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

Cottle has treated Adama as well. In each case his advice was the same: take two pills and drink plenty of fluids. They have taken the Doctor's order to heart; Cottle's crisis card is:

Water Shortage
President's Choice

President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Doc)

Not that much fluid, people! Argh.

Obviously, I don't want to discard all but one of my cards.

But Food is low, so. Heavy sigh. I don't know, Laura.

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

BSG (Sickbay-Starbuck)

It's a no brainer. Take a hit on the cards.

ION, looking ahead to Admiral's turn. I want to put forth to the group a unique request. If the good Admiral has an XO, I would request the Admiral direct it my way. Now, I know that there is a great fear of XO'ing the person who plays next. But I need out! I'm going stir crazy in here. And (no offense Doc), Doc's ciggies are really getting to me. First, we need all the cards we can get! Second, I really don't want another tramua token!

Thank you for letting me lobby like this. Carry on. ::cough::

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

BSG (Roslin)

Ooh, Cottle can use Treatment twice! Nice.

It's a no brainer. Take a hit on the cards.

We are so low on cards, though. I'm afraid of getting checks we have to tank that have more dire consequences than -1 Food. Adama, what are your thoughts? Neither option is good, but I'd like to hear from everyone.

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

BSG (Adama)

ouch! That's a lot of cards but if it were a skill check I think we would spend that many to save one food. I vote option 2.

BSG (Doc)

Oh, sure, the people who just got additional cards think other people discarding is an easy choice. I see how it is.

I don't trust Starbuck with a NextO, Bill.

The cards have it. I choose Option 2 and discard CP-2 and MV-1.

BSG

The cards may have it, but alas, the crew doesn't have the cards. Cottle has left COs to discard:

Investigative Committee 5
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cottle's turn. Adama's cards are going out. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Oof. That was rough. Let's hope for some, um, Crisis Cards that don't involve cards for a while?
