I don't see my card draw. Maybe it's a problem with my email client at the moment?

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

BSG

For a moment I was worried I'd sent it to someone else. Re-sent.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Actually, I did find it finally, not a problem on your side. One moment.

Well, crap. I didn't see where we'd lost our last raptor. Dagnabbit. AND I played my last XO and didn't draw another, so I can't hit you, Tory.

I think the best thing I can do at the moment is move to Main Batteries and play R2 to repair them.

Six snubs Tory and brings Pegasus back from the brink! A grateful populace acclaims her as a hero! Soon posters demanding Six assume the Presidency (bearing the slogan "She's Just Like You, Only Sexier") appear throughout the fleet. A write-in campaign sees her swept to power! Which is odd, because there wasn't even an election scheduled. The frak? Six' crisis is:

Suspicious Election Results
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

Ha ha ha, that is a silly Crisis. With your hand, Option 2 may actually HELP you.

As much as holding the Presidency would?

Well, that's assuming he wants to be President. Heavy is the head that wears the Pradmiral's crown.

Man, I'm really uncomfortable with Anders's being CAG.

Hey, at least he knows which team he's on. The President has been acting just a little too much like a [Cylon / human] (delete whichever one the Admiral is) for comfort.

Gaeta has chosen! He issues a press release: "She's a Cylon, you twits! She's not allowed to be President! And you have to wait for an election anyway. Tory's still President, got it?" The Admiral chooses option 2.

He discards a Broadcast Location 1, and draws a new Treachery card.

Next, raiders activate. A new raider appears on the CFB in... Sector 2. The pursuit track advances to step 3, where the CAG must place two civilian ships. One has to go in Sector 1, being the last civvie-free sector; as there are now civilian chips in every sector, the second civvie may go in any sector. Mr Anders, when you're ready, please post your choice.

That concludes Six' turn. Anders has opted to draw 1R for his optional draw. I will wait for Mr Anders to place the second civvie before sending his cards.
