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

BSG (Roslin)

Don't come back metal, Bill!

Oh, what are the chances of that happening again?

In other news, hello there, Bill.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Oh No, it's the Mr. Bill Show!! (sorry, couldn't resist)

Since I'm not a politician, I will keep my promise! The good thing with all the kerfuffle of Hoshi early demise, is no new Crisis Card throwing more flak in the air. So I can take care of that Heavy Raider, as promised.

MOVE: to sector 6.

ACTION #1: Shoot at that heavy bastard!

Prelim CO for Action #2: If I miss with first shot, fire on that puppy again.

If I hit it, not sure. Can I move towards the civvies for my second action?

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

You can; but first, let's see if it becomes an issue. I have passes on SPs from everyone:

Fire 1: 4. Miss.
Fire 2: 1. Miss.

Looks like you'll be staying in Sector 6 for a while. But that should give you another chance at the heavy raider, right? Unless, say, it were suddenly to ram Galactica at full speed, possibly right in the airlock. Starbuck's crisis card is:

Airlock Leak
Skill Check (6 PB)

Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.

Two Misses?!? Son of a... Well Frak me. I might as well be a politician. Sorry about that guys. The die didn't like me. And it can kiss my ass!

I can help a little with the check. Pass on interrupts.


Laga - Jul 05, 2013 3:08:32 am PDT #19993 of 26134
You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (suddenly, Adama)

well frak, I don't have any cards. But I can cheer from the sidelines.

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

BSG (Doc)

OK, so, we're getting boarded. But maybe we can avoid taking damage and keep Starbuck out there being a highly effective viper pilot (or maybe she will become highly effective if we keep her out there, anyway).

Bill can't help. Laura doesn't draw those colors. Starbuck, I hope you have something to help keep you out of Sickbay. I would rather be shooting at basestars than patching you up right now.

Pass on interrupts. I can help a lot, fortunately.

At least Heavy Raider activations are rare.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

President Roslin, are you having visions?

IRONIC VISIONS lords of kobol.

Pass on interrupts.

BSG

President Roslin, are you having visions?

On her turn I imagine she'll manage to rustle them up. Meanwhile! This is all happening quickly. Everyone passes on interrupts, and I have their plays into the check:

Airlock Leak: 6 PB

Destiny: 2 cards
Roslin: 0 cards
Cottle: 2 cards
Hoshi: 0 cards
Starbuck: 1 card

Is the key to successful crisis checkitude to do them at phenomenal speed?! Cards played:

Guts and Initiative 2
Launch Scout 2
Establish Network 0
Calculations 4
Executive Order 1

Tally: 12 - 1 = 11. Pass! You should all do that more often. Unless you're a Cylon. Then, do that more often, and then complain about it to me back-channel.

But there's a little something for everyone, as you may have sealed the leak, but the heavy raider still landed. Please welcome the latest and shiniest crew member, Jean-Ralphio!

That concludes Starbuck's turn. Roslin's cards are going out. President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
