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

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

BSG (Starbuck)

MOVE: Launch into sector 5.

ACTION: Play Scout for Fuel 6. (Before some crisis strips me of it)

I also play interrupt SP3, to make it a sure thing.

Doc, I think a nuke in sector 6 with the raiders there, would be a good thing.

SKYRIM

I may have stayed up too late last night playing. Trying to get to a good "stopping point". Finished one quest, and wanted to tidy a couple things, and get poised for the next one. Time slipped away. 11pm. 12:30am. 2am. Yeah, After stealing a horse to ride to a location that isn't a city (no wagon ride), that I hadn't been to before (no quick travel), I came across a dragon. Killed it. Then proceeded down the road, sans horse, since it was burned up or scared away by the dragon, only to be happened upon by a group of bandits. Those rat bastards managed to kill me. And I was reborn without all my dragon loot. So, I took that as a sign to go to bed. Mental note. Kill Dragon, go to system menu, SAVE. Just saying.

All that to say, today, I'm paying the price. TIRED! Thankfully, it's summer, so not much doing today. I think I'll have a coke with lunch (I usually only drink water).

MOVE: Launch into sector 5.

That's not a move. Activating the Hangar Deck is an action. Winds up the same, but still.

I also play interrupt SP3, to make it a sure thing.

It's still not a sure thing, the roll can fail on a 1.

Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. Pass. Fuel increases by 1 again. Anyone would think Starbuck had taken the Fuel in the first place, given how easily she's been finding it. ...Well, someone seems to think that anyway. Starbuck's crisis card is:

Cylon Accusation
Skill Check (10 YGP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, plesae pass or play.

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

Oh yes that's a good Skyrim tip. Save save save. Any time you start a new dungeon, any time you see a foe you've never encountered before and especially after killing each dragon.

Did you understand how to equip new shouts... ooh and did you find the word of power when you got the dragon stone after you retrieved the claw for the shopkeeper?

Yes on equip shouts. Easy enough. Yes on the dragon stone.

BSG (Starbuck)

I have limited card draw on this check, folks. I can help, though.

Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins:

Roslin is up first. All cards are played face up.

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

BSG (Roslon)

Well, that's just delightful. Have fun with this Broadcast Location-1.
