Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

Nice job team! Now we can take a chance to breathe a little. ::Deep inhale:: Ah, the great smell of recycled air. Pwew. Y'all really should change your air filters on this boat. Colonial One smells so much better.

Now that we have clear skies, lets get our co-workers out of the brig and sickbay.

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

The EN-0 doubles the value of the Repair-2. Thanks to the Scientific Research, it counts positive:
Tally: 10 - 2 = 8. Pass! Apparently the crew has no conscience after all.

Geez, we are really just scraping by on these checks! Usually we're overplaying like hell or getting hosed by Destiny.

Chief, I hope you can XO me, or I'm stuck here since Cally will use her turn to get out of the pokey and Helo will be busy yelling at everyone for leaving him behind.

And here I was thinking it was good communication, and not wasting our limited resources. I think it's great! We are in rather good card shape for where we are. Typically at this point, we are lucky to have 1 or 2 cards each.

So, bt, If I Repair something on my turn, I get a bonus action, I can use to XO someone else?

That is correct.

Thrive to spite them

So I was at Goodwill and bought some games today. Risk, Parcheesi and then I found a 1976 All New Third Edition The Price is Right! It was only $1! And there are pieces not even punched out so I assume most of it is there.

I doubt I'll ever play it but it's cool to look at.

Oh I LOVE Parcheesi! Seems there are different rules than I remember when I played as a kid... assuming I was playing the proper rules and not house-kid rules.

Thrive to spite them

I do too! I used to play with my Grandma all the time. I haven't played it in years and have wanted once since I got into board games.

OK, here we go:

I Discard BL-1 to Move to Main Batteries, then I Play R-1 to repair it and finally, inspired by my own repairfulness, I Play XO-2 on Felix.
