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

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

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.

BSG

Quick announcement, tomorrow I'm heading up to Canberra with the family for a few days. I'll be taking my various technological accoutrements, but nonetheless it may slow me, and therefore the game, down a tad.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

Hmm. Well, there isn't that much for me to do at the moment. I guess I'll

discard RT0 to move to Galactica, Comms, and discard RT0, XO1 to activate it to look at Civvie A and move it to Sector 5.

It's kinda a waste of all those cards just to look at one civvie, but the skies are pretty clear at the moment, and then I'd be in place for an XO in the future, since I'm less useful up in administration land now.

Ship's manifest and Religious Visions sent to Roslin. When you're ready, please send me or post your choice of crisis.

Administrative note: Roslin's card draw exhausted the Politics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

BSG (Apollo)

Hey, man, your just gonna blithely move that Civvie before you even see what's on it? I chose Sector 6 carefully!

Not really, sector 5 seems fine, I'm just feeling belligerent. I've got no wives or girlfriends to flirt with or spar with this game, after all.

But while I am between weighty decisions, can we talk about Dear Old Dad discarding a PP-5 to move to FTL when we were not really needing to jump early? I'm thinking those big cards in the previous crisis check could have come from him, too, and that's starting to seem a little toastery.
