Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

Your prayers have been answered: askye has selected Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama! Here is everyone's starting card draw:

Adama: 1 Green, 2 Purple
Tory: 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Purple
Gaeta: 1 Green, 1 Purple, 1 Blue
Apollo: 1 Yellow, 2 Red

I have sent out loyalty cards and starting skill cards. The last thing we need is Apollo's starting position. Apollo, you may begin in either Sector 5 or Sector 6. When you're ready, please post your choice. When we have that, we will be ready for Kat to take her first turn!

You cover Sector 5, Lee. I'm going to launch into Sector 6 and move to Sector 1. And probably end up in Sickbay, but, remember, I'm doing this for you.

Excellent, Sector 1 just became a target-rich environment. Who told Kat it was safe to be out there just now? That person could be looking for a briggening. kat's crisis is:

Guilt by Collusion
Skill Check (9 GP)

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

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

BSG (Press Secretary to President)

Wow. Um, Wasn't expecting this. OK. Wow.

ladies & gentlemen of the fleet, we have a test here. Neither option is great. Given the last round, and losing on morale, I think we should be wary of tanking. But passing and brigging isn't exactly a great thing either.

That said, if we go for it, I can help a bit with the check.

The Gods of Kobol have sent me a vision. A clarifaction. If we pass, Kat isn't required to brig anyone. she MAY brig someone. So, let's go for this! Let's pass it!

BSG (Kat)

Yeah, there's no reason for me to brig anyone at this point, so let's save that Morale. I can help. Let's try not to overplay, though.

I can help very little.
