Thrive to spite them

BSG (Adama)

Would love some advice on this.

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

BSG (Chief)

Ooh, a lose-lose card! I like those.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

Blargh, those are both rough choices. I guess it would depend on your hand, but I kinda hate to see treachery introduced at this stage of the game. Still, a neg two loss is pretty steep.

I'll go with Option 1

Aw, I was hoping you'd go with Option 2. But Option 1 is good too! Enjoy that Treachery, possible Cylon!

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

BSG

Food rises to 5; Morale falls to 3.

Adama has only two cards left. He discards:

Declare Emergency 5
Critical Situation 5

The raider activation places a new raider on the CFB in... Sector 5. The pursuit track advances to step 2. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Adama's turn. Chief has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Blue. Chief, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Chief)

Wow, that's a hell of a hand you had there, Admiral. A hell of a hand you have now!

And Apollo, poor guy, stuck in the Brig.

And Cally, look at your hand! So small. So paltry.

Roslin, you have all the cards. Don't you feel special. Too bad they're the wrong color.

I move to Caprica and play a Super Crisis.

Welcome to The Farm, guys.

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

BSG (Apollo)

Hahahaha, you suck. I appreciate the sympathy for my unfortunate incarceration, though.

Pass on interrupts

BSG (Chief)

Oh, I have no sympathy for your incarceration, but your ability to only play 1 card is relevant to my interests.
