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

Portal 2

I feel like I have to finish Portal 1. But I get really frustrated with the keyboard interface trying to jump and make portals at the same time.

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

Assassins Creed 2

Update. It is done! Woot. After another 45 minutes or so. About 10 minutes of that was practicing the damn wall sideways jump, I got through the final tomb. Took about 8 times, but finally did it! Got the last seal, and unlocked the special armour. Alas, everything else is done, so, no need for the extra special armour.

Oh, good Lords of Kobol, I forgot that Dad's in Sickbay. That is an immediately solvable problem, so I will XO-1 him out of there.

If we live long enough for his turn, we want his full card draw. Cally, if you can XO me we can still get Morale up, gods willing. Dad, I do not know what you should do with this XO, but I want you healthy, so, good luck.

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

BSG

Admiral Adama, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Orders are in. Adama is determined to find out why he got sick, and prevent it happening to anyone else!

Move: Research Lab
Action: Draw 1 Purple

The results are in: don't punch Helo. Card sent. Since Apollo is still in the Brig, there's no crisis card, and this concludes his turn. Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Chief)

Looks like Apollo has too many cards.

BSG

It does, doesn't it? Apollo, you need to discard one card. When you're ready, please post your choice of discard.

Oh, wait, it's Apollo. All discards are random. Give me a moment.

Oh, crap, I didn't realize I had a random discard coming! Oh well, worked out okay.

Good luck, Cally!
