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.

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

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.

Nice job, team! I discard StP-1 and IW-0 to activate the President's Office.

Come on, gimme some Brutal Force!

President Roslin, stand by for your scheduled beating. When you're ready, please post whether to draw a second card or play one from your hand.

Edit: and while I'm at it, lookit that. The Gaming thread has reached 20,000 posts.

We can breathe a bit easier this time, but not too much easier since we have a Food Shortage.

I would request a little bit of input from my constituents on this one, as we are low on Food. I don't want to take the bigger Food hit, but it would mean losing my entire hand.
