Ahem. In my role as CAG, I recently received a somewhat critical analysis of the ready status of my flight wing from a source I will leave anonymous, but starts with Billy and ends with Tea. He suggests that with all the pantsing, briefing and rogering taking place among Viper pilots it is remarkable we can even walk to our craft, let alone pilot them into combat.

To dignify this comment with a reply would be childish. Much better then, an infantile poem.

Ballad of Galactica's 75th Battle Group Viper Wing
The Best of What's Left

Galactica's pilots; the Gods favored few,
A cauldron of steamy, hormone stew.
Mostly pantsless in pre-flight brief,
"Frak frakkity frak", our lietmotif.
But it's not all cockpits, thrust and throttles,
There's also drugs and fights and bottles!
Strung out, wrung out, rad-soaked Kat,
Boomer/Athena? We've all hit that.
Anders pining, Racetrack whining,
Hotdog's a weenie, I'm just opining.

Apollo with Dualla, but Starbuck beckons,
(Try not to think "Zak's sloppy seconds.")
Skull and Pike and Lt. Redwing
Redshirts all; don't mean a damn thing --
Still who can blame us --We're all such hotties--
if the rec room's filled with tangled bodies?
We take our cues from higher brass,
Whose peccadillos our own surpass.
Tigh's Cylon frakkin, Adama's President packing,
Even tables aren't safe from Baltar sacking...

So please don't worry about our frak fixation;
somehow we'll stagger to battle station.
So Caprica One and Galactica, too:
So say we all, "Roger you."

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

I take it all back, clearly your pilots' professionalism is an example to us all.

Clearly you didn't actually have any work today.

OK, since there's been a stunning lack of discussion about what action to take on the card, I opt to discard one nuke.

One nuke discarded. Final steps:

Cylon Activation: Heavy Raiders. There are no heavies on the board, so the basestar launches one. However, this basestar's hangar is damaged; no effect.

Jump Track? No.

BSG Round 1.3 - Laura Roslin

New Round. Madam President, I am sending you your cards. Please post your move and action. To echo the Admiral's comment, while the choice is yours alone, you may solicit advice from the rest of the crew.

Sorry about the delay, friends. Busy day, but I will send BT my orders in the next few hours.

Fable 2 is making me insane. I got in the elevator with my lunch today, and a guy in there offered me the stick of celery he was holding in exchange for my lunch, and I swear I saw the "-5 Fatness" float up from the celery.
