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

BSG (Cally)

No, one more. They can board in Sector 6.

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

BSG (DeeFense)

OK, I have the manifests for those civilian ships. We will NOT MOVE THEM at this time.

Apollo & RSV, keep tight to those civilian ships. Defend!!

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

BSG

The ships stay where they are. Nothing changes. Sounds like time for a similarly bland crisis. Dee's crisis card is:

Food Shortage
President's Choice

President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your choice.

OK, this might be bland but, this early. Eep. Cards are a bit of a premium here, but 1/4 of the food gone? Yikes. I vote for option 2. My card choices CO have been sent.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Baltar)

For my first President-y type thing I go for Option 2

Also, even though Leobon is being totally evil at least we don't have to wonder when the Cylon Leader is going to turn on us. It's just the hidden one(s) we have to flush out.

Food falls by 1; Baltar, who has only one card, discards:

Red Tape 0

Dee discards:

Trust Instincts 0
Launch Scout 2
Establish Network 0

The raiders advance on the civvies; finally, the jump track finally gets moving. That concludes Dee's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (dee)

wow, 5 turns to get the jump track to advance. This will take awhile.

OK team human. Let's keep an eye on Sector 4. We need to keep those civvie ships safe. And that heavy is in striking distance. If we fire on the Cylons, I think the little ships are the bigger danger right now.

BSG (Cally)

That is a good point, although I want to destroy that basestar before we leave, or they'll just FIX it.

So you think I should fire on the Heavy instead? Those things are hard to kill.

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

BSG (Leoben)

Maybe you should be wondering when I will suddenly start helping you.
