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

Starbuck returns to space. I wonder what's different since you were last out here? Maybe you should check. Starbuck's crisis card is:
Send Survey Team
Current Player's Choice
Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I move for Option 2, there's no way we can pass a skill check right now.

Does anyone have anything to help with the die roll? I agree that we can't really risk not passing the skill check since that puts me back in Sickbay and my viper is the only thing between those raiders and the civvies.

Everyone passes on interrupts.
Die roll: 1. Fail. Fuel falls by 1.
Next, the raiders activate. Starbuck gets fired upon three times:
Raider 1: 2. Miss.
Raider 2: 3. Miss.
Raider 3: 4. Miss.
Man, the Cylon rolls have just sucked this game. their compatriots in Sector 1 have better luck, where civvie D is completely unprotected. It contains:
Civilian ship D: 0 Pop.
Ok, they didn't have better luck. And they won't get a second chance, as the FTL has finished spooling up. The fleet jumps! Destinations being sent to the Admiral. Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Nice try, distracting them like that, Admiral. But it doesn't work. The fleet is more interested in the two basestars that have jumped in on the other side of Galactica. Morale falls by 1. But the crew has other things on their minds; we have reached the Crossroads phase, to raise the curtain on the final reckoning!
Everyone is about to get a Crossroads card to resolve. After that, we will check on everyone's current trauma. If anyone is overly traumatised, they may find themselves out of the game! Before I send them out, I'll post an interim board summary, so everyone can see the current setup.

A couple of reminders about Crossroads:
1. Your choice of the Benevolent or Antagonistic outcome on your card is completely private. You must not let anyone else know what you've chosen (except me, of course), nor may you ask any questions of the other players before making your choice.
2. The cards will be resolved in order, starting with the current player. We will therefore do Starbuck's card first, and Gaeta's card last.
3. Cally has no trauma tokens left, and therefore has none to place on her card. She may choose either outcome freely.
4. Some card outcomes will themselves involve a choice (e.g. choose another player). The cardholder makes these secondary choices when their card is revealed. You may if you wish put in COs for such a choice.
