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

BSG (Leoben)

It all depends on what the Doc decides.

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

BSG (Apollo)

I'm pretty confident in the Doc, who made this check verrrrry interesting; I'm guessing at least one, if not more, of those 0-value cards was his. Besides, screwing us over now, after his turn is over, would be stupid. I can't imagine the strategic advantage there.

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

BSG (Adm. Louis Hoshi)

I'm pretty confident in the Doc
I would agree with that.

Also an interesting observation that Doc might have added the 0-cards.

Which then makes us wonder, is it a spike of the blue? Or destiny being destiny? If it was destiny, then, the person who spiked it before played to help? Which leads me to think, maybe Leoben spiked the first.

But then again, this is ALL specultation. Gotta love this game!

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Let the Doc make it better)

I'm going to Remove the PV-3 thus making the check a pass.

Now? Who is the ill player? Seems only fitting the Doc should make this choice.

BSG (Doc)

Leoben is going to Sickbay. My thinking is that since he draws fewer cards anyway, his being in sickbay at the start of his turn has a small impact on our group card draw.

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

BSG

The check passes! This means that Cottle draws two Blue cards thanks to the IU-0. The Consequence triggers a lot, and Cottle diagnoses Leoben with metal fatigue and quite possibly Mr Roboto syndrome. Off he goes to Sickbay!

Next, heavy raiders activate, which does nothing interesting as the jump track reaches the end. The fleet jumps! Two destinations to the Admiral. Or it would be, except Cottlepalooza is still running. He's your Mission Specialist for this jump, and will receive three destinations for his consideration. Doc Cottle, when you're ready, please post the fleet's destination.

The fleet burns dinosaur bones all the way to a Desolate Moon. Distance is now at 3, and Fuel is at 5. That concludes Cottlepalooza. Leoben starts in Sickbay, so he draws only one card. He has opted to draw Yellow. Leoben, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Ah, that's right. That explains the email with just one option.

Jeez, Doc. You did a lot that turn. Maybe you should take a smoke break. (Just who is growing all that tobacco?)
