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

BSG (Starbuck)

Don't care for either option. I'd say #2.

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

BSG (Roslin)

Me too, obviously. That way we wouldn't have to waste an XO getting me out of Sickbay and could use it for the space battle.

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

BSG (Adama)

So say we all Option 2

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

Fuel falls by 1 as a raptor is repurposed into a President-lifting device! Next, the basestar fires:

Die roll: 8. Hit! By CO, Roslin assigns the damage to Pegasus:

Main Batteries damaged! Adama lands in Sickbay. See, if you'd sent Roslin to Sickbay too, you could've had company.

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.

Main Batteries damaged! Adama lands in Sickbay. See, if you'd sent Roslin to Sickbay too, you could've had company.

Well, that's one way to make it back to Galactica without burning a card. Not saying it's the BEST way. But. eh.

True! This way, you can burn four cards!

BSG (Roslin)

Hey, Adama already has a lot of cards anyway! He would have had to discard a few of them.

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

BSG (Doc)

Hm, I may be able to do something about that.

But first - is CIC still the best place for me? I mean, basestar to shoot at, so probably, but I could move now so if I'd be extra useful somewhere else, lemme know.

So there are certainly a lot of cylons who need shooting. And Bill languishing in Sickbay. Is there other stuff that needs doing?

CIC is more powerful than Weapons Control, although we do risk hurting civvies. Right now we have one person on each ship and one in the sky, and I think that's a pretty good distribution. With only four people, this is probably a good way to distribute ourselves, especially to avoid dropping cards hopping back and forth.
