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

BSG (Kat)

Frak it, let's live dangerously.

I move to FTL and press the button.

Listen up, civvies, I've got this SP-3 here, so don't get left behind!

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

BSG

Such audacity! Kat hits the button:

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail! By CO, Gaeta uses his reroll:
Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Pass! The fleet arrives safely. But where have you jumped to? Destinations are going out for the Admiral's decision. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Well, we went for the long shot and made it, but we seem to have come out right next to a Derelict Basestar. I suggest shootination be made a priority.

The basestar has suffered Structural Damage. This jump sees the fleet reach the Sleeper Phase. New loyalty cards will go out shortly, and then we'll move on to Kat's crisis card.

Come on, Admiral, can't you ever take us some place quiet?

Apparently the Admiral thinks this is someplace quiet. Quiet enough, at least, to stop and conduct some R&D. Kat's crisis card is:

Analyse Enemy Fighter
Current Player's Choice

Kat, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Well, that's an easy choice! I choose Option 2.

The die roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

It's been 24 hours since this crisis card began, which is long enough. everyone passes on interrupts. Let's see if Kat's approach of "I wonder what this button does?" works.

Die roll: 1. Fail. Kat hits the self-destruct button, and Population falls by 1.

The raider activation launches two raiders from the damaged basestar. Finally, the jump track starts on its way towards the next jump.

That concludes Kat's turn. Adama's cards are going out. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
