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

BSG (Roslin)

Friends! Capricans! Spacemen! Lend me your earpieces! The ship is under attack, you're all hungry, the Admiral was recently executed, and our only pilot is recovering from grave injuries sustained in battle.

But, you know, it gets better and stuff.

How's that for an Inspirational Speech ?

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

BSG

Roslin has played an Inspirational Speech. The die roll to raise Morale may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

I have passes from everyone.

Die roll: 2. Fail. Not very inspiring after all. Maybe next time you should try turning the mic on.

Time for Roslin's Visions, and we sorted those out while waiting for the die roll. Roslin's crisis card has no trouble finding the mic; it is:

Threat of Super Nova
Skill Check (10 GRB)

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

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

BSG (Doc)

Oh, hey, I can help with this one! And I will, I should be getting more skills in a minute.

2 cards.

Eta: another Heavy Raider activation, eh? I heard those were rare.

Also - Jump Icon, yay! I like Jump Icons.

BSG

That's everyone, to the tune of:

Threat of Super Nova: 10 GRB

Destiny: 2 cards
Cottle: 2 cards
Adama: 1 card
Starbuck: 1 card
Roslin: 1 card

Cards played:

Iron Will 0
Declare Emergency 3
Declare Emergency 3
State of Emergency 6
Establish Network 0
Repair 2
Scientific Research 3

Tally: 22 - 0 = 22. Pass! Lets's see what you win with that heroic effort:

No effect. That's 100% less effect than failing the check would give you! So that's nice.

Next, the heavy raider activates for the fifth time so far this game, but no one cares, because the jump track reaches the final space. The fleet jumps! Choice of destinations going to the Admiral. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.
