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

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

bury that crisis, please

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

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!

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

BSG

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.

Geez, Sickbay's getting crowded. I would volunteer for the Loyalty check, but we still have civvies in danger and not a lot of protection. Sending Six to Sickbay would be fun. She doesn't draw that many cards anyway, AND we don't really need to worry about waiting for Tigh to XO her since she can't, like, Reveal. Although she could jump back to the Resurrection Ship and do some damage, if she were so inclined. Which I don't think she is.

Actually, Tigh might be the best choice. We don't need him in Weapons Control now, and Starbuck trusts him enough to XO him on her turn.

the card specifies that Tigh chooses another player, so he can't choose himself. This is a brutal interrogation, not an opportunity for some aggressive soul-searching.

BSG (Tigh me kangaroo down)

If I send Roslin she's got a whole round to receive an XO.

I'm trying to decide between Roslin and Six. What does my crew think?

BSG(Sixstructive)

If you interrogate me, you lose the chance to check a Loyalty card. You know, like the President's?

Also, if I don't blow my Movement phase leaving Sickbay, I can boost my hand with Intimacy to help more with Skill Checks. AND XO somebody to start repairs.

Speaking of - who's in a position to head over to Pegasus and start fixing stuff?
