Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

BSG

Right, let's continue. (Oh, and I will note that Cally's StP interrupt has now brought the crew a total of sixteen new cards.) The raider activationsees the existing raiders advance towards Starbuck and the civvies; Constant Barrage means that it also adds four new raiders to the board.

That concludes Baltar's turn. Chief's cards are going out. Chief Tyurol, 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 (Gaeta)

Since we're not using Cylon Fleet, there's no more escorting, right? Those civvies are just sitting ducks? This could get bad very quickly.

I think a visit to Hot Dog is in order. If he's feeling nice. Either way, we've got to shoot at basestars, and he might help us get rid of some Raiders, which would be good.

There's no escorting, but you can still use Communications.

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

BSG (President)

Baltar: Research Lab; 7 cards, 3 trauma
Ahem. Mr. Awesome GM. I do believe I took my harem...er... advisors, and moved to Colonial One, to occupy the Presidents Office. I'm not a scientist anymore. I am a member of the elite now. I rule!!!

BSG (Chief-less)

Hmmmph. Well, in spite of everything, there's nothing over here to repair. Given that we tend to use Pegasus as a shield, being over there might be a good place to wait, plus I have a perfect card to discard.

So who could really use an XO right now?

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

BSG (Helo I'm over here)

I can't move until my next turn even if I get an XO, correct?

That's a moot question, as you can't be XO'd. You can't move and can't take an action until your second turn. Conversely, you can't be executed, so there's that.
