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

BSG

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.

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

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

BSG (Helo; I love you)

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

That is very generous of you, Admiral. I may need your help. I'm... I'm... Well... I'm not sure what I'm feeling. That nebula thing has really... really made me feel..... woozy.....

Sorry. Did I pass out there? My head REALLY hurts. It's SCREAMING. Something strange. Dunno what it is.

WOULD YOU PLEASE TURN OFF THAT FRAKKIN' RADIO. Dear gods, I have a migraine.

Wait. I know that song. How do I know that song? It's from... from another planet.

"There must be some kind of way out of here,"
Said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief.
Businessman they drink my wine,
Plowman dig my earth
None will level on the line, nobody offered his word, hey"

"No reason to get excited,"
The thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too


Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
buisness man there, drink my wine,
Come and take my herb.
