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

The Personal Goals are so weird since they only trigger if you actually finish the game before the godsdamn Cylons take you out. What are the odds that we'd jump to Kobol with 1 Food?

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

The Mk VII in Sector 6 moves to Sector 4. Apollo reveals that this entire journey he has been trying to Acquire Power. A new loyalty card is going out to him.

Meanwhile, Religious Visions are going out to Roslin. Ms Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

Hmm. Okay, just once, I would like an awesome choice of crises. I'm going with one I'm unuseful for, but with a low threshhold, and putting my well-being at risk to do so.

I choose "Crash Landing."

Well, I don't draw positive for the check. How does everyone else feel about our chances?

Okay, just once, I would like an awesome choice of crises.

I think the only time I've had an awesome choice of crises was when I was a Cylon using Caprica. Because then all Crises are awesome! Or, well, when I was Cylon Roslin. I'm not sure human Roslin ever gets AWESOME choices.

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

BSG (Apollo)

I would only be able to help a little bit, and my one remaining card might serve us better in another capacity anyway.

Pass on interrupts

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

BSG (Cally)

I can't help at all with the check but I might be able to help with an interrupt if I understand this card correctly.

The orders are in:

Crash Landing: 6 PR

Destiny: 2 cards
Adama: 0 cards
Chief: 0 cards
Apollo: 0 cards
Cally: 0 cards
Roslin: 0 cards

Crash tank! Will Destiny save you this time?

Consolidate Power 1
Executive Order 2

Tally: 0 - 3 = -3. I'd count that as a no.

The check fails! The Admiral has a choice to make, and he has opted to lose 1 Fuel.

Finally, the two heavy raiders saunter over to Sector 6. That concludes Roslin's turn. Adama's cards are going out. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
