Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Yay!

I will make note here that I am in my summer fundraising trip, so there will definitely be days when I am slow to respond, at least through the next three weeks or so. I should always be able to check in daily or more, but for conversations, I might lag a little as we get started here. I will do my best to be prompt. If that's a problem for anyone, I can step out now and catch the next game.

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

chrismg is next. You can take a military leader, a Cylo leader or a support character (aside from Cally).

Which category does Gaeta fall into?

Eh, I'll take him either way.

I choose Caprica Six and draw 1G/1B.

Looks like it's going to be a wild ride, kiddoes.

P-C playing Boomer? Should we just throw her out the airlock now?

Also, Felix will take 1P/1B/1Y.

Please welcome the crew of Buffistica 14! And a proud group they are too. The fleet's title holders are:

Admiral: Felix Gaeta
President: Ellen Tigh
CAG: Sharon "Boomer" Valerii

For those who are interested, they rank fifth, fifth and fourth in their respective orders of succession. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, we're about to find out, as the game is about to begin! Starting cards and loyalties are going out now. The first player is Samuel T. Anders. Because of his weakness, he does not draw any skill cards on his first turn. Mr Anders, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
