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

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.

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

BSG

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Apollo)

I can help.
