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

I trust me! But Cally has a better shot of doing something useful. I don't know how Main Batteries work on Scar, though. Does she still have to roll a natural 7+? I guess it's better than sending a Raider to do it.

Using Main Batteries, you would still need to get a 7, but it needn't be a natural 7. (An SP or Calcs can make it easier.)

If you used Main Batteries on a sector with both Scar and a bunch of other raiders (not an issue right now of course), you can apply the results as works best; so on a 4-6, you didn't reach a 7 so you can't destroy Scar; you can use it to destroy two normal raiders. If you get 7-8, you can destroy 4 raiders, and as you got 7+, one of them can be Scar.

I could launch two more RSVs into Sector 5 and then move one into the sector with the civvies for more protection.

Remember, Command gives you two activations. Two launches and a move would equal three activations. You could launch one RSV and move it to Sector 4 if you wish.

Right. Okay, so I could get one more raider on the board and into sector 4.

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

BSG (Cally)

I can get behind the launching of more birds.

Cally can get behind it. But can Cain? (Don't get right behind it, Cally. We'd hate to see one of the vipers' boosters burn you all up.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I can get behind the launching of more birds.

There's an app for that.

Yes I want to put the additional bird in the air but I won't have a chance for a real post until after act 2 is done on my current show.

There's an app for that.

But it's only effective against green pigs in spaaaaaace

I may be a little loopy.

Bird sent to Sector 4. Surely this can't be a controversial decision. And yet, the Admiral finds herself accused of:

Divisive Behaviour
Skill Check (10 YGP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Starbuck plays first, Cain last.

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

BSG (Foster the People)

Pass on interrupts. I can help a lot on this check. Remember that we have a guaranteed -2 from God's Plan as well as a likely spike from Starbuck.

Cally, since you have so few cards, you may want to sit this one out, if Dee, Cain, and I can handle it. Cain, I think you're two cards over anyway so will have to play them, right?

I can help a lot with this check. And I can start with a Guts and Initiative-1 to avoid that God's Plan.
