I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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

Ticket To Ride

Wow! Just scored 14 tickets! I think that's my most. Although, not my highest score. Opening round of cards, I had a nice Seattle to Boston route. Then every time I went to the well, there was at least one more ticket that needed no more routes, or a short jumper route. ChaChing! Sadly, I didn't get longest train. And apparently, I have scored higher, according to leadership board. Still. Amazing!

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

Alas, Kat is currently vibrating even faster than purely theoretical particles. Starbuck discards three cards! I have orders from Starbuck; they are:

Trust Instincts 0
Trust Instincts 0
Launch Scout 2

Meanwhile, there are reports that Cally Henderson has been seen in the Engine Room. Starbuck, when you're ready, please let me know what mood Cally is in. Then, you can post your action (unless that above post meant you were passing on your action).

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

Man, we are getting no breaks from the so-called allies!

BSG (Starbuck) At least I had those TI cards to toss, what else are they good for?

ACTION: I suppose jumping in a viper in prep for an attack wouldn't be a bad idea.. Sector 6 please.

Starbuck launches into Sector 6, and passes on her bonus action. Detente! Will the Cylons respond to this gesture? Starbuck's crisis card is:

An Offer of Peace
Skill Check (12 YG)

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

Pass on interrupts. Sorry, guys, my one card cannot help with this check.

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

BSG (Roslin)

Pass on interrupts. I can't help very much at all.

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

BSG (Adama)

Pass on interrupts. Frak, I can't help either.

All this card-discarding is killing us. Starbuck, how do you feel? This isn't really a great one to tank, but if we can't even make it to a partial pass, it'll be a waste of cards.

BSG (Starbuck)

Given that hardly anyone can do much for the check (myself included), I concur the notion to tank. Well, at least we gave morale a boost, before the gods took it back.
