This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

BSG (Adama)

I can help a lot with the skill check. I choose Option 1

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

BSG (Cally)

I can help a lot too. Let's blow up Magnus!

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

First, Adama has a request. He doesn't wish to have moved to the Hangar Deck, and would rather move to Command. The decision was due to a rules misunderstanding (concerning the CAG title) and nothing terribly material concerning his location has happened since, so I'm willing to consider it; however, the move to the Hangar Deck was a valid order and we've had an XO and a crisis card since. I'm going to ask the rest of the players, then, how they feel about it. Everyone, please send me an email as to your opinion.

Back to the check. Dee plays an SR-3; everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins!

Set a Trap: 10 GP(B1)

Destiny: 2 cards
Dee: 2 cards
Baltar: 3 cards
Cally: 2 cards
Leoben: 1 card

Apollo is up next.

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

Should that be Set a Trap: 10 GP(B,1)?

Did Adama think he had to be in a Viper to use CAG powers? I was wondering that. I'm fine having him in Command instead; I mean, it's not like he can do anything there anyway.

By the way, I thought I'd raise the topic: anyone want to get shot in the face and come back as a pilot?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollotron)

I play one card.

And I don't care, I'm ok with Adama moving. It's old dad, he gets coonfused sometimes.

Adama is last to play. It looks like no one has a problem with him changing his move, so Adama moves to Command instead. (Which is currently broken anyway, of course.)

AS I log in D says, "Are you guys still alive?"

yes, Cally managed to repair a location

Hee. Here's the full play:

Set a Trap: 10 GP(1)

Destiny: 2 cards
Dee: 2 cards
Baltar: 3 cards
Cally: 2 cards
Leoben: 1 card
Apollo: 1 card
Adama: 2 cards

Cards played:

Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 5
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Launch Scout 2
Critical Situation 5
Calculations 4
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 1
Evasive Manoeuvre 1
Red Tape 0
Best of the Best 6
Human Weakness 3

The RT-0 discards all cards of value 5 or higher; which gets rid of the At Any Cost 5, Critical Situation 5 and the Best of the Best 6. That leaves us:

Tally: 15 - 3 = 12. Pass! Magnus Greel is destroyed!

Adama's turn ends with the raiders advancing. Dee starts her turn in Sickbay, so she can only draw one card. She has chosen to draw Blue. Dee, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
