I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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

::crossess fingers that we have enough gas::

Well, you still have 3 Food, so it's entirely possible.

Well, looks like we got us A Civilian Convoy (and an earworm, but maybe that's just me). And because we have so much Morale just lying around we'll trade some for Fuel.

Welcome to the Crossroads, my friends, be very careful what deals you agree to.

Too many options for that one. One Convoy to rule them all.

A Civilian Convoy costs 3 Fuel. However, thanks to a loophole in the rules, resources cannot go negative. (What would negative population look like? Zombies in space?) Fuel falls to 0. Admiral Cottle then chooses to lose MOral to raise Fual back to 1. The fleet lives!

Crossroads cards are about to go out. Everyone, let me know which of your trauma tokens you will place on your crossroads card. Once I have everyone's choice, I'll resolve all the cards, starting with Cally (the current player). I'll put up a board summary to help with your decisions.

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

BSG (Roslon)

Just like you humans to exploit a loophole to survive. You make me sick.

This Crossroads is going to be interesting.

BSG (Starbuck)

I'm not going to lie, I'm as surprised as you are that we are still alive. What is this? Third chance? Maybe we should have called it Space Cat instead of Space Camel.

By my records, Morale has twice fallen to 1 and thereafter been raised to 3 before falling again. Fuel has just fallen to 1 for the third time. I hereby dub this crew "U2's Fleas", for verily have you been living on the Edge.
