Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

I want to use the XO to launch into space and get over to the Scar Raiders. Can I get close enough to get a shot in?

Only if you have a Full Throttle.

Sadly no Full Throttle. Can I at least move myself into a staging position to protect what we have in the air then?

You can reach Sector 4 if you wish. (Don't forget, if you launch, to specify whether you're taking a viper or assault raptor.)

I will Launch in an assault raptor and head to sector 4.

And there he hangs, like a gym sock on a shower rod. Why did he launch? To get away from groupies, like the Admiral. They can be a positive menace. Zarek's crisis card is:

Rescue Mission (B)
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Zarek (that will never not be weird), when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG (Cally)

I vote option 1, so we can scout, and have enough fuel to get to our new home.

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

BSG (Zarek)

I agree. Option 1.

Morale falls, as does Zarek. Scar, being basically a hyperactive puppy with oversized paws, comes bounding over to Hot Dog. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Zarek's turn. Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Cally)

Well, I could command a couple more RSV to protect the civvies. Or head to. Pegasus and repair CIC. Or fix the busted viper? Scout? Or Comms crisis is done, yes? So I could move there and shuffle the civvies around.

Any thoughts or prefs?
