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

BSG (RoboGaeta)

Oh, wow. You -- you really just said that, didn't you?

I was going to taunt them and then thought better of it.

Never again.

Oh yes, the Cylons have brought a little something they like to call their 'A' game to this party.

Boooooo fire harder, stupidheads!

BSG(Chiefxasperated)

Oh, for frak's sake.

May I suggest we try to whittle down the number of basestars before RoboFelix gets his digits on the controls? I say this as someone who is perfectly placed to take a couple shots.

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

BSG (President)

Well, if that is there "A" game, we aren't doing too bad, seeing how they missed and all. The Gods are with us! So sayeth the Prophet! Er. I mean, President. Eh. same thing, right?

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

BSG (Helo)

I think our hypothetical second cylon missed a great opportunity to reveal so I'm going to move forward with the assumption that Gaeta is on his own.

I stay put and play XO-1 on Chief.

Make with the pew-pew, please.

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

BSG

Chief, you have received an XO. You can either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

I will stay where I am and Fire on Sector 1.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So I realized I've never played any of the Metroid games (first console we owned was a Sega Genesis, which limited my NES playing to friends' houses or babysitting younger cousins that owned one.) and have been trying to correct that by playing the first one.

Wow, do I suck.

Everyone passes on interrupts.

Die roll: 8. Two hits! Let's check the damage:

Structural Damage
Collateral Damage

Collateral Damage is a new damage token used with the Ionian Nebula. If you draw this token, your shot destroys up to three raiders as well as damaging the basestar. In this instance, there are no raiders in Sector 1, so we just damage the basestar. Thanks to the structural damage, any future shots on this basestar are at +2.

Chief, when you're ready, please post your second action.

They just don't build basestars like they used to.

Again.. "A" Game. We are doing OK.

I think our hypothetical second cylon missed a great opportunity to reveal so I'm going to move forward with the assumption that Gaeta is on his own.

I think you are right, that it would have been a great reveal time. Maybe the Gods have smiled upon us, and blessed us with just one Toaster! May we have smooth sailing from here on out!
