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

BSG (Boomer)

I know this! For my first magical trick I will Stay Here and play MF-4 to attack the heck out of these raiders in Sector 4.

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

BSG (Roslin the Enforcer)

Awesome! If your second trick is to Scout, remember that I get to choose from two Crisis Cards anyway. Hey, did you do your recon?

I did at the end of my turn, I think... did a whole other round happen since the last time I scouted the crisis deck?

Should I scout the destination deck?

You just had your turn, so if you didn't just do it, then...that should happen. billytea didn't say whether you left it or buried it.

And, yes, Scouting the Destination deck is a good idea. We need to go 2 Distance and we only have 3 Fuel. So bury any 1 Distance or 3 Fuel.

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

BSG

I did not send her Recon (oops). I'll send it now.

Meanwhile, let's see if Boomer's as good against raiders as she is against Centurions:

Attack 1: 8. Hit!
Attack 2: 1. Miss.
Attack 3: 8. Hit!

There's nothing left to shoot at (you can't shoot at the civvies, Boomer), but for anyone who's interetsed, the fourth roll was also an 8. That series of shots would've destroyed a basestar.

I've sent Boomer's Recon. Boomer, when you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck, and your choice of a second action.

I left that card on top and I am going to scout the Destination deck.

The scouting die roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

I have passes from the others. The die roll:

Die roll: 8. Again. Pass! Destination is on its way.
