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

BSG (Romo Arigato)

On on its way out, the last Raider bumps the wall and because of the Structural Damage, the basestar falls apart! Right?

that is definitely what happened.

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

Silly Admiral. If there is one thing Tom Zarek has learned over his long career, if you want something to go boom, you have to do it yourself.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Athena)

I'm mulling over my possibilities, any suggestions?

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

BSG (Cally)

Make basestar go boom? XO me to move other RSV? XO Hot Dog? Shoot at Raiders?

BSG (Athena)

I'm going to kind of..compromise.

I'm going move to Main Batteries and then play Raptor Specialist to get us a new Assault Raptor.

Athena discards an All Hands on Deck 0 to reach Pegasus. The RS she plays is the Raptor Specialist 3. And now the fleet has an extra assault raptor!

Now, with everyone stocking up on Politics last turn, you'd think there was something going on. Maybe they all want to run for President. Athena's crisis card is:

Elections Loom
Skill Check (8 YG)

Ironic, really. Athena doesn't get to vote! Morale is at the starting value of 10. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Zarek plays first, Athena last.

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

BSG (Zarek)

I can help—obviously most of us can—but I was hoping to use the card for its effect if possible. We overplayed the hell out of the last check; surely someone picked up an IC.

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

BSG (Baltar)

Pass on interrupts

I can help a little.

ETA: the Admiral certainly has a point, Elections and Investigative Committees go together like ice cream and chocolate syrup.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

You know, this is all just a little bit more about me than I was expecting...

I can help. I don't have an IC, more's the pity.
