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.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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

They have nowhere to launch to until Galactica returns.

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.

Oh ahh. That makes it easy. I will not move and take two actions, both of which are the same action. I prep two ships!

I don't have much in the way of help from the Quorum right now but I'm hopefully that I can draw something good from that deck if I get a chance.
I'm also happy to see we have another pilot, we'll that shortly.

Two ships prepped. Two ships prepped and a power plant unattacked. Maybe it's time to do something about that. Kat's crisis is:

Thrive to spite them
Is the skill check GPB as it's listed here, or YPB like it's on the email?

Hey gang, I don't know if anyone here plays tabletop games using the HERO system, but Steve Long is doing a kickstarter project for Mythic Hero, which is intended to be a comprehensive encyclopedia of world mythologies for use in game settings.
Steve's a fellow mythology buff, and has been putting a ton of research into the project, especially for belief systems that don't get much exposure in game materials (like Pre-Columbian, North American Indian, and African cultures, and I've pointed him to resources on Mongolian/Turkic mythology and Patricia Monaghan's Encyclopedia of Goddesses and Heroines for a less patriarchal viewpoint). Even if you don't use this particular game system, the entries on the cosmologies of various religions and descriptions of the assorted gods, monsters, and heroes from mythology might be handy to have for your games, or interesting as recreational reading in general.
Please take a look and see if it's something you'd be interested in helping to support.
