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

Fireworks are fun, as long as its not your bird being blown up. Not to say don't blow stuff up, I'm just saying repairs are getting high on the list too. Dee, do you have any repair cards?

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

BSG (Dee-mented)

I sure do, but I'd like to get the Comms intel before leaving my post.

I think I like the nuke plan. Things are getting hairy out there.

True. I wouldn't want to use both of them, though. We should try to save at least one for the Final Battle. But that's fine since Tigh is in Weapons Control for a second action.

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

BSG (Tigh, Destroyer of Basestars)

I will not move and launch a Nuke into Sector 1.

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 have COs from Starbuck to play a Strategic Planning 3.

Die roll: 6 + 2 = 8. Both basestars destroyed! Tigh has left COs: Play a Major Victory 2. I have COs from Dee to play a Strategic Planning 4.

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail.

For Tigh's second action, he has left COs to play a Launch Scout 1. Everyone passes on SPs this time.

Die roll: 8. Pass!

The top card of the crisis deck is being sent. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.

What do I have to do to cheer you people up?

bury that crisis, please

BSG (Dee-lighted)

Nice shooting, Tigh and Starbuck! You make a good team! Wait, this is completely non-canonical.

Boo, Major Victory fail.

Die roll: 8. Pass!

Does that mean we blow up the entire Crisis Deck?

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Well, MY morale is raised. Two basestars with one nuke! BAD ASS!

Boo, Major Victory fail.

Right? You blew up TWO BASESTARS. What does it take to impress this jaded MTV generation?

Does that mean we blow up the entire Crisis Deck?

Yes! All the soft and squishy crisis cards, anyway. Fortunately, the attack cards are made of sterner stuff, so that's all that's left in the deck now.

Meanwhile! Roslin is experiencing some Religious Visions. (We remembered this time!) President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice of crisis.

Roslin has chosen, and the Admiral is pissed. (Pissed off, to be clear.) He destroyed TWO BASESTARS, and no one cares! Obviously someone in the crew has been insufficiently enthusiastic in describing his basestar-busting prowess, and he's going to get to the bottom of it. Roslin's crisis card is:

Interrogation
Admiral's Choice

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