Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

Let's move them both to sector 5.

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

BSG

But that's away from the raiders! How am I going to blow them up now?

Bah. Clearly there has to be some kind of retribution. Ok, I decree that those two ships are running on ethanol, so moving them means you've created a:

Food Shortage
President's Choice

I'm not at my computer right now, but you should all know this card by now. Hoshi, send me COs for 3 discards if that's Apollo's choice. Apollo, if you choose -1 Food and discard, you can post your 2 discards. (Newpollo does not discard randomly.)

President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (President Apollo)

Hoshi, how are your cards? I can afford to discard 2, although we don't have a lot of cards right now. Taking a big Food hit this early is probably not advisable.

I got a few. Prefer not to loose them. But. If the President asks, I will obey.

We've gotten a couple bonus draws, so we're doing better than we otherwise would, and I want to keep our resources as high as we can for now. I choose Option 2 and discard CP-1, CP-2.

Hoshi discards:

Restore Order 3
Restore Order 4
Trust Instincts 0

Finally, the raiders and jump track advance for the third turn in a row. That concludes Hoshi's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 1Y/1G for his variable draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Apollo)

Oof! Sad to lose those cards.

So who wants an XO? Should I have Hoshi move the civvies a little more, or does someone want to shoot at the basestar? Anyone have a trick up their sleeve?

Of course, Hoshi could have discarded that TI-0 to move the civvies a little more on his turn, soooooo.

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

BSG (Leoben)

About all I could do with an xo is draw more blue.
