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

BSG (Zarek)

I'd really like to damage at least one of them so that a basestar activation isn't doubly brutal.

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

BSG (Cally)

I think holding out till 4 is still on the table

I agree.

So? Potshots? Two of you are in firing positions. I'm thinking Weaps, to shoot at the basestars. Zarek, you are already there, which gives you two shots. One for each? Cripple them, and reduce what they barf out at us until we can jump?

That's the plan, yep. I hope it can be a bit more strategic.

MOVE: to Command (in case we need to order those RSV's around, ready for an XO).

ACTION: Play an XO-1, and politely order my Admiral Zarek to blow shit up.

May the gods be with you.

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

BSG

It is on! I have COs from Zarek. He activates Weapons Control in the general direction of Sector 1. Will his bravado go unassisted? No, Cally plays a Strategic Planning 4. Again. Is it enough?

Die roll: 5 + 2 = 7. Hit! And it does: Structural Damage.

Zarek follows up by firing at the basestar in Sector 2. Everyone passes on interrupts.

Die roll: 4. Miss.

Well, now he's pissed. Clearly this is someone's fault, and Zarek is determined to find out who. Cally's crisis card is:

Interrogation
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Zarek, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I'd prefer not to discard any (I know, shocker). And I'd hate to send someone to sickbay. But, we've voiced doubts about a player. This would be an opportunity to look at a loyalty card.

BSG (Zarek)

Could we catch a break? ANYTHING BUT STRUCTURAL DAMAGE is what I wanted. Ugh.

I can handle the discard. It's tempting to look at someone's Loyalty, but it seems pointless to do it right before Sleeper, unless I manage to pick a Cylon. I'm hesitant to take Hot Dog out of the sky, too.

Anyone volunteer to go to Sickbay to save Cally's cards?

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

BSG (Baltar)

Not it, only because my turn is next.

Romo?

I wouldn't want to take Romo out of Main Batteries. Location-wise, I think you're actually the best candidate for sacrifice. You're not situated anywhere useful and there's plenty of time to get you out.
