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

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

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.

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

If it can go in Secrtor 4, that's good. Otherwise, Sector 3.

BSG (Anders)

Oh man I don't even know. Can I launch, CAG a MkVII and for my bonus action, XO Tory? Oh frak... what if she's a cylon? I think we should escort civvies. Unless someone has a better idea. I'll pause for just a few hours for input from the rest of team human.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I think my refresh button is broken. I keep hitting it, but the game is paused. Bad internet. No cookie!

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

BSG (Boomer)

Tory's not a Cylon; you're a Cylon! XO away! Or escort civvies because the Cylon fleet is about to jump in and destroy us.

SG (Anders)

yeah I'm afraid I'll get sleepy and forget to post (been working early morning shifts all week)

I'm going to go ahead and escort civvies. Let's see if I remember how this CAG thing works.

I Launch into Sector 6 in a MkVII for my bonus launch action I order the other MkVII launched into Sector 5 and for my bonus CAG action I Escort Civvie D home.

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

BSG (Tory )

Argh, you totally should have XOd me. Although I understand why you didn't but really, would have been a good thing. Then I could have XOd you on my turn to escort like crazy. Fun for everybody.

Civvie D disappears from the board. Apparently Anders has started some kind of escort service? Civvie D is making claims of some inappropriate touching, anyway. Anders' crisis is:
