Cards have gone out. Alas, Dee
really had her heart set
on attacking the power plant. The news that it's not going ahead sees her give in to despair. The Admiral sends a powerful message to the entire fleet by offing herself. She discards:
Trust Instincts 0
Trust Instincts 0
Repair 2
Calculations 3
She also reveals four loyalty cards, which state:
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON
The Admiralty returns to Tigh as ace pilot Louanna "Kat" Katrainne emerges from Dee's shadow. Finally, the jump track advances; and look at that, it's Kat's turn right now! Har cards are going out. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

And of course I dumped the Quorum card that would have let us trade Food for Morale. Let's hope we can keep our spirits up until we can get out of here.

Yes, but only in one direction. It would only let you lower Morale still further.

Oh heh, I remembered it backwards. Perhaps our prez has an inspirational speech up her sleeve.
saying it once is enough. I'll use the extra post to say: isn't it interesting that both our Admiral and President have been stripped of and restored their titles this game.
BSG (Kat not Dee)
Hi, guys! Sorry I'm late, looks like everything is going all right except we're all sad. Okay, so I
move to Occupation Authority
because OMG AREN'T THESE PILLS GREAT
and then I
XO-1 Tigh
to prep some more ships!
BSG (Tigh)
Do we want to prep tham all and then start launching or launch as they are prepped? We have two ready to launch right now.

They have nowhere to launch to until Galactica returns.
BSG (Kat)
I don't think we can evacuate until
Galactica
comes back. The thing about evacuating is that we get a free evac with jump prep when the ship comes back, and we can also use evac as a ticket out later. So I think it's more important to get as many prepped as we can before the ship returns.
I have hazy memories of my past life, and I would say we should get at least 4 ships out (and all humans off the rock) before we jump. We haven't seen any decoys destroyed or any 2 Pop ships destroyed, which means it's kind of a crapshoot what we'll be taking with us. Not to mention the ships that have other resources on them. I just know that we likely won't have time to get all the ships off.
