Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

A tribute to Mille Bornes.

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

BSG

Adama discards a Preventative Policy 5 to return to Galactica.

The fleet jumps! There is a die roll to attempt to avoid the loss of 1 Population. Possible SP interrupt. Everyone, please pass or play.

I have passes from everyone.

Die roll: 5. Fail. Population falls by 1. But the important thing is, the fleet jumps! Destination options are going out to the Admiral. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.

BSG

You have arrived at the Ragnar Anchorage. You are able to pick up a replacement for your destroyed raptor; unfortunately, its radiator is bone dry. It needs a top-up; Cally's crisis is:

Water Shortage (E)
President's Choice

President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (What, I'm still President Apollo?)

I could discard pretty easily. How do you feel about it, Cally?

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

BSG (Cally)

I don't have a lot of cards but my card draw is coming up next so that's OK.

You just had your card draw. This is your turn.

BSG

I have orders from Apollo. He chooses option 2. Apollo's discards:

Consolidate Power 1
Evasive Manoeuvre 1

Cally's discards:

Consolidate Power 1
Trust Instincts 0
Repair 1

Next, we have a basestar activation. There is no basestar on the board, so this will be our inaugural use of the pursuit track! I roll to place the basestar on the Cylon Fleet Board; it goes in... Sector 3. The pursuit track advances to step 1; Apollo places a new ivvie in Sector 6.

Finally, the jump track, so recently returned to the starting position, advances. That concludes Cally's turn. Roslin's cards are going out. When you're ready, please post your move and action.
