Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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

BSG

This means I will encounter Dee. How are you doing, today, Dee?

That's a good question there, Dee. What's on your playlist at the moment, Beach Boys, or Blue Oyster Cult?

Dee is Antagonistic.

Dee is quite the nihilist, and has been regaling Hoshi ever since the game started with the many similarites between the emptiness of space and the condition of the human soul. At the end of it, she wanders off and Hoshi draws two trauma. Normally, these are sent to the player on the quiet. There is however one exception, when the trauma draw gets shared with the crew. Alas, this is just such an occasion.

Hoshi draws a Disaster trauma; the Admiral is executed! He reveals his loyalty card:

YOU ARE NOT A CYLON – PERSONAL GOAL (DEVASTATION)

So Hoshi was human, if of somewhat dubious stability. Morale falls by 1. Hoshi discards all his cards and his trauma. The trauma remains unseen; the cards were:

Executive Order 2
Executive Order 2
Guts and Initiative 1
Launch Scout 1
Strategic Planning 4
Repair 1
Scientific Research 5

That concludes Hoshi's turn, and indeed life. Lagawill need a replacement character. We will reasign the Admiralty after you choose, so if you pick a military leader, Apollo or (in an ironic twist) Dee, you will retain the Admiralty. You will also draw three new trauma, after which you may place a token on the new NPC. And that would be (unless you choose him as your replacement) one Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza, who appears in Weapons Control. Laga, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Roslin)

...HOLY SHIT.

DAMMIT DEE.

...

This has not been a very good first round.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Doc)

Oh no! Hoshi we hardly new ye.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Holy Frak! I mean, well, we lost our admiral. But. He was wanting us to be devastated. So? Mixed blessing??

Double Frak. If Laga doesn't pick a leader type, that might make me Admiral??

Laga - Jul 04, 2013 12:45:39 pm PDT #19982 of 26134

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

BSG (RIP Hoshi)

holy frak! I can't stop laughing. It would be awfully poetical of me to pick Dee now wouldn't it? Let me look at the list...

I think we do need another Military Leader. If I choose Helo do I have to skip my next (first) turn?

It would also be funny if you came back as Gaeta.

Laga - Jul 04, 2013 1:29:43 pm PDT #19984 of 26134

BSG (WhoAmI?)

Don't think I haven't thought about it.

Laga - Jul 04, 2013 1:31:56 pm PDT #19985 of 26134

BSG

OK I've thought it over and decided what we need is Inspirational Leadership. I'll be William Adama.

Aw, this game is feeling classic now: President Roslin, Admiral Adama, Starbuck in viper...and me. Shooting things. Well 3 out of 4 is pretty good.

Don't come back metal, Bill!

It's now a moot point, but yes.

If Laga doesn't pick a leader type, that might make me Admiral??

Also a moot point, but also yes.

Meanwhile! Welcome to the crew, Admiral Adama. Where've you been hiding yourself? Trauma has been sent to Adama. Admiral, when you're ready, let me know what kind of mood Hot Dog is in.

That concludes Hodama's turn. Starbuck has left COs to draw Green for her variable draw. She starts her turn in space, which means that she may take a move and two actions. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your orders.
