I love the smell of airlock in the morning.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Starbuck)

Well, hello, ladies! Give me just a moment to grieve the attractive yet conflicted Apollo...and we're good! I just feel so fresh and kinda...clean. So good to be with you! I shall chomp on cigars and outbullshit the bullshittiest of you and then unexpectedly grow my hair out at an alarming rate. Now! I jut my chin out with soldierly resolve, and look forward to exhibiting how much better a pilot I am than that guy. Three for four? Yeah, whatever.

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

BSG (Tory)

Aw, man, we lost an IC.

So an XO to our new Starbuck would be a decent idea. Stupid Raiders! Or start firing on the basestar.

I love the smell of airlock in the morning.

I like how we brought Apollo back to the ship just to execute him. You'd think he would have cottoned to my bad mood and made a break for it.

BSG (Helena)

I prefer to thing that I'd have installed remote eject systems into all the Pegasus Vipers so that I can just execute pilots with the press of a button from Command.

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

BSG (Callygator)

I would like to get Starbuck in the sky but first I discard Establish Network-0 to move to Pegasus CIC

so a future XO to me could destroy a basestar.

Then I play XO-1 on Starbuck.

May the gods be with us.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Starbuck)

Ha, yes, watch my badassery as I...okay, actually I can't do very much. My former self was just killed recently, you know. Which makes my former romantic entanglements sort of narratively masturbatory if you ask me which no one did, of course, because no one ever listens to me and I have to earn all my respect. (Did the canonical Starbuck talk in runons this much? I don't think she did. I think I am totally making this characterization up.)

Anyway, I hop in a viper, launch out into Sector 6 and move to Sector 1, and then I... waggle my eyebrows kinda threateningly and then bop around the skies a bit despite a clear and present danger.

BSG (Tory Potter)

As President, I order you to shoot at something, Starbuck! Launching from Hangar Deck gives you one extra action, so you have one action remaining. ARE YOU A PILOT OR NOT?

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

BSG

Tory is correct, you do have one action remaining thanks to the XO. You may shoot at one of the raiders (or the basestar), or move another sector. Or you may pass. What would you like to do?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Mrs. Dualla Didn't Change Her Name While Married to an Adama Because We Already Had Too Many Adamas)

::Sniff:: The last thing Lee did was take a shot at that base star. Stick with the raiders, Kara.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Starbuck needs her coffee)

I Hmm? What? The static in these comms is something awful, isn't it? Anyway, sorry, yes!

I shoot at a raider, whoo! But without making sound effects because I Serious Pilot Is Serious like that!
