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

BSG (President)

MOVE: I move to the Presidents Office.

ACTION: I play Green XO-1 and order Kat to save those Civvies.

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

BSG

Kat, you have received a CO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Kat)

I activate Comms.

Come in, Civvies C and F! Yeah, I don't know why I can only talk to two of you at a time either, but look, I'm almost down from my meds and LIFE JUST SUCKS but it's going to suck a lot more for you unless you tell me what's on your frakking ships.

BSG (Kat)

Civvie C, join your friends in Sector 5.

Civvie F? Civvie F? ANYONE HOME? Civvie F? Oh, go give the Heavy Raiders something to look at over in Sector 1.

For my second action, I LS-1 the Crisis Deck.

Civvies moved, and scout launched. Let's see how it does.

Die roll: 5. Pass. The top card of the crisis deck is being sent now. Kat, when you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the crisis deck.

It's gone. Let's see if this is more to your taste. Tory's crisis card is:

Keep Tabs on Visitor
Current Player's Choice

Ooh, Current Player's Choice on Tory's turn! Due to her weakness, she chooses Option 1. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Gaeta plays first, Tory last.

BSG (Katastrophe)

Well, fraaaak. Yay for the jump icon, but we really need to pass that check, and we just overplayed one! Gah. I can still help; how about everyone else?

Pass on interrupts, though.

(Alternatively, if we don't think we can actually pass it, take our chances with the die roll and an SP, if someone has one?)

Frak. That last overplay was a bit much. C'mon people, it was an open check! Ok, I've given CO's for another IC. I can help a lot with this check. And given the reckless nature, we won't have destiny thwarting us. I am confident we can get this check, get that jump icon, and jump to safety!! Now let's keep cool heads, and do this thing!!!

This check will kill my hand, but when we jump clear, it will be worth it!!
