I think we are due for another Cylon Attack crisis card. We had barely any the first half of the game.

crosses fingers!

Oh, ye of little faith....

First I will send my assistants to steal Leoben's miracle token.

Then I perform the season's greatest dis-disappearing act and use my OPG to raise Population by 2!

(Exactly how my lovely assistants and I accomplish this, you may not want to think about.....)

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

BSG

All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster, who hath wrought a miracle that future generations will speak of as The Mitosis of the Faithful! Um... I'm not really sure how to justify this next crisis, given the sudden restoration of Population, but I invite the crew to pick their favourite from this list:

1. Exuberant celebrations just got way out of hand.
2. Double the people means half the rations of hooch and blow.
3. Still two basestars off the starboard bow.
4. "You came back wrong!"
5. Immigration policy. You know how it is.

Cain's crisis card is:

Riots (the no-jump one)
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your choice of expletives.

Ugh. Fuel and Pop are highest right now, but my gut says we need those to stay up the most. Admiral?

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

BSG (Cain)

Option 1.

Pop is threatened most right now; we can't afford to lose any more than we have to.

Fuel and Pop are also more difficult to raise than Food and Morale.

BSG

Food and Morale both fall by 1! At least the new arrivals are well fed. Not to be outdone, the Cylons add to their population too, with three raiders launching from each basestar.

That concludes Cain's turn. Helon starts his turn on the Resurrection Ship, and therefore draws one card. He has chosen Treachery. Helon, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

So? Is Cain the only one with Miracle Tokens?

She would be, if her supply stretched into the plural. As it is, there is but one miracle token remaining, and it is the Admiral's most prized possession. Aside from the nuke, probably.
