Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

BSG (President)

Given that we have more population than morale, I think option 2 is the better choice.

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

BSG (Helo)

OK since no one else has voiced an opposing opinion I will not seize the Presidency at this time. I choose Option 2 and discard XO-1 and GI-1.

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

Population falls by 1. That concludes Starbuck's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (President)

I feel strange on this ship. Since I'm still the President, I really should be on my ship. Although, I know that sick lunatic will not make me happy, it's where I belong.

MOVEMENT: I discard Green DE4 to move to Colonial One, into the President's Office.

ACTION: I work the Quorum deck, and hope for something good that can help us down the road.

Baltar moves back to his Office, which is currently being haunted by his predecessor. Why? Well, they had to quarantine her somewhere, and Cottle flatly refused to have her in Sickbay, with the comment, "Have you seen her? I might catch something!" Instead, Baltar catches something; Roslin is Antagonistic. Baltar draws two trauma, which are being sent now. Neither of them is a Disaster, so he survives his encounter with Typhoid Laura.

As they wheel Roslin out on a gurney, Aaron Kelly appears in Command. How is he feeling? President Baltar, when you're ready, please advise what kind of mood he is in.

Thanks for the Quorum card. In the words of Animal House. "Thank you sir, may I have another".

Second card sent. It's been a Baltariffic turn so far; why should the crisis card be any different? Baltar's crisis card is:

Water Shortage
President's Choice

President Baltar, what would you like for your Delusional Intuition? Then, when you're ready, please post your choice.

BSG (President)

Well. I'm at 11 cards. And I get one more because I'm delusional or some such. So option 2 will hurt, but not too bad. However, the lesson I learned from my Admiral is, it's better to throw cards away after the check then for the check. So? Option 1? Did I understand that lesson right?

Hogwash. That's absurd. I don't want to cut my hand that much, but food is the lowest resource, so, I'm hesitant to go that route.

But as President, I listen to my people. So I ask the newspapers to poll the populace. Which option do you think?


Laga - Mar 15, 2013 11:21:12 pm PDT #19303 of 26134
You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Helo)

Food is replenishable but it's also our lowest resource at the moment. If you've got five cards that aren't worth that much I think go with the discards.
