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

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

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

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
CAG's Choice

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).

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

Given how hard it is for us to escort folks home, I'm hesitant to add more civvies to the board.

True, but the Pursuit track is going to advance all on its own anyway. At least this way we can mitigate it. It's a net add of one as opposed to two when we haven't gotten anything home and holy crap I keep forgetting about escorting civvies we can DO THAT let's get all those things off the board before the Raiders get there someone XO the hell out of Adama.

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

BSG (Adama)

It's not as bad as it sounds. I choose Option 2 and discard IW-0, MV-1, XO-2, TI-0, & LS-1.

Well now it's looking pretty good.

Good choice, sir!

Yes, we need to escort those birds home before the raiders swoop in. We also need to get me out of the pokey, so I can give more than 1 card to a check. And then there are the repairs. Not much. Small to-do list. Pretty manageable. We can win this.

Halfway through Beasts of the Southern Wild, Adama throws his popcorn at the screen and storms out! "What the frak was that even about?! Ishtar was a superior film in EVERY WAY", he declares. Not surprisingly, his reputation takes a hammering, and he loses five skill cards.

Next, Roger Ebert's basestar fires at Galactica:

Die roll: 6. Hit! Weapons Control Damaged! Bah. He was aiming for Command.

That concludes Adama's turn. Dee's cards are going out, which is more than we can say for Dee. Dee, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
