All in black. Nothing else. Turns out the answer was... wait for it... Phelps. :: boogles mind :: Not even olympic rings or anything. Just... spell out the answer. And here I thought I cheat when I put "Meow" next to my poor attempt at a cat. Ah well. Cest la vie.

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

Dee heads to the Research Lab, to research stuff. Stuff like, why do things on this ship keep going boom? Dee's crisis card is:

Terrorist Investigations
Skill Check (12 YG)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

After that I'm thinking you might want to shoot me in the face.

Wow. The Battlestar gets a few holes in it and the Admiral gets suicidal.

(All jokes aside, I can't believe how brutal this game has been so far.)

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

I can't help with this check, and I think we should only go for the partial pass because it would be really, really bad if my Loyalty card gets checked.

Oh. My. God. He is an idiot! OK, my word was "Catwoman". I drew a cat head with whiskers, and meow, and a big plus sign, then the woman symbol (cross and circle thingy) and then drew a person in skirt with boobs and long blond hair. He almost had it, then gave up! Then for his word it was this:

El

ton

Whoa.

I can help a bit with the check, but not a ton. I would love the partial pass. I'd hate for morale to drop too low I die. But then again, I could come back as a pilot. But then we'd have to get morale down to 2 in a rapid fashion, and that would be bad.

ION - If you XO me, I can be of some use! (Finally!) ::mutters underbreath about how stupid the blue deck has been::

We're not going to last long enough for Morale to be an issue, don't worry. But I agree that a partial pass would be nice. So try, but don't try too hard.

I'll put up a token once I'm no longer in transit, but everyone passes on interrupts, and we can start the check. Baltar has no cards, so Cally plays first (0 or 2+ cards).

Administrative note: Destiny's play reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it.

Don't worry? Not last long enough? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain't over now! Cause when the going gets tough... The tough get goin'! Where's the spirit? This isn't the Gallactica I used to know. Now c'mon! Let's get those Cylons! Apollo, he's a dead "man"! Loeban, he's a dead "man"! Now? Who is with me!?!?!
