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

BSG

Your Admiral has spoken! After the hammering the fleet received on that last jump, perhaps you should pick on something less able to fight back. Your destination is:

Derelict Basestar
Distance 2

The new basestar has been damaged once; it has suffered a Critical Hit.

Dee reciprocates with some Sabotage; Cain assigns the damage to Pegasus, which loses its Engine Room.

You have now reached the Sleeper Phase. There's only one brand of loyalty card left, so I think you can all figure out what you get off the deck (in Boomer's case, twice!). Starbuck and Dee, technically you pass your new loyalty cards to another player. Feel free to pick a bunny if you wish.

At the end of Cain's last turn, Population stood at 10. Since then, not only have you lost 90% of humanity, but 2 Fuel and 2 Morale as well. There have been few cycles as brutal as this one; but at least you can finish it on a less fraught note. Cain's crisis is:

Food Shortage (A)
President's Choice

President Foster, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Foster the People)

At the end of Cain's last turn, Population stood at 10. Since then, not only have you lost 90% of humanity, but 2 Fuel and 2 Morale as well.

Holy crap on a stick.

I choose Option 2 and discard RT-0, TI-0.

Cain discards three cards too. Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your choice of discards.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

There have been few cycles as brutal as this one

No kidding!

Cain's discards:

Iron Will 0
Executive Order 1
Executive Order 1

Finally, the damaged basestar spits out two new raiders; and the jump track, freshly reset, takes its first step towards the next jump. That concludes Cain's turn. Starbuck has opted to draw 1 Purple and 1 Red. She has left COs, which I will implement shortly.

Starbuck's orders:

Move to the Cylon Fleet
Activate heavy raiders

Armand, the flamboyant, swashbuckling Centurion, and Sergei, his dour but fiercely loyal servant, advance one step; the basestar also produces a new heavy raider. That concludes Starbuck's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (suddenly Boomer)

as I am unable to move I will stay put and play LS-1 to Scout the Crisis deck.

Which I will modify with an SP-3.

That makes sense, right? I don't have an XO.

Apologies for the delay, I need to check something with Boomer.
