Holy Frak. Well, I suppose, the good news is, we get that card out of the waay really early on. Bad news, that Stem sucker just plucked some cards from our Ace pilot.

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

BSG (President Dr.)

OK, folks, I'm a little nervous about this guy who just appeared in my lab. I mean, what the hell? I know this room does me no good. I'm thinking of heading to the Presidents Ship, and starting to work the quorum. Anyone have any better ideas for a politician?


Laga - Feb 19, 2013 2:45:24 am PST #19028 of 26134
You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Helo)

I'm not there but I had this crazy dream that a President is most useful where they can work the Quorum.

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

BSG (Gaeta)

Well, shiiiiiiit. That would have been a good card to bury, but I know how hard it is to use that on the first turn. We're about to get hosed.

BSG (President)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. As much as I want to get my hands dirty, and help fight the flack in the air around us, those quorum cards are pretty powerful! I suppose that would get me, well, dirty, and not in the fun way. So, I will leave that to those who are trained in that field. I fill the Raptor up with a bevy of nubile women "advisors" to keep me company on Colonial One.

MOVEMENT: I move to Colonial One President Office. To change ships, I discard Blue 1 card.

ACTION: I activate the office, and await a Quorum card.

C'mon Quorum! Don't fail me now. Give papa something awesome!

(Its been so long since I was president, and I was pres so shortly, I have no clue what cool things the Quorum can do)

The President discards a Repair 1. Quorum card sent. You may now either draw another one, or play one from your hand. When you're ready, please post your orders.

Sweet jeebus, the Gods are with us! turns on squawk box to talk to the fleet... small twinge of feedback until aid turns down my radio

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the fleet. Looking out your portholes, you can see we are surrounded by a bevvy of chrome. It's maddness out there! Have no fear! We have a great military. Look, they have already scrambled our best pilot to lead the charge! But extreme problems call for extreme measures. It is with heavy heart that I sign a form for Authorisation of Brutal Force Action! May the Gods be with us, and see us through."

Please destroy the two Raiders in Sector 4, and one in Sector 3.

Hot damn! Much better than going peu peu peu from Weapons Control!
