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

BSG (Cain)

There are so many ways we can lose right now and a tiny set of possibilities that allow us to win. Let's see what happens.

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

It is indeed so, and I'm afreaid the next crisis card sits firmly on one side of that ledger. At least it's not another attack card. Just because having a Pradmiral worked out so well the last time, Cottle's crisis card is:

Declare Martial Law
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your choice, along with your preferred selection of expletives.

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

BSG (Toasty Hoshi)

Interesting!!

I'd say Population is more directly threatened at this point.

I agree. I choose Option 1.

Cain is now Pradmiral! Like Apollo before her. I wonder if she'll wind up getting executed too.

Thatnks to Cottle's Negotiations, there is no activation this turn. No jump icon either, so that concludes Cottle's turn. Leoben has opted to draw 2 Yellow and 1 Blue. Leoben, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Cain is now Pradmiral

Well, since Baltar never had time to use the Quorum, I know what Quorum cards I'm getting back!

(P.S. They won't help us.)

Leoben, fire on Sector 4? I...I guess that keeps us alive for one more turn maybe.

Administrative note: Cottle's card draw exhausted the Engineering deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Also note that the two remaining ships contain 2 Population and 1 Population, 1 Morale. The loss of either ship at this point would reduce a resource to 0.

Carry on.
