I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

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

BSG (Roslin)

With food at 6, that will drop us in the red (or close to it), and we are only on round 1.

Yeah, that Sabotage really hurt us.

But given the admiral has no cards... Passing skill checks with 2 players would be worse.

Yeah, that's a problem.

Tightening my belt, I choose Option 1 and hope to raise Food with some sort of speech or whatever.

No, we're on round 2! Barely, but we are.

Not that that is much better, but that's the game. Seems like a reasonable choice, Pres, but when we starve to death we'll know who to blame...

My point was not to correct you, it was to make us feel marginally better. Because I'm a healer. All nurturing and whatnot.

I think we also started with fewer resources because of No Sympathizer.

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

You did! And they've been dropping steadily ever since. Food drops to 4. Next, we have a raider activation. Starbuck blew up all the raiders, so instead the basestar launches a couple of replacements. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Roslin's turn. Cottle's cards are going out. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

At least we got a jump advance out of that. Priorities are FOOD and killing the boarding party. An XO to me can (hopefully) take care of those Raiders.

Hmm.

Let's see. Starbuck is well placed to take out Raiders. I could shoot at the basestar. Jean-Ralphio needs to be taken out. What to do, what to do?

I'm leaning towards moving to the Armoury and XOing someone, what do we think oh my assumed fellow humans?

Eta: oh, frak, I forgot there was someone ready to meet me in the Armoury. Hm.
