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

BSG (Roslon)

This is Cottle's first time dying! Talk to Starbuck; she's died twice.

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

BSG

Not Starbuck. This game we've been killing off Laga's Admirals (Hoshi and Adama).

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

BSG (Starbuck)

So? With Doc killed, does that mean I'm Admiral again? Depending on who Laga picks... again.

Is anyone else having South Park moment of "You Killed Laga!"?

I didn't kill Laga this time; I killed -t.

Hey, I've killed everyone but you! But there's still time.

This one is -t's choice. Both the Presidency and the Admiralty are vacant with Cottle's death. The titles will be reassigned per the lines of succession after -t chooses a new character. (I think there are one or two characters that would see -t stay Pradmiral.)

Sorry. Brain got confused. I'm going to blame the battle. Yeah. Battlefield confusion. Not used to seeing it from inside the hangar deck.

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

BSG (Cally)

But who's the doctor?


-t - Aug 14, 2013 4:00:31 pm PDT #20698 of 26134
I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

The doctor has regenerated as Peter Capaldi Chief Galen Tyrol, repairer of worlds! Hi, honey, I'm home. What's been going on?

Hmm, a married couple.

Welcome, President Galen Tyrol! Loyalty and trauma have been sent. Meanwhile, the body of your predecessor, Prince Falls-Like-Autumn-Leaves Cottle, has been Scanned. Does he feel good about being dead? No, of course not, and from beyond the grave he demands that you avenge his death! Cottle is Antagonistic - Order an Attack! The jump track increases by 1, and the eight raiders all attack Galactica one more time:

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

One more hit! Will this be the shot that takes out Fuel? The damage is:

FTL Control! Hey, Cally was in there! Report to Sickbay, Cally. Sorry Cottle's no longer available to look after you, but there's this very friendly doctor name of Simon O'Neill who assures you he'll take excellent care of your ovaries you.

Everyone's Crossroads card has now been resolved. Next up: the Trauma. Will anyone be booted from the game?
