Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Zarek has made his choice. It is Icy Moon. Zarek has opted for the die roll to attempt to increase Food. The roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

Everyone passes on interrupts.

Die roll: 1. Fail. Oh dear. A raptor goes spinning off into the ether. But how can that compare to the excitement of... the Sleeper Phase?! Yes, new loyalty for everyone! Cards are going out now. Stay tuned!

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

Bah. Would have been great to raise Food twice in one turn.

Loyalty cards are on their way out, and the pressing question is: who is the Mutineer? The card gets tossed to the table by...

Hot Dog.

Yes, Hot Dog is harbouring thoughts of sedition, which means (among other things) that he draws another mutiny card. Zarek, as usual, has the choice of which card to give Hot Dog. Options are going out now.

This means that Hot Dog has two mutiny cards. As the Mutineer, he can take it! But if he draws a third card, he'll land in the Brig. He also draws another loyalty card immediately, to replace the Mutineer card. That loyalty card has been sent.

From now on, on Hot Dog's turn, if his crisis card has a jump icon then he will draw another mutiny card. If he already has two mutiny cards when this happens, he'll choose one to discard and get sent to the Brig.

Zarek, when you're ready, please let me know which mutiny card to give Hot Dog.

It's kind of fun knowing everyone's Mutiny's cards. Mwahahaha. (It's kind of awesome giving everyone the good ones.)

Got my eye on you, though, Hot Dog. If anyone's going to lead a mutiny, it's going to be me, godsdammit.

Against... yourself?

Anyway, we are nearly all done with Apollo's turn. I just need to check something with one of the players and we'll be good to move on to Athena's turn. She has opted to draw 1 Green, 1 Red and 1 Blue.

Administrative note: Hot Dog's Memento card draw exhausted the Piloting deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Athena)

I think I want to get all cozy with Apollo.

I move to the President's Office and draw 2 Y

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

BSG (Cally)

So? You had 7 cards, you just got a fresh crop of cards, you were in the air with a heavy raider in your sector, and you pick this point in time to go to the presidents office to draw even more cards?

Nooooo, that doesn't sound toasty at all.

Er, we just jumped. The skies are clear.

Also, she is a toaster. Everything she does is toasty.
