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

(I know... can't do that)

Well, you can't. Everyone else is welcome. But Leoben would have to be the first one through the door.

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

Oh! What is she playing?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dixit. And I didn't even have time to make it to the fun geek!celebrity gameplay part yet, but the two-minute intro to the game looks absolutely awesome.

ZOMG. MUST WATCH.

Dixit is superfun, and Beth Riesgraf playing Dixit sounds amazing.

The basestar fires:

Die roll: 7. Hit! Hangar Deck damaged. At one time it was all that kept Galactica flying, now the Cylons have had their revenge.

Finally, the raiders advance again. That concludes Cally's turn. Leoben has opted to draw 1 Politics and 2 Treachery for his turn.

[Ahem] Leoben has asked me to read a prepared statement. We shall not be taking any questions at this time.

My fellow Galacticans

You can tell that I think of myself as a Galactican by the number of cards I just drew. You may be wondering, "why so much Treachery?" I'll get to that in a moment.

First, think back to when I first arrived. There was so little hope in this ragtag fleet, and so much damage. Granted, much of that damage I had personally inflicted, but that is not the point. The point is, look around at this relatively space-worthy vessel and ask yourself, are you better off now than you were before I infiltrated?

Of course you are.

I couldn't help but feel I could do more, so I went to the Quorum and asked how I could serve Galactica further - perhaps the CAGmirdent would appreciate an easier to pronounce title, for example. They asked me for a birth certificate, which, as I understand it, is only held by those who are, if you will excuse the expression, born. Such a narrow outlook, humanity. Naturally, I tried to explain that perhaps my paperwork was lost with Pegasus, but they were intractable.

Therefore I am, as the saying goes, taking my toys and going home. Try to stay alive for a little while without me, I know that's hard for you metal-deficient types.

The Leobenator

Leoben does the GetFoG and ends his infiltration. He pops back up on the Resurrection Ship.

That concludes Leoben's turn. Apollo is up next. Apollo, what would you like for your card draw?
