Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

BSG (Chief)

Sleeper Phase is going to be hilarious. And deadly.

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

BSG ( CAGsident Adama the Younger)

Elected office, eh? Well, that's new.

OK, well, I'm not sure what to do now. I can always shoot at raiders, of course. It would be nice if we could take care of that Heavy - Chief, want to take a shot? Moving to the President's Office and taking up the Presidential duties in earnest would require a lot of maneuvering and conflict with my CAG duties, so, probably not that. I will do my best to govern from a viper.

What do we think?

BSG (Chief)

Oh, I didn't even notice that we had a Heavy. I'm fine to take a shot or two.

OK, then I will not move, CAG the RSV in my sector to shoot at the raiders and XO-1 Chief Galen

For my first action, I fire upon the Heavy.

Pass on interrupts.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin, once again, just Roslin)

I can't wait for my three turns as President.

I think that's all I'm going to do the whole game, try to take back the presidency from whoever I gave it to last!

Unfortunately for my trigger finger, I am thinking we're all human at this point.

It's looking that way. Might as well take advantage of it and get as much cooperation in as possible, because...

Sleeper Phase is going to be hilarious. And deadly.

No shit.

I will do my best to govern from a viper.

I believe in you, kiddo.

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

BSG

We have a lot of shooting this turn. First, the RSV shoots at a raider:

Die roll: 4. Hit! Nine raiders set out from that basestar, with hope in their eyes and a dream in their hearts. Now there's just one left.

Next, Chief shoots at the heavy raider. Everyone passes on interrupts:

Fire 1: 3. Miss.
Fire 2: 4. Miss.

The heavy raider yet lives. Is it a sign? Maybe Apollo's crisis can help with that. It is:

Temple of the Five
Skill Check (9 PB)

POssible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

No interrupts. Can't help at all.

In my defense, I'm a fixer, not a fighter.

BSG (Apollo)

Ah, well, it was worth a shot. Or two.

Pass on interrupts, I can help a little with the check. I would really like to not lose that Jump Prep!
