BSG (Roslin)
I just returned from Comic-Con—I mean, um, Kobol-Con—and I cannot come up with any good flavor text for the fact that it is time for some
Truth and Reconciliation.
I am really tired of these "discard half your hand" options, especially after I got a pretty good draw, so I choose
Option 1
and send
Adama
to the Brig, mostly because I can easily get him out anyway with a Quorum card (and then give a rousing Speech). Don't worry, honey.
Cottle, you can probably take out the basestar on your turn, and then hopefully Adama can XO me and we'll be back to normal.
BSG (Starbuck)
Wiat, did I miss something?? You were stoking the Quorum fire, and now you are playing a crisis card?? Is this the one with option 1 having a -1 to Morale? One of our lowest resources???
BSG (Roslin)
A) Yes, I was stoking the Quorum fire. All Quorum cards are not useful immediately. And sometimes you get a card on the second draw that is useful but cannot be played.
B) I...I always choose a Crisis Card? This isn't new? Like...the Quorum + Crisis combo is basically how President Roslin works?
C) Morale is one of the easiest resources to raise.
D) Unlike Fuel, which is lower.
E) Don't freak out.
BSG (Starbuck)
Don't freak out?! WTF. You just put your boyfriend, or Admiral, in the BRIG... AND dropped our second lowest resource. In the brig, he will have a great deal of problems playing into checks. And how many cards will be wasted to get him OUT?!?! Far more than ruining your great hand.
Remember when we were thinking we might all be human?! Yeah, I'm not thinking that anymore.
If it's so bloody easy to raise it, THEN DO IT!
BSG
Ok. First things first, as you will have gathered I sent Roslin her second Quorum card and then her choice of Visions. She has chosen:
Truth and Reconciliation
President's Choice
She has made her choice; Morale falls to 3, and Adama has been escorted to the Brig. You can't do any Admiralling from the Brig, so Lieutenant Kara Thrace, congratulations on your promotion. All hail Admiral Stormageddon Starbuck!
Next, the basestar fires.
Die roll: 7. Hit!
Roslin assigns the damage to
Pegasus.
The basestar hits:
Airlock!
Cottle breathes a sigh of relief. 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.

And how many cards will be wasted to get him OUT?!?!
Zero!
I just said I could get him out with a Quorum card.
If it's so bloody easy to raise it, THEN DO IT!
I'VE ALREADY DONE IT ONCE AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN WHEN I GET A CHANCE I JUST SAID YOU CAN'T USE THE SECOND CARD YOU DRAW OH MY GOD STOP YELLING GEEZ.
Seriously, maybe actually listen to exactly what I said before attacking me? Lords of Kobol, I know what I'm doing.
BSG (Starbuck)
I'm sorry, I'm having a lot of trouble trusting someone who doesn't consult on BRIGGING a team member who isn't showing any signs of being a Cylon. And now you want us to trust you with an XO?
BSG (Roslin)
I chose Adama because you and Cottle are more needed for the space battle. It was simple. Nothing to do with suspicions. I made him my Vice President, after all.
BSG (Doc)
Hm. How about I don't
move
and I
XO-1 Laura
and we get Adama free before his turn and try to get me an XO down the road to get a couple of shots at the basestar. I don't feel lucky at the moment.
