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

BSG (Cally)

WhooHoo! We passed! And didn't shoot the moon doing it! Great team work, folks!

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

BSG (Zarek)

Okay, what needs doing? I could fire on the basestar, but it might be best to wait for an XO so I get a couple shots. It doesn't look like anyone is really poised to make great use of an XO (we have some time to get Athena out, I suppose).

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

BSG (Romo)

One hit on the basestar would take it out.

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

BSG

One hit on the basestar would take it out.

Only if it's a Critical Hit.

Shoot at the basestar. Crit hit kills it, but maybe we can stop it from belching more raiders.

BSG (Zarek)

With no other suggestions to consider, I will fire at the basestar.

Pass on interrupts, let the Structural Damage help us out. I stand by for an XO to take it out completely.

Zarek has eschewed using any performance-enhancing skill cards, but that doesn't necessarily stop the rest of you. Possible interrupt: SP. Everyone, please pass or play. You can send me COs for Calcs too while you're at it.

BSG

We're back in it, and everyone has passed on interrupts.

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Tom Zarek, you suck at hitting damaged basestars. In fact, you seem to stand a better chance of having hit yourself. Zarek's crisis card is:

Crash Landing
Skill Check (6 PR)

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.

GODSDAMMIT. A 75% chance of getting a hit and I still miss. Twice.

Pass on interrupts. I can help on the check. If we fail, should we take the Fuel hit or the Morale hit?

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

BSG (Baltar)

I am no help whatsoever. Probably Morale? Not sure.
