I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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

BSG (Boomer)

Ah, right, good point. In which case maybe you and Gaeta aren't clear of Cylonity!

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

BSG (Tory)

Maybe! But probably not. We should find out soon.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (6)

Yeah, that's a good call.

I didn't spike it, especially as I've been spending my time doing repairs, it would have been counter-productive to me. I do have an agenda, of course, but I assure you, I am on the human side of things.

There are lots of things the others could be doing, or trying to be doing. But this definitely was a spike, although the numbers do not show proof positive who it was. It could have been two positive cards from Anders and one negative from Boomer, or one positive card each from Anders and Boomer and one negative from Anders.

But yeah, the conflicted interests adds a lot of huh to this game.

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

BSG

By CO, Tory plays an SP-3 on the die roll.

Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Pass!

Mr Gaeta, do you want to use your reroll?

Very well. The Fleet jumps successfully! Destination options are going out to the Admiral now. When you're ready, please post your choice.

Skulls? Come in Skulls, your last transmission cut off. Skulls? Hotdog? SKULLS!

People of the Fleet, the good news is, we've reached a Remote Planet at a cost of half the expected Fuel. The bad news is, we've picked up a crashed Raptor on the surface. Memorial services for Skulls and Hotdog will be at eight bells tomorrow.

The fleet jumps! You have now reached 6 Distance. Naturally, the President is taking all the credit. She's even started telling people she's some kind of Messiah figure. Tory's crisis is:

Fulfiller of Prophecy
Current Player's Choice

Due to Tory's weakness, she takes Option 1. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

BSG(President Messiah, I like the sound of that)

What does every prophecy need? An Investigative Committee! An IC-3, in fact.

Also some Guts and Initative-1

I can help a lot on this check, but if y'all can chip in a little it would be good.
