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

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

BSG

Everyone passes on interrupts. Nuke launched!

Die roll: 6. Basestar destroyed!

The Admiral further demonstrates his martial prowess by offering to beat the crap out of any crew member who has it coming. Adama's crisis card is:

In The Ring
Skill Check (12 YGP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

Nicely done, Dad! You punch anyone you want. Uh, not the mirror, okay?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Assassins Creed 2 update. After spending the better part of 2 hours trying to get that last dang pressure point triggered, I gave up. Frustration so high, I couldn't make the first jump in the sequence anymore. Kept landing in the water. Spent the day finding all the feathers and glyphs. The only thing left for me to do in the game is open that last tomb, and return the seal to the basement of the villa, and get the old armour. That's for another day. Stupid sideways jump. :: grumble::

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

BSG (Cally)

Apologies, one error in the text sent out. This card has a heavy raider activation, not a basestar activation.

Sorry, guys, my cards suck for this crisis.

BSG

Everyone's play:

In the Ring: 12 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Chief: 1 card
Apollo: 0 cards
Cally: 0 cards
Roslin: 0 cards
Adama: 4 cards

Cards played:

Executive Order 1
Executive Order 2
At Any Cost 4
Launch Scout 1
Critical Situation 3
Calculations 4
Build Nuke 6

Tally: 11 - 10 = 1. Fail. Morale falls by 1 as the Admiral joins Roslin in Sickbay! The Consequence does not trigger, not that that matters. Can we possibly top that excitement? Well, the heavy raider activation can provide some. With no heavy or basestar (courtesy of Adama) on the main board, a new heavy raider appears on the CFB, in... Sector 5.

More importantly, the pursuit track reaches the end, and the entire Cylon fleet jumps in! Immediately afterwards, however, the FTL track reaches the end, and the fleet jumps out! Adama persuses the destination options on his sickbed. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.
