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.

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

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?

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

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!

Starbuck fires!

Die roll: 2. Miss.

Well, that certainly raises some questions. If Apollo was executed for missing a basestar, what should be done with Starbuck? Cally's crisis is:

BSG (Tory)

What the frak, Starbuck? Apollo took out THREE Raiders in one go, and you can't hit ONE? TO THE BRIG WITH YOU!

I'm not sure what option to go with. I can help with the check, but it will be difficult to pass with only four of us. And if you discard 5 cards, that's most of your hand, and we'll be even more card-starved than we are now. If we send someone to the brig, we'll have to waste cards to get them out anyway.

This is not a fortuitous beginning.

BSG (Dee is for Dunno)

At least we're getting Jump icons?

I would not be able to help with the check at all. due to my choice of initial draw. Whoops? Enbriggening might be the best choice - the check to debrig is lower than this one, and we'll get more cards as more of us get our turns.

So... it sounds like we are deciding TANK it. I am down with that.
