"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Six)

I play one card.

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

BSG

I have a few COs to contribute:

Hangar Accident: 10 PRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Boomer: 1 card
Six: 1 card
Anders: 2 cards
Tory: 2 cards
Cally: 1 card
Gaeta: (max 3 cards)

Gaeta to finish the check.

I have everyone's orders.

Hangar Accident: 10 PRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Boomer: 1 card
Six: 1 card
Anders: 2 cards
Tory: 2 cards
Cally: 1 card
Gaeta: 1 card

Cards played:

Launch Scout 1
Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Maximum Firepower 3
Repair 1
Red Tape 0
Political Prowess 6
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 5
Sabotage 3

Tally: 7 - 7 = 0. Fail! The Red Tape awesomely kills off 11 negative points, but it can't add more positive points. Population falls by 1, and the last two vipers in reserves (a pair of Mk IIs) are damaged!

So, I imagine the humans are looking at the board right now, and thinking "We simply do not have enough things to worry about. There should be more things to worry about." (I imagine a lot of things.) Fortunately, the heavy raider activation is here to help. Joffrey moves to step 1 of the boarding party track, while Cersei and Jaime board Galactica right behind him.

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Gaeta's turn. Boomer's cards are going out. Boomer, when you're ready, please post your orders.

Administrative note: Boomer's card draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Ah, there's our customary spikage again. And a lot of it.

Frakking Lannisters.

Frakking Lannisters.

It is pretty much their defining characteristic.

That and paying their debts.

It does make for a more badass slogan than "A Lannister always keeps it in the family".

That slogan was already taken by the Targaryens

On BSG Topic; at least we aren't being attacked by dragons?
