omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Is it warm in here, or is it just me. Wait a second. It IS just me. I could have sworn there was a hot woman in a red dress in here. What the.... What did that nuke blast do to my brain.

(bt, I'm guessing you tell me which card was pinched)?

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

BSG

Cards sent. Six appears in the Research Lab. After some rigorous application of the scientific method, Dr Baltar ascertains that the rest of the crew can see her too. Caprica Six is infiltrating! That means that she now counts as human for most purposes, including drawing a crisis card. Hey, looks like that last jump wasn't as smooth as you thought. Six' crisis card is:

Rescue the Fleet
Admiral's Choice

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

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

BSG (Dee-stressed)

Oh, frak. Normally, I would say to take the Pop hit, but we've seen what happens on New Caprica. I think Option 2 is it. No rest for the wicked. I'm in Comms, ready to send ships to their doom.

Safety. I mean safety.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Phew, I don't even know. It'd be nice to have a little time to breath before we're under attack, but 2 Pop does seem like a lot.

I should be able to cover these putative civvies with the same protection offered before the jump if ordered into space. So that's something, I guess.

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

BSG (Tigh me to the moon)

Right, this is the kind of population loss that could be Very Bad by the time we get to New Caprica. I choose option 2.

don't know what you people are whining about. You could be dead and then how happy would you be?

BSG

Aw, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Morale falls by 1 as the fleet realises "no man left behind" means "people not me".

The new raiders activate immediately. Finally the jump track advances. That concludes Six' turn. Baltar's cards are going out. Dr Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Tigh the friendly skies)

I'm thinking an XO to Cally or Starbuck would be awesome. We need to get some protection for those civvies. But if you don't draw an XO Dee can move the civvies on her turn. Perhaps repair a viper or launch a scouting mission?

BSG (Dee-fensive)

I vote Starbuck, as we want her in the sky by her turn anyway.
