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

The giant metal chickens are total divas. And now you can watch them on your videophone.

Roslin has left orders. Face-punching booty-kicking ahoy! Everyone passes on interrupts:

Die roll: 1. Miss.

Roslin's COs are to face punch booty-kick Beyonce again:

Die roll 2: 3. Miss.

It had to happen eventually. I think that's the first time you've ever missed one of them.

Admiral Cain, you sent a terminally ill woman against a giant metal chicken, and you have some explaining to do. Cain's crisis is:

Giant Metal Chickens Held for Questioning.
Current Player's Choice

Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Well crap, neither of those look good. If I go with option 2 that will leave me with two random cards, and we've been barely scraping through these checks. However I'm not sure if we can pass this check.

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

BSG (Roslinsufferable)

Frak it all, our luck has run out. I could help a lot with the check, but it would clean me out.

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

BSG (Boomer)

I could help a little (and I have an interrupt I am pondering) but I'm not sure it's worth the risk.

BSG (Helena)

Okay, I'm going to choose OPTION 1.

Should we go for the actual check or Tank it?

Lose 1 Morale and put you in Detention? Frak that noise. I play IC-3.

If we're going for it, I'm doing all I can.

I play JR-1.

You played the JR-1 on a previous check. You don't have it anymore.

I wish to chare this, because it made me laugh and laugh. I've been looking through Mark Watches Battlestar Galactica, and at one point he states that Cylons are "the honey badgers of space, basically."

The first comment:

THE HONEY BADGERS WERE CREATED BY MAN.

THEY REBELLED.

THEY EVOLVED.

THEY LOOK AND FEEL HUMAN.

SOME ARE PROGRAMMED TO THINK THEY ARE HUMAN.

THERE ARE MANY COPIES.

AND THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

Take a guess who it's from.

ugh, oops. I thought I was dealt another one. Sorry about that.
