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

BSG (Doc)

Oh, man I don't know. I could see either way. A pilot and two support, we are some crew.

Aw, Cally shooting the Cylon who killed Adama warms my heart. So close to canon!

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

BSG (Roslin)

And after I decided not to send you right back to the Brig! THE NERVE! You don't deserve to be President, you insol—well, okay, I guess you did assassinate me and that means you sort of have dibs.

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

Damn, you're talkative. Adama and Hoshi weren't this talkative when we killed them.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Considering the mortality rate of the leaders in this game, whoever ends up President is likely to end up with a very short term.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

I vote Cally.

I declare the new President of the Twelve Colonies to be Cally Henderson. The Quorum card hand is going out. Meanwhile, the last one of these worked so well, why don't we do it again? Cally's crisis card is:

Rescue Mission (B)
Admiral's Choice

I would invite Admiral Starbuck to make a choice, but since one choice leads to an instant Cylon victory (and since we know who is Cylon and who is human), I assume she will choose Option 2. You lose a raptor and Fuel falls by 1, as Starbuck orders a mission to extricate Cally from Roslin's fanatical cadre of bodyguards, the Rosleen! You now have 2 Fuel to carry you 5 Distance. Easy!

Next we have a raider activation. There's one on the board, and it fires at Starbuck!

Raider 1: 8. Viper destroyed! Starbuck, would you like to play an EM? (If not, you will start your turn in Sickbay, and you can send me COs for your single-card card draw.

Starbuck plays an Evasive Manoeuvre 1.

Raider 1a: 6 - 2 = 4. Miss.

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cally's insaugural turn, a turn in which she both killed and became a President. Starbuck has opted to draw Green for her variable draw. Admiral Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

Do I get the dead lady's Quorum Cards?
