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

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

I choose Starbuck

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

BSG

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.

BSG

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.

Note that, now we're past the Ionian Nebula, the NPCs have all been cleared off the board. Trauma is no longer a thing.

Mr President, if you would like to make an inspirational speech I could help you plan it.
