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

BSG (President)

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!

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

The President goes piu piu from the comfort of his office. The Population die roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

Everyone passes on interrupts.

Die roll: 7. Pass! The fleet's brutality is directed effectively, by which I mean outwards. Nonetheless, some ordnance - signed for by the President, that is his signature, isn't it? - is unaccounted for. Did it go towards exploding raiders, or is sabotage on the cards? Baltar's crisis card is:

Missing G4 Explosives
Skill Check (7 GP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. However, before interrupts, Baltar is experiencing some Delusional Intuition. The wallpaper and carpet in his office do clash. While they redecorate, President Baltar, which colour would you like to draw?

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

BSG (Helo, is it me you're looking for?)

I can play into the check right? I can help a little but I think my cards would be better spent on other things.

pass on interrupts

You can indeed.

Baltar has chosen to draw Purple for his Delusional Intuition. His card is going out. But why should he have all the fun? I have interrupt orders, and everyone passes except Cally, who plays a Support the People 1! Everyone except Baltar, who has more than four cards in hand, may draw two skill cards (colours must be within your regular skill set). Everyone, please let me know which colour(s) you would like to draw.

I will take 1G 1P, please.

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

BSG (Gaeta)

Why, how very helpful! I'm certainly not going to suspect Baltar of being a Cylon for at least two turns. I'll take 1G/1P too. If you don't you're a Cylon.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Starbuck)

I was thinking of 1G/1R since I am out here with all these raiders.

Yes, that makes sense for you.
