No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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

I regret to advise that the Admiral does not play an SP-3 after all. (I also suggest that SPs wait until Baltar has decided what he's shooting at. You can of course send me COs.)

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

BSG (Adama)

Oops, sorry about that

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

Ok, orders from Baltar; he shoots at the heavy raider. Cally plays an SP-5 on the roll:

Die roll: 1 + 2 = 3. Miss.

Ok. Maybe we should get someone in Weapons Control with experience in actual weapons. Meanwhile, Baltar's crisis card is:

The Passage
Current Player's Choice

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

Hmm. That was not so great.

So for this crisis, what do you think? We've heard that the only civvies on the board are valuable ones, is that right? Do we even want to risk them?

If the check fails, two civilian ships are destroyed from the reserves. The ones on the board are safe (from this).

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.

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

BSG (Cally)

I wouldn't be able to help on the skill check if we go for it (I was saving that SP-5 to use on a check BUT BALTAR SUCKS AT SHOOTING).

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Baltar)

I got distracted.. there was this...vision.. I mean speck in my eye. Perhaps I should go to sick bay...

I'm willing to go to sick bay to save cards/ships.
