Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

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

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.

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.

BSG (If you like anything, you will LOVE NEXTWAVE! BOOM!)

We will keep that Crisis on top.

I would like to point out that the auto-jump is imminent, so we need to take out that basestar posthaste. An XO to Gaeta could potentially take out the basestar AND the heavy.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Anders n cooper)

I agree with Boomer. Plus, fireworks are pretty.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Six)

Yup. But much as I like to think so, I'm not actually entirely human. (You may not have noticed, because of my soft and lovely appearance.) So I cannot yet XO or be XO'd, although I will shortly put myself in position to do so. So since that's the case, let's see if I can help you out with exactly where that jump will land you.

I move to the Human Fleet and scout the Destination Deck. That also allows me to draw 1Y/1B.
