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

a. The charge of an attacking bear is hilarious.
b. Is there any weapon more ludicrous than a stick to poke people with? If you could program brutes, I would have his battle cry being "Get offa my lawn!"

Hi group. As mentioned in the email, some of us are novices, and I fall into this category. I'm going to take a stab at picking a character. I choose Sharon "Boomer" Valerii

I'm curious how this will work. I look forward to the fun!

Excellent choice. We have the Brig warmed up for you. Raq is next. As O_A chose a pilot, you may choose any character except a pilot.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I hate it when my brutes choose the pointy stick. I mean - you have an AXE and a SWORD! Why are you using the fucking STICK???

You can lead a brute to weaponry, but you can't make him hack.

Well, that throws me out of my comfort zone playing Apollo or Starbuck.

So I choose Bill Adama.

Ok, Raq takes Adama (and becomes Admiral in the process). Next choice is Sean's, who can take a political leader (Laura Roslin, Tom Zarek or Gaius Baltar) or else Chief Tyrol.

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

Hey guys, I'm off to work. I'll be home probably around 7pm board time.

Laga (and Raq's husband), if you want you can email me conditional orders on which character you'd like. (Laga, do you need a list of the characters?)
