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

BSG (Roslin)

Aw, man, can't I give some trauma to Cally; I'm sure she feels really bad for shooting me without even taking the time to get to know me at all. I'm really not that bad.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Wow. It's funny. I didn't see it coming. But I was feeling like the old President had too many Quorum cards, and was trying to track them. Wow. What a crazy time we live in.

Madam new President. As admiral of the fleet, I feel the need to update you on a couple things.

  • we need fuel and morale, DESPERATLY

  • We have 3 civilian ships out there, and we do not know their manifests. Hopefully, none are carying fuel or morale. But, they don't seem to be in danger, at the moment.

  • We have a boarding party that is ready to board us with the next heavy raiders activation.

Not a pretty picture. I really hope there are good Quorum Cards in your hand, that you can do something with. May the Gods save us!

MOVE: stay in my sector.

ACTION #1: Fire on that Raider.

ACTION #2: TBD, let's see how action 1 goes.

I'm pretty sure none are carrying Morale. There's very little Morale left to go around, after all.

I really hope there are good Quorum Cards in your hand, that you can do something with.

Good luck with that. Checkmate in 2 turns.

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

Starbuck fires:

Die roll: 4. Hit! The skies are again raider-free. Starbuck, what would you like to do for your second action?

Suddenly Starbuck's learned how to aim? The perks of being Admiral, I suppose.

Since the fleet is down to one raptor, I'll ask if anyone wants to play an SP to guarantee the mission. Everyone, please pass or play.

Pass

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

BSG (Cally)

Did I mention how good my cards are?

I play SP-3 !

Unfortunately, the quorum is no help with Morale at this time. I might be able to raise food.

That makes this mission an automatic success. Top card of the crisis deck is going out. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.
