Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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

You always bring out the big guns, boss.

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

BSG

Tally is 3, Boomer to play.

That's just part of being the admiral.

It is! Like being willing to take the hard decisions, and watching protectively over his entire crew. Sometimes at inappropriate moments. That's part of the deal!

BSG (It always feels like Adama is watching you)

It's true, and the crew mostly finds the cameras I have in every corner of the ship comforting. besides, with no TV what else am I going to watch on the Tivo in my quarters.

It's thanks to your policy of wrapping them in fuzzy blankets.

Meanwhile, I have COs to round out the check:

Destiny: Consolidate Power 1, Maximum Firepower 3
Adama: Strategic Planning 5
Boomer: 0 cards
Ellen: Investigative Committee 5
Gaeta: Launch Scout 2
Tory: 0 cards

Tally: 13 - 3 = 10. Pass! The President manages to deflect the Cylons' "This is a military dictatorship, people! It's not supposed to be fun!" stance, for no effect.

The jump track obligingly advances one step. That almost concludes Tory's turn, but for the fact that she is currently 6 cards over her hand limit. Tory, when you're ready, please post your discards.

Hee, Tory is a serious card-drawing machine.

Yes, we certainly have not been starved for cards so far.

BSG

I have Tory's discards, which are:

Red Tape 0
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Trust Instincts 0

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