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

BSG

Just a quick state-of-play: Cottle had put in COs for what he would do if XO'd; however, that was before Leoben and Baltar made their suggestions. In fairness, I've requested his confirmation as to what he'd like to do considering everyone's advice.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Cottle)

Sorry, I've been out all evening. I am going on the offensive.

I move to Main Batteries and start firing! I also use an SP-3 to improve my odds.

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

BSG (Cain)

Attaboy!

(You should probably indicate which Sector you're firing on.)

(And what card you discard to get up here.)

All has been revealed in COs. Cottle discards a Trust Instincts 0, and fires on Sector 3.

Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10. 4 raiders destroyed! Shame it can only do one sector at a time. Meanwhile, the doughty crews of Command and Communications are irate at being thrown over for another vessel. They trusted you, Sherman! And now you have to pay. Baltar's crisis card is:

Labour Dispute
President's Choice

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

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

BSG (Leoben)

ick. I think take the morale hit but both option do suck.

BSG(Doctor Depression)

Die roll: 8 + 2 = 10

(headdesk) Shoulda gone for the Jump.....

Anyway, I'm inclined to agree with Leoben. Any (non-toaster) dissent?

Ugh, was really hoping for a jump icon. Take the Morale hit, we can't afford to lose Jump Prep right now. We've got to get to the end posthaste.

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

BSG (Toasty Hoshi)

Well, it's not called the 50/50 card. It is called a crisis card for a reason.

That said, I vote for option 2.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

BSG(Doctor Gloom)

Hush up, Cuisanart.

I choose Option 1.

Looks like Hoshi's vote sealed the issue. Morale falls by 2 (ouch).

That concludes Baltar's turn. Hoshi has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Treachery for his variable card draw. Hoshi, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
