Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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

Administrative note: Cain's draw has exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Boomer, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

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

BSG (Boomer)

You may pass on them, but Cain steps up with the Plan! An SP-3, to be precise. Cally's face-shooting skills proved surprisingly inadequate. How will Boomer fare?

Die roll: 5 + 2 = 7. Hit! Armand succumbs to an extreme face-shooting! But Sergei is grimly determined to finish his master's schemes. I have orders from Boomer - is Sergei in for a face-shooting of his own? Once again, Cain steps forward with the Plan ("If you pick 'em up by the ears, it doesn't hurt 'em as much.")

Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. Hit! Boomer, denied the opportunity to damage Galactica twice, has turned her wrath on the Centurions. Alas, they are no more. (Well, actually they download. It's ok kids, Armand's adventures will continue in his own spinoff, "Chromeo, P.I.")

Galactica is saved, for now at least. The fleet celebrates with a refreshing beverage. Alas, they may have overdone it. Cain's crisis is:

Water Shortage (A)
President's Choice

Water Shortages are Cylons. There are many copies. This one activates both raiders and the jump track. President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Taura Foslin)

HOLY CRAP NICE SHOOTING BOOMER!!

We don't need to be losing more cards, so I choose Option 1.

Whew. Thanks for the plan, Admiral.

I'm out and about on my office Christmas party today, so I'll sort out the turn end once I'm home. Meanwhile, feel free to chat amongst yourselves. Compose an elegy for Armand, that kind of thing.

Dear Red Dead Redemption,

it is easier to drink a cup of coffee while riding a real horse.

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

BSG (Anastasia)

Oh, Armand and Sergei, you worked so tirelessly and came so close to accomplishing the goal of all chrome, to kill all humans. Alas, like so many in this ongoing conflict, you were shot in the face before you could realize your dream. Your shiny red-eyed faces. So sad.

Now we will have to try to kill all humans by actually killing all the humans. Well, driving the population to zero. You know what I mean.
