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

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.

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

BSG

Doesn't he also get an action from launching?

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?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (Starbuck)

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

Not sure it's time for me to use my OPG either assuming I can use it on someone else's turn- can I?

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.

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

Go Starbuck Go!

That's 75% voting for a GO on extra action.

Doc Cottle's on a smoke break, but I'm sure he agrees.

You know me well, Laura.
