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

Pass on Interrupts

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

BSG

Oh, by the way, an adminstrative note: Destiny's play into the check reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it.

Seven cards into the skill check. Let's see how it goes:

Executive Order 2
At Any Cost 5
Launch Scout 2
Critical Situation 5
Evasive Maneouvre 2
Special Destiny 2
Human Weakness 3

Tally: 14 - 7 = 7. Fail! Just outside of DE range too. The Admiral, her attention focused on Armand, is taken by surprise when his live-in companion Sergei appears behind her! Cain is sent to Sickbay; a new Centurion is added to the boarding party track.

Finally, the raiders activate. About time too. While his minions move to his aid, Scar opens fire on the hapless RSVs!

Attack 1: 2. Miss.
Attack 2: 3. Miss.

Oh, Scar. That reputation is taking a hammering. That concludes Cain's turn. I'm checking with Starbuck about a couple of points concerning her COs. Once they're clarified, we'll move on to her turn.

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

Sergei, tovarisch, so glad you could make it!

He would've been here sooner, but he needed to pick just the right black turtleneck sweater for infiltration work. (Armand, of course, looks good in anything, the shiny bastard.)

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

BSG (Bananas Foster)

Frak frak frak FRAK. Destiny was brutal. We're going to have to have really good luck with rolls now, or we're toast.

The last IRL game I played, though, we managed to take out two Centurions just in time (...to lose by Inbound Nukes), so it's not hopeless.
