On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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

People of the Fleet, we have arrived in Deep Space. Look at all the pretty stars. What's that? You're sick of stars?

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

Regrettably, it appears so: [link]

Fuel and Morale both fall by 1! However, at this point I need to make a correction. On Adama's last turn, the crew dealt with Terrorist Investigations. The check's tally was 4, a failure, with a rogue Broadcast Location 1 knocking 1 point off the total.

The problem is, that was Adama's turn. And his special ability means that for crisis cards drawn on his turn, 1s count positive. That BL-1 should have added to the tally, not reduced it. If we count the BL-1 as positive, then the final tally is 6 - enough for a partial pass.

This is a simple fix. Failure just cost 1 Morale, a partial pass gives no effect. I am therefore adding back the lost point of Morale, to rectify this error. Taking this into account along with your new Destination, both Fuel and Morale are at 6 as at turn end.

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

BSG (Doc)

Ha, we were happier than we realized! Nice.

Eta: hm, and I didn't draw an XO. Sorry Starbuck, we need to keep you for observation a little longer.

Nothing to shoot at (which is FINE, universe). Hm.

BSG (Doc Cottle)

OK, behold my awesome powers of healing. I will play CS-5 to use my Ability on Starbuck and Draw 1P 1G.

Gonna offset that whole not getting your full draw thing a little, Starbuck, hang in there.

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

BSG (Roslin)

Ooh, clever move, hope you draw an XO!

Oh, you can't use a CS and XO on the same turn, bah. Well, at least we get a couple more cards out of the deal.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Interesting. I look forward to the mini transfusion.

The problem is, that was Adama's turn. And his special ability means that for crisis cards drawn on his turn, 1s count positive.

thank-you for catching that! I remember thinking it and then forgetting to check.
