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

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!

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

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:

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

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.

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

BSG (Cally fragilistic)

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

I'm up with TANKING as well, then. Don't you dare brig the President, however.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Wait, not me again!Starbuck?)

Hmm. Well, I'm sure there's some really excellent reason why I do not appear to be as flawless a pilot as the late, lamented, Apollo. And you all know, I am nothing if not compliant to the will of the people, so I agree to TANK . But don't brig me! I'm already short on cards, from, you know, when FORMER ME DIED! (It's totally gonna be me, isn't it?)

Brigging you would have the following benefits: it would protect you from ending up in Sickbay when the Raiders activate and it would not affect our ability to pass skill checks at all since you don't have any cards anyway. But probably not a great idea to brig the pilot.

Dee is good to keep around for Comms. Cain seems like the best candidate, but I think brigging the Admiral would result in a passing of the torch. Which would be hilarious. Except for the fact that we don't want the Admiralty falling into the wrong hands. Unless they're already in the wrong hands.

Man, this game is just full of bad choices.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Starbuck)

Isn't it, though? I kinda love it! The only thing better than a first turn execution and a second turn brigging is a second turn brigging of an Admiral resulting in power shift! Who is next in succession?
