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

It was so close. I won it because Sean didn't keep me from buying a Colony.

BSG (Boomer)

I play SP-4.

BSG (Six)

Okay, with Anders' contribution, that should do it, I think, so I pass.

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

I have COs from the remaining players:

Resistance: 12 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Ellen: Declare Emergency 5
Cally: Consolidate Power 1, Launch Scout 1
Gaeta: Launch Scout 2
Boomer: Strategic Planning 4
Six: 0 cards
Anders: Launch Scout 2

Regrettably, Destiny is against you. It adds:

Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Scientific Research 4

Tally: 15 - 5 = 10. Partial Pass. Everyone passes on playing a DE. At least you saved the Fuel, but Food drops by 1.

Anders' turn ends with a heavy raider launching from the basestar, and the jump track taking its first step. Ellen's cards are going out. President Tigh, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Six)

Ouch, Destiny! Well, at least it's a partial pass. Fuel is so important.

BSG (President Tigh)

OK, ragtag fleet, what do we need to do? I'm thinking destroying raiders, basestars etc., is more important than we're used to, so maybe we should work on that. And repairing some of our fancy new vipers seems like a good idea.

I could just build up the Quorum or my hand, also.

So, what do we think, potentially trustworthy to some extent people?

::gives Six a little extra side-eye::

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Six)

By which I think you mean, wholly trustworthy me and also maybe some other, potentially trustworthy to some extent, people.

::gives Ellen the svelte head-tilt of assurance, one totally trustworthy assertive blonde to another::

I would agree that combat is going to be quite important on this ride, and therefore, the quicker we can get going on all that metal in the skies, the better.

BSG (Boomer)

I have magic powers when I'm in the sky. Also, I want to use a card before I have to play it into a check.

BSG (Ellen)

Oh, so you do. And a card burning a hole in your flightsuit, eh? Well, that is pretty persuasive.

Let's see, where am I again? Admiral's Quarters? But ... Felix ... huh, I have no memory of how that might have happened but I'm sure it was a good idea at the time. Well, no sense in sticking around here. Where to go, where to go...

OK, cats and kittens, I move to the Research Lab, adroitly slip that cute Mr. Anders a card, take 1Y and 1G for myself and XO-1 Boomer.

Go get 'em, CAG!
