fuel and Population both drop by 1. In the midst of that cloud, you discover a habitable planet! Welcome human and Cylon alike to New Caprica. Be sure to check out the amenities.

Finally, Adama finishes the turn with 11 cards, and must discard one. He has chosen: Iron Will 0

That concludes Adama's turn. Boomer has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Treachery. She has left COs for her turn, which will be enacted shortly.

Boomer's COs are as follows:

Move: none
Action: Activate Occupation Authority

Activating the Occupation Authority does two things. First, occupation forces are activated. As there are no occupation forces on the board, one is placed on Occupation Authority. Next, an OF is placed on Occupation Authority, for a total of two.

That concludes Boomer's turn. Ellen's cards are going out. Ellen, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Ellen, a Handbasket)

Well, well, well. We've never done New Caprica before, so your guess is as good as mine as to what to do.

1. Execute Boomer for funsies. (I mainly suggest this because I have a lot of cards, so I might as well use them somehow, although if I have to discard, it won't be the worst thing.)
2. Try to destroy one of those Occupation Forces, if someone can help me plan.
3. Use Breeder's Canyon to sacrifice Food to bring Galactica back faster.
4. Prepare a civvie to evacuate.

If I get executed, do I get the last Loyalty card?

BSG (Lady MacTigh)

I think you just lose all your cards and get sent to Medical Center. You will stay the metal monstrosity that you are.

Although it would be funny if we could turn you human.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Yeah, I think execution is kinda pointless once a Cylon has revealed.

I would say either work on the OA or start prepping civvies. No sense in bringing Galactica back before we're ready.

BSG (Ellen)

I'm a little antsy about having two Occupation Forces already (no sense in preparing civvies if they're just going to DESTROY them), so I will move to Occupation Authority and punch an Occupation Force in the face.

Pass on interrupts.

No, that's just for returning humans. I also shuffle an additional card into the deck before dealing out the new loyalty card, so there's a 50% chance they get the remaining card, and a 50% chance they get a YANAC card.

Meanwhile, Ellen is trying to punch a Centurion in the face. SPs, I call for them. Everyone, please pass or play.
