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

BSG

It can go anywhere except Sector 4. You can't put it in a Sector that already has a Civvie.

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

BSG (Anders)

oh! Huh. OK, sector 5 then. I'll watch over it.

Sector 5 it is. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Adners' turn. Torys cards are going out. President Foster, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

I have word from the President, who's having some difficulty posting. Her orders are:

Move: play Critical Situation 4
Activate the President's Office

A Quorum card has been sent. Tory may now either draw another Quorum card, or play one from her hand. President Foster, when you're ready, please post (or CO) your orders.

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

BSG (Boomer)

So I'm back from Comic-Con and I suppose it's time to wave my arms and ask if anyone would be willing to let me out of this cell. Still human, want to get back in the sky and bring some civvies home (sadly without CAG powers, sigh).

I have the rest of Tory's orders. With an announcement of "Executive privilege, bitches, I haz it!", she plays Accept Prophecy. This card allows her to draw 1 skill card of any colour. Her Adaptable ability lets her draw another two. She has opted to draw 3 Purple.

For her second action, she has activated the President's Office again, and drawn another two Quorum cards. The Quorum's been coming up with some interesting ideas to deal with the Cylons. "Why don't we, you know... Kill them all?" Why indeed? Tory's crisis card is:

Cylon Genocide
Current Player's Choice

Due to Tory's weakness, she chooses option 1, so you will be going for the skill check. Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

Um, I can't help at all on this check, which comes at a very inconvenient time.

Maybe tank? Although putting all those ships on the Fleet board wouldn't be good either.

Does anyone think we can pass this? I'm considering using my OPG, although it would have been more fun if passing actually did something.

Pass on interrupts.

I can help a little but I don't think we can pass the check.

Admninistrative note: Tory's draw from her Quorum card play exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
