Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

BSG (Cally)

I agree with the lawyer.

I choose option two. Surely everything will be fine, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Apollo already protesting the precious Twinkie supply, eh? I see which way the wind is blowing.

No, no, I adjusted, sorry, typo!

Like you have to edit to make me look crazy. Fine. No idea what wind is blowing where.

Elected officials taking the advice of their constituents, what is the fleet coming to?

BSG (Pres. Apollo)

I aim to please.

I am also taking requests for my upcoming turn regarding who might be able to make use of an XO. I assume Zarek would still be available to fire at the basestar, or Hot Dog might be useful now that he's in the skies.

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

BSG

Option 2 it is. The Twinkies are on the line! Everyone passes on interrupts:

Die roll: 8. Pass! Apollo's emergency supply has been found and distributed, over his vocal objections. You see, 'President' is more of a ceremonial role, really.

Finally, raiders and jump track both advance. That concludes Hot Dog's turn. Apollo has opted to draw 1 Yellow and 1 Green for his variable draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Pres. Apollo)

Hey! Those were my Twinkies! I demand to be more than a figurehead! I am not just some meathead pilot (no offense, Hot Dog & Athena), I am your executive branch authority here!

Really, though, I don't want to do anything without input, what with being a man of the people and everything. I'll hold on my orders for a few to take any XO requests. And then I will consider them with my executive brain and make an executive decision. But, uh, with input, that kind of executive decision.

Noooooo, why should Athena take any offence from being called a meathead?
