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

Okay, we're in a weird position because we're riiiiight about to jump, and our civvies are not yet under attack, and we really need to get to New Caprica (to spring Tigh for free, if nothing else), so...let's hope this works.

I do not move and play CS-3.

Situation critical! First I LS-1 the Crisis Deck.

Pass on interrupts and cross my fingers.

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

BSG

Everyone else passes on interrupts too.

Die roll: 2. Fail! However, if someone plays a Calculations, they can make this roll a 3 for a pass. We will pause to see if anyone wants to play one.

Are you frakking kidding me? Grr.

Frak it all, I'm burning cards on this plan and hoping it's all worth it. I play Calcs-4 to add 1 to the roll.

Crisis card sent. When you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.

Per CO, Dee's regular action is:

Play Launch Scout 1 on the Destination Deck. Play Strategic Planning 3 on the die roll.

The roll therefore automatically succeeds. The top destination has also been sent. When you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.

Hoo boy, bury that Crisis. That was worth spending a Calcs on, thank goodness.

I think I'll bury that Destination as well. Hope for better choices when the time comes.

Crisis and Destination buried. They were pretty expensive scouting missions, though. Looks like the Admiral might have been redirecting resources from the vipers. Dee's crisis card is:

Weapon Malfunction
Skill Check (11 PRB)

Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Roslin plays first, Dee last.

Frak it all, no jump icon?? After all that work.

Pass on interrupts. I can help on this check, and I recommend playing Blue if you can.

For God's sake Gaius. Can't you pick up on a hint when I've been tramping through your neurons all season?

I play Jury Rigged-2.

Sorry. I was looking at your boobies. Oil flow was to the lower extremities, not to the neuro cortex.
