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

BSG (Helo)

Oh I guess Starbuck could find me, huh? Or was it Boomer? I watched the show so long ago.

Poke poke? Where were we? I know I was day dreaming about a sexy blond, but I don't think that is what is what y'all are doing. so?? what did I miss?

BSG (Late to the Chief)

Sorry, work's been nuts this morning.

Well, Cally can't help, I don't think, and Helo's off the table. Starbuck may not be in position to do enough damage, and El Prez just used his best Quorum card for this situation, and I can't XO the Admiral for nukes.

Ergo, unless I hear differently in a few hours, I'll go ahead and XO Gaeta. Speak now or forever hold your pieces.

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

BSG (Gaeta)

Oh, I wouldn't do that. I'm in FTL, so I'd have to move to do anything anyway. I'd suggest shooting things or moving civvies.

BSG(Chief-dang)

Hmmm. Starbuck, would an XO let you do a significant amount of damage?

Remind me on secrecy rules. Can I state which piloting card I have that I think might help?

I believe you can say "I can help with this", but can't say "I have the lavender 7 card.

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

BSG

If it's relevant to the immediate situation, you can claim to have a particular type of card, e.g. "I have an XO I can use" or "If XO'd, I have some Maximum Firepower I can use." You can never state you have cards of a particular strength, you can never identify specific cards you played into a check (or say what colours you played) and you can't just go listing put all your cards.

Okay then, the card that I have that might apply is Run Interference, but I'm not totally clear on how it would play out in this situation.

BSG

Run Interference is a defensive card. It doesn't do anything for your firepower; you can play it as an interrupt when raiders activate, and you can make up to four raiders in your sector miss automatically.
