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

BSG (Thrace the Music)

That is pretty persuasive. But if you're a cylon it would be an excellent opportunity for you to do a lot of damage. Maybe I'd be better off having Tigh nuke something.

SO MANY CYLONS! SO MANY CIVILIANS!

Doubling what P-C said. Remember, with New Caprica, Pop losses from lost ships are less critical than from other sources.

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

BSG (Totally Human Dee)

I understand your hesitation, and I'm not sure how to allay your fears at this point. But I wouldn't waste a nuke this early. We will need them for the final battle. Having two basestars is bad, but we just need two more jump icons.

Also, Tigh is after you, so you shouldn't XO him. You could let Baltar out. But I can protect the civvies and scout for a jump icon.

I know for sure Tigh is human, so the NextO would not be a problem. But I am a risk-taking kind of gal, and I did like the way you punched Baltar, so what the heck.

I move to Sector 5 and XO-2 my good friend Anastasia who will demonstrate how very human she is by deploying that Communications degree her folks said was useless.

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

BSG

Dee has left COs. She does not move, and for her first action, she Activates Comms. Thanks to her special ability, she can check all the civvies. Ship's manifests are being sent. Dee, when you're ready, please post where to move all the ships.

Party in Sector 5! C, F, and H, move it!

And now I LS-1 the Crisis deck.

One raptor, full of hope and possibly beans, hops off in search of a better life.

Die roll: 3. Pass! They return to regale Dee with long tales of all they've seen and done. ("The size of a head! Can you believe it?") Dee, when you're ready, please post whether to put this card on the top or bottom of the deck.

I have heard from Dee, who opts to keep the crisis card. Starbuck began her turn in space, so she gets a bonus action this turn. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your orders.

Oh, really? Well, okay, then I'll Scout Destinations via LS-2

Another raptor heads off:

Die roll: 1. Fail. Perhaps intimidated by Starbuck's reputation, it is never seen again.

At least it was well stocked. Starbuck's crisis card is:

Food Shortage
President's Choice

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