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.

BSG

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.

damn it, another earworm.

Ok boys and girls and sentient artificial life forms, are you all sitting comfortably? It's time for the Crossroads. All the cards have gone out, and I hvae everyone's choice of trauma. It's time to play "Please, I Want to Live"!

First contestant is Cally, and she's here tonight making a Miraculous Return. She's gone Benevolent - I Believe! There's a lot happening on this option.

1. Morale increases by 1!
2. The destroyed viper makes a comeback!
3. The eight raiders are activated... twice! There are no civilian ships on the board, so Galactica gets fired on 16 times. Here's the first round:

Raider 1a: 4. Miss.
Raider 2a: 4. Miss.
Raider 3a: 3. Miss.
Raider 4a: 3. Miss.
Raider 5a: 3. Miss.
Raider 6a: 4. Miss.
Raider 7a: 7. Miss.
Raider 8a: 3. Miss.

Ooh, swing and a miss. Eight times. Let's see if they do any better now they've warmed up:

Raider 1b: 5. Miss.
Raider 2b: 8. Hit!
Raider 3b: 1. Miss.
Raider 4b: 3. Miss.
Raider 5b: 6. Miss.
Raider 6b: 8. Hit!
Raider 7b: 8. Hit!
Raider 8b: 4. Miss.

So, that would be a yes. Three hits! And the Fuel token is still in the running. Will the crew survive this pummeling? The damage is:

Armory
Command
Weapons Control

Fortunately for Cally, she just vacated the Armoury for the sunnier pastures of FTL Control. That concludes her Crossroads card.

BSG

Starbuck is next. She wants you to hear her Testimony. But she's a stroppy baggage, and has gone Antagonistic - Scapegoat! It was all Roslin's fault, she says. Roslon Prime, you now draw two skill cards and two trauma. The trauma's up to me, but what would you like for your skill card draw?

BSG (Roslon)

How dare you, Starbuck! After all I've done for you! Pointing fingers, so crass. I'll draw R/Y.

And once again, Morale is up to 3. But Galactica is halfway to doom! Thanks for the assist, Cally! Have fun fighting that space battle.

BSG

Roslin draws 1 Red, 1 Yellow and 2 trauma. That's all supposed to be secret, but Roslin just can't keep one of them to herself. She pulled a:

Disaster!

If she were human she'd be executed. What happens to Cylons? They draw 2 more trauma. Roslin winds up with a total of 3 new trauma.

That concludes Starbuck's Crossroads card.

BSG

Roslin's all trauma'd up. What's she doing with it? That disaster has given her a Disturbing Vision. She's going Antgonistic - What Have You Done? Lucky woman, she's getting... Two more trauma! Ooh, that's put her in a murderatin' mood. And on this boat, only one person ever gets murderated: Admiral Cottle, you've fallen for the oldest trick in the book - felled by an exploding cigarette. Cottle is executed! Cottle reveals his loyalty cards:

YOU ARE NOT A CYLON
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON - PERSONAL GOAL (USE CAUTION)

That PG would have cost Population if unresolved. Instead, his death costs 1 Morale. Cottle also discards all his skill cards:

Consolidate Power 1
Launch Scout 1
Repair 2
Scientific Research 5

Meanwhile, Roslin draws her two new trauma. And wouldn't you know it, she's pulled another Disaster! Roslin is now sitting on a total of 9 trauma. I'm sure she'll be ok.

That concludes Roslin's Crossroads card.

BSG (Roslon)

Don't ever get attached to your cards, Cottle.

Or your identity, in this game. That's, what, the third execution (not counting my SHOT TO THE FACE since I retained my character).
