Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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

BSG (The Cottle)

The first SoE action is mine, yes?

If that is true I will fire on the basestar and reinforce my aim with this SP-3 because holding onto cards is for suckers and shooting basestars rocks.

And if that is not true I will wait quietly for other people to do some stuff.

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

BSG

Awesome fun times for all! Dr Feelgood has happy pills for everyone. The PP-5 negates the Food loss from the SoE. Everyone may either move or take an action. Adama, Starbuck and Roslin, you can all send me COs for your orders if you wish. Doc Cottle, you're up first.

Edit: like that!

Cottle activates Pegsus CIC, with added SP-3:

Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. Hit! (Without the SP, we'd be damaging Pegasus instead.) Let's see what you got:

Structural Damage! All further attacks on the basestar are at +2 to hit.

Adama is up next.

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

BSG (Roslin)

Whoa, clever move, Cottle!

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Wow, doc sure had some nice cards there! Way to go.

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

BSG (Adama)

Cleared to go back to work, you say? Excellent. I will move to Command.

Adama is back in Command! So to speak. I have COs from Starbuck:

Play Launch Scout 2 on the crisis deck.

I have rolled for the scout:

Die roll: 6. Pass!

And Starbuck has opted to keep the crisis card on top.

Roslin has used her action to use her OPG (Skilled Politician). I have sent Roslin the top four cards of the Quorum deck. President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice of Quorum card.

BSG (Roslin)

Since I got a free action, I figured I would use my OPG rather than let it go to waste the whole game, as it so often does. And I have some good news and bad news!

The good news is I found exactly the card I was looking for.

The bad news is I found other cards that would have been great.

I hope the Quorum does not forget and offers those options again, but for now, we must deal with the most pressing matter: I have received Authorization of Brutal Force, and I choose to—I believe the technical term is "open up a can of whoop-ass on"—destroy 3 Raiders in Sector 3. I've got your back, Starbuck.

Nice one. I'm starting to think we are all human.
