Serial: Volstagg from the Warriors Three has joined the hunt!!!! I am terribly excited by this development.
Laga and some others have been ponderign what characters to play. Right now, I have no female characters. Female players, but not characters.
If anyone wants to take up Buffy Summers, Lilah Morgan, Veronica Mars Elizabeth Bennet (or Jane Austen herself), I'd be totally into it.
Also, if anyone is looking for a male character, can I suggest Buckaroo Bonzai?
I'm definitely planning to play a female. Trying to decide between Moaning Myrtle, Gaz from Invader Zim, and (once I remember her name) the daughter from Time Traveller's Wife... or maybe I'll choose someone else. But a female for sure.
Yowza. Those are all excellent choices!

People of the Fleet, we have arrived at the
Cylon Refinery.
Viper pilots, scramble your fighters. We need that Fuel, or we're never going anywhere, ever again.
Please tell me someone has an SP for this roll.......

Please tell me someone has an SP for this roll.......
Looking at the last check, I'd say the Olympic Carrier has one. Alas, everyone else passes on interrupts. If this die roll fails, game over!

The fleet lives to fight another day. Today, probably. You have now reached 8 Distance; the next jump will win the game for the humans!

End-of-turn summary:
Apologies, posted too quickly. Proper summary coming soon.
BSG (Boomer)
Holy crap, I can't believe we're still alive. Okay, so we need to repair FTL Control and jump ASAP.
Anders and I should both be in Hangar Deck now, right? Shouldn't all the Cylon ships be gone?
BSG
End of turn summary. Note that the heavy raider activation both advanced the Lannisters, and launched new heavy raiders from the basestars. Which then went straight to the CFB.

OK wow this is very exciting. We might actually make it. I did not receive an XO. Should I launch myself and another viper so we're ready should the cylon fleet catch up?
