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.
BSG
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.
BSG (Starbuck)
Oh, really? Well, okay, then I'll Scout Destinations via LS-2
BSG
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.
BSG (Starbuck Stops Here)
President Roslin, ma'am, your decision and all but my losing 3 cards would be a hardship for our defense. Just so you know.
BSG (Roslin)
I'm apt to agree with Starbuck. I don' think we can afford to lose that many cards.
I choose OPTION 1.
May the gods be with us.
BSG (Roslin)
Also, shouldn't I have chosen between two crisis cards on my turn, or do I misunderstand how the visions work.
BSG (Dee)
Ooooops, no, you're right. You would have seen both those attacks, and we should only have gotten one.
BSG
Also, shouldn't I have chosen between two crisis cards on my turn, or do I misunderstand how the visions work.
Good point. You should, and it would've been a significant one, with you choosing between Boarding Parties and Surrounded. (I'm sure the rest of the crew would've been entirely understanding when you played an attack card on your very first turn.)
There's no easy way to rewind this, but what I can do is pass it forward to Tigh's turn. On his turn, you can choose between two crisis cards. How does that sound for a solution?
BSG (Dee)
Heh, I like that idea, since we're pretty sure he's human.
