Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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

BSG (Cally)

Hush, you!

If Adama has the cards to get you out, then I say do it, but I can't help at all.

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

BSG (Adama)

I'm afraid I'm not certain I have enough power to spring you, Dee and I don't want to spend cards if it's not a sure thing.

It would be good if we could repair some more but since noone volunteered I'm not sure we have those cards either. I'm going to go with moving the civvies and not move and play an XO-1 on Cally.

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

BSG

Cally, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

We will probably have to wait until my turn to spring you, Dee, so that we actually have cards. Leoben's switched sides again, so I don't know whether he'll help or hurt; if the latter, we're outnumbered.

Meanwhile, I will remain here and activate Comms twice.

Come in, Cersei and Daenerys. This is Cally with the device. Yes, the device. Apparently "thing" isn't military protocol. Yes, I am the same Cally. No, I am not a Cylon. Baltar is a Cylon. No, I'm not surprised either. Look, just move to Sector 5, okay?

Have you been listening to the situation, Eddard ? Please submit your manifests immediately.

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

BSG (DeeTained)

That's the sound of the (wo)men, working on the chain... gaaaeeeaang. Doncha know, that's the sound of the (wo)men, working on the chain...gaaaang.

I understand. I don't want to waste cards (again) trying to spring me.

thirty days in the hole! That's what they give you now. Thirty days in the hole. Oh Yeah. Thirty Days In the hole!

Hey gaoler! Can a gal get something to eat? I'm a little hungry.

Damn, my life is a blues song. My hubby is a skin job, the president blocked my exit, because HE's a skin job, and I'm stuck in the pokey, alone, and now hungry. If I had a dog, I suppose that toaster of a husband would have stuck him in the microwave, just to spite me. And then my life would be a country/western song too.

BSG (Apollon)

You can always come over to our side, sweetie. There's always room for at least a sympathizer.

I wouldn't have hurt the fictional dog! I'm insulted you should imply that.

If you had a dog, it'd probably have been a toaster too.

Anyway. Ships' manifests have been sent to Dee. Dee, when you're ready, please post where to move civvie E. You can also move either ship C or D again if you wish.

It's a party in Sector 5, Eddard, trust me! They have lamprey pie and everything. Yes, space lampreys. Just get over there.

Civvie E slides over to join the other civvies in Sector 5. Wasn't that a beautiful piece of piloting? Let's see that again... in slow motion. Adama's crisis card is:

Review Camera Footage

CAGmident Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Ergggh, those are not good choices. If you discard all those cards, we're not getting Dee out. But damaging Vipers is not good either, although we can escort a civvie home with that Viper activation (and Eddard really wants to go back to Winterfell, I'm just saying).
