But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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

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.

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

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).

Before we move onto Cottle-B-Gone, -t, please choose a replacement character. You'll then receive a new loyalty card and 3 new trauma.

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

Holy cow!

Oh! Awesome! Go for the all-Antagonistic set!

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

BSG (Calli-fragil-isitic)

Whoa I'm not sure I can handle all this excitement!

Excitement? I'm hoping it's not impending doom.

When we survive this (because we will!), we only need one more jump, right?

I'm not sure. We've never survived the Crossroads before. But this time we will!

Just to piss off PC.

We survived Crossroads last time; Baltar just immediately won the game for the Cylons on his turn.

But, yes, you have to make a final jump to win.

But this time we will!

Not if ex-Cottle chose an option that damages Galactica and you lose that last Fuel!
