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

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).

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.

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.

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

BSG

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.

BSG (DeeTained)

OK team human. I have to ask, do we think we can debrig me? I can help a bunch, but not all the way. We'd need to overcome destiny and the toasters. My other option is scouting. Sad to say, didn't get any XO's.
