I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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

BSG (Chief)

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.

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

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

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!

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

BSG (Cally)

Pass and I can't help with the check

feeling very useless at the moment. Here's hoping my turn is more productive. Any suggestions in the event I draw an xo?
