Seriously?

Seriously.

You're all fired.

BSG (Helo)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the fleet. We have arrived in Deep Space but wait, what's that Nebula?

BSG

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.

No comment on the Crossroads but - Mr President we have 2 nukes left and 2 sectors full of Cylons. It seems like a very good time to give the Admiral some orders.

The anticipation of this crossroads thing is KILLING me! It's all so new. What will become of the fleet?!? Of us? I feel like it's the mid-season cliff hanger. Please don't make me wait until after Christmas to learn what's happened.

BSG (Gaeta)

And I'm LAST. I mean, what if I'm, like, dead before you even get to me. I don't even know what to expect with this shit. Besides unending torment and the destruction of all humanity.

And I'm LAST. I mean, what if I'm, like, dead before you even get to me.

That can't happen to a revealed Cylon - you can get boxed by excess trauma, but that's resolved only after all Crossroads cards have been played. It can however happen that a human player is executed during Crossroads. If that happens, their Crossroads card still gets played as normal.

Anyway, sorry for the delay, but I now have everyone's play. I'll send you all the full details, but here's the step by step.

Starbuck's card is The Opera House. She has chosen the Antagonistic option.
The Door Is Shut: no effect.

BSG

President Baltar has been Scanned. He has chosen the Benevolent option.
Order a Retreat: Morale falls by 1, and he removes 4 raiders from the board. He has chosen to remove all raiders from Sector 3.
