I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

I didn't draw an XO, so that's no good. Frak.

Fine. I will not move and fire on Raiders. Right in the glowing eyes, you metal bastards!

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

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

BSG (Dee-pressed)

Oh fraaaaaak. Tigh, hope you can XO me. And hope Raiders don't activate. And if they do, hope civvie G is a decoy.

Pass on interrupts.

BSG (here's mud in your Tigh)

It's not a decoy, it's my booooze!

(j/k... I have no idea what's in that ship but this is the kind of civilian loss that's not as awful if we're headed for New Caprica, right?)

I cannot promise an XO at this time but I do draw 2 green.

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

BSG (Persecuted Doctor)

Thanks for not shooting me. I realize I draw an extra card and all, but there is a high probability they are BOTH human! Jeez, what's a fella gotta do to prove he's NOT a skin job. I haven't said anything up till now, figuring actions would speak louder than words. But frakin A. I fix the bloody vipers. I get 12 extra cards at the start of the game when cards are scarce. I verify humanism. I don't go all medievil when you double turn me with an XO. No spiked checks! What the frak!!

If you really think I'm a skin job, then you better think Starbuck is too. It's only logical, why would a skin job not out another?? To cause havoc, of course!! ::rolls eyes::

For the record, Starbuck is NOT a Cylon, and neither am I.

JUST LOOK AT ALL WE HAVE DONE!!!!

With that rant done, I feel much better. So why's everyone scrambling around so much??

:: looks out window ::

Holy mother of Gods. What the Frak!! I got nothin. No interrupts, no repairs. I'm bloody useless. Might as well shoot me. Frak!!!

Sweet mother of cellphones.

Isn't this like the fourth game in a row we've only had one Pilot?

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

BSG

Third game. Dee can take up some of the slack, though (as long as you don't draw Jammed Assault). Pilot is the least popular category on BGG, so it's not too surprising. Actually, overall the four most popular characters in the games over here have all drawn Piloting (the three base game pilots and Helo), so their relative popularity is more of an anomaly.

Back to the action! Starbuck has left orders to shoot on the raiders twice:

Attack 1: 1. Miss.
Attack 2: 4. Hit!

One raider destroyed. Gosh, wouldn't it be unfortunate if the next crisis was another attack?

...Ok, it's not another attack. Starbuck's crisis is:

Food Shortage
President's Choice

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

Frakkity frak. Please don't make me discard 3 cards. Two I could manage, three would be painful. Especially with the Raider activation in the wings.

BSG (Dee-pendent)

Ergh. Didn't we take the double Food hit last time? It won't be long before Food gets to be a problem, and if Roslin is a Cylon, it'll be easy for her to starve Team Human to death.

Oh my God, this Raider activation could be brutal, though. I hope you can Run Interference. If you have to discard, keep that one!

Even if I have to discard, most of the civvies should be okay this activation. Can't see what to do about G over there. Sorry, guys.

The Raider activation after this one is going to be ugly, though. Draw an XO, Tigh!
