I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have to admit, Pradmiral Adama does have a nice ring to it.

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

BSG (Chief)

All right, no XO, so I'm heading over to Weapons Control and firing on the basestar.

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

BSG

Everyone passes on interrupts.

Die roll: 4. Miss.

That's within range of a Calculations, so we'll pause to allow for that. Everyone, please pass or play.

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

BSG (Cally to the rescue)

I play Calcs-4

With Cally's help, Team Edward Tyrol score a hit! The basestar now has Disabled Weapons.

As we observed last turn, all the fleet needs to hand over awesome power is to blow up some Cylons. First they made the Admiral into a Pradmiral; now they're considering letting the Chief lock up whomever the hell he wants. Chief's crisis card is:

A Traitor Accused
Current Player's Choice

Chief Tyrol, when you're ready, please post your choice.

So the basestar can keep popping out raiders, but can't shoot at us itself? Not bad.

Raider activation, not so good.

I would not be able to help with the skill check.

Thanks for the assist, Cally!

Five cards is practically my whole hand, and my hand is not crappy, so I'm going with Option 1. I can help with the check.

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

Hmm, with the pursuit track in effect, I recall the Game Master of Awesome mentioning something about 'sometimes it's better to have a crippled cylon on the field, then none, which keeps the pursuit track at bay', or some such.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Pradmiral Adama)

I can help some with the check.
