I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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

That does indeed get Adama out of the Brig. Alas, you can't take it with you, and Adama discards:

Iron Will 0
Executive Order 2
Launch Scout 2
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 4
Critical Situation 5
Repair 1

He also reveals his loyalty card, which states:

YOU ARE NOT A CYLON – PERSONAL GOAL (ACQUIRE POWER)

Adama was human! Morale falls by 1. Laga, for the second time this game, I must ask you to pick a new character. Note that your choice of character will have no effect on the distribution of the titles, as Adama lost the Admiralty to Starbuck when he was brigged. When you're ready, please post your choice.

I'm about ready to declare this an actual running gag.

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

Will the new character still be Vice President? I need someone I can continue to work with for the good of humanity.

Any such cards are discarded on execution, so the vice presidency is now effectively vacant.

All right, who wants to be Vice President? Starbuck's already Admiral, so since Cottle thinks he can give me an executive order, he clearly thinks he's executive material, so, Cottle, I dub thee my new Vice President. Let's work together on important public health issues. (I must advise that you stop smoking, at least in public. It sets a poor example.)

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

BSG (Starbuck)

And now we hear why I was shouting?!?!

We need to brig the bitch RIGHT NOW!!!

The skies should clear with next jump icon.

I don't know what you're shouting about, and I'd appreciate your not calling me a bitch, thank you very much.

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

BSG (no Dama)

yeah the mad harridan killed me but that word still rubs me the wrong way.

If I choose a character who outranks Starbuck, I don't get to come back as Admiral?

No. The position isn't vacant.

Oh I get it. OK. For no particular reason, I choose Cally.
