Very well! You have been moved. Deeply moved. As has the President, or perhaps 'transported' is the correct term. Religious Visions are on their way.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

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

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Doesn't he also get an action from launching?

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

I think Starbuck has to start her turn in a viper and she gets an extra action but she started on the hangar deck so it doesn't count.

Godsfrakkingdammit, I hate the choices that were given to me, and there's no way to sugarcoat the fact that we were royally frakked either way. The only saving grace is that I hope Starbuck will consider using her OPG on this one; I know it's the first Crisis of the game, but I regretted not doing it when faced with a similar situation.
Buckle up, folks, it's a Cylon Swarm.
Aaaaargh. I'm glad Starbuck's already in the sky, and I think Admiral Hoshi's abilities are going to come in handy here. (But, seriously, Starbuck, we never recovered from the first-turn attack and I was kicking myself the entire game and never used my OPG ANYWAY, so I think it's warranted.)

Waiting to see that crisis card ... it could by a cylon trick to get you to use up your OPG early, but we never did use a lot of them last game. Not sure it's time for me to use my OPG either assuming I can use it on someone else's turn- can I?

Heh, I knew you'd go right to CYLON TRICK. I fully admit it looks sketchy, but there's nothing I can do about it. Like you said, we tend to be pretty stingy with our OPGs as it is, so it would be a great relief to avoid this early attack.
Your OPG is an Action, so you could use it on an XO, but Cottle's not going to XO you. Starbuck's OPG would be much more effective in relieving the current threat; we might need yours later.

Ok, this is embarrassing. Kalshane is quite right. Starbuck gets a bonus action from launching, which she used to move to Sector 1; but she also gets a second action from the XO, as she didn't take a move, she activated the Hangar Deck where she was already standing. Starbuck therefore has one action remaining. We've announced this crisis card, but I propose that we allow Starbuck to take an action before I send it out to everyone. Does anyone object?

No objections here. If all agree, my co's have been sent.

You can indeed use your OPG on someone else's turn, though you'd need to have received an XO or have them play State of Emergency or such like, to allow you to take an action.

The Crisis has been announced, but it hasn't been sent out, so Starbuck can't take new ship placement into account anyway, so I think it's fine.
