Let them eat octo-cake.

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

BSG (Boomer)

Nope, Option 2 is the way to go. Also, let's destroy that basestar if we can! Otherwise our damage will be for naught!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Six)

I agree with Option 2. Both options suck, but spreading the suck around is probably the best way to go...wait, did that sound dirty?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Ellen)

Oh, whoops, I totally got distracted by something shiny. Let's make Option 2 official. Sorry nameless, faceless Galacticans! I hope this doesn't mean we're going all Soylent Greeen, that is terrible for my complexion.

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

BSG

Food falls by 1, and only avoids falling by another 1 due to Population also falling by 1, but it's nothing to do with cannibalism, ok? Ellen made a campaign promise about it and everything.

Finally, the raiders and jump track both advance. That concludes Ellen's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Boom Goes the Dynamite)

Well, those Raiders are going after those civvies, so let's go protect them.

I move to Sector 5 and CAG a Viper to Sector 4 and action-move to Sector 4.

Boomer organises the defences. "That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo!" she proudly proclaims. Boomer's crisis card is:

Mysterious Message

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

BSG (Boom-yah)

Although Option 1 is tempting, I don't think we need to be blowing cards on it when our other option is completely harmless, thanks to Gaeta. I choose Option 2.

BSG

The Cylons react to the message with a unanimous "The who with the what now?" No effect.

Finally, raiders and jump track advance once again. That concludes Boomer's turn. Her recon is going out. Six has opted to draw 1G/1B for her turn. Cards are going out now.
