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

You're scheming on a thing, it's Sabotage ! Hit something good, robot saboteur!

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

BSG

The Sabotage wrecks the Admiral's Quarters. Never mind, Admiral, who has time to sleep with all the excitement? Speaking of which, Cally's card is Perjury. She has no trauma tokens left, so she may choose freely which option to take. She has chosen the Benevolent effect.
Gain Sympathy: she discards two random skill cards, and may discard two trauma. She has no trauma, so just the cards. She discards:

Launch Scout 2
Broadcast Location 1

No Sabotage this time.

Not that the humans were going to have time to Brig anyone anyway, but you're welcome, my hidden compadre.

You humans are so boring with your discarding trauma and cards! Just kill someone already.

The trial continues, and Helo steps up to offer Testimony. He has chosen the Benevolent option.
Forgiven: Helo chooses another player. That player discards two random skill cards and may discard two trauma. Of the humans, Starbuck has two trauma remaining, while Baltar has one trauma. Gaeta has one trauma (you can pick Gaeta if you want - Cylons are not immune to Crossroads cards). Card holdings:

Starbuck: 6 cards
Baltar: 5 cards
Chief: 0 cards
Cally: 2 cards
Gaeta: 5 cards

Helo, when you're ready, please post your choice. This is an open decision, so anyone who wants to can weigh in.

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

I choose Starbuck

Starbuck tosses her remaining trauma. They are both Benevolent. She also discards:

Maximum Firepower 5
By Your Command 1

Final Crossroads card is Gaeta's, who makes a Miraculous Return. Ok, who let the Cylon back on board? He has chosen the Antagonistic effect.
It's a Trick: Morale falls by 1, and one civilian ship is destroyed. It contains:

1 Population

Finally, one basestar gets damaged. Gaeta, do you damage the basestar in Sector 2 or Sector 3?

It suffers - oh, how it suffers! - Collateral Damage. Three raiders are destroyed. Could have been worse; there's one damage token that makes revealed Cylons draw two trauma.

That's the last Crossroads card. In a moment we'll resolve everyone's trauma.

Trauma, trauma, who's got the trauma? Only two players have any left, Baltar and Gaeta. Their tokens are revealed to be:

Baltar: 1 Antagonistic
Gaeta: 1 Benevolent

They each now discard all their favourable trauma (none), and up to two unfavourable trauma. This leaves them with no trauma. Everyone survives Crossroads!

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