Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

I think I'm in good position to do some damage up here, and I believe I have some more piloting cards coming my way which might mean even more damage is possible.

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

BSG (Zarek)

That does sound promising, so I XO-2 Hot Dog.

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

BSG

For what is an XO but a promise? A promise from the future to the present, and I wanted to develop this further but then I realised two-timing is pretty much the essence of the XO. So. Hot Dog, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders. (You can wait for your Memento card draw if you wish, or if you don't think it'll affect your play, you can just go ahead right away. I'll Memento you when I get the chance.)

I have sent Hot Dog his Memento card draw, which put him (briefly) at 12 cards. He needed to discard one anyway, and as we're trying to rectify an oversight from a previous turn, I had him discard back to 10 cards immediately. His discards are:

Protect the Fleet 0
Evasive Manoeuvre 2

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

BSG (Cally)

I hope the other 10 cards are rockin'. Seems that EV could be useful in our current situation. Curious.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I know I'll be shocked if it turns out N. D. is a toaster.

That's what you get for taking him in the bath with you.

Crap, I'm sorry everyone, work ate me from the bottom the last two days and I've been prepping for my class this evening. Let me see if I can get my move together.

Sorry for the delay. I have Hot Dog's orders. Let's hope it's all worth the wait. I think we can all agree, space is just getting too damn crowded out there. Hot Dog has answers!Let's start here:

Action 1: Play Combat Veteran 4.

He can now activate an RSV three times. Let's see, how about... let's move the RSV from Sector 5 to Sector 2.

Now how about Sector 4 there. 12 ships! Far too many. But Hot Dog can reduce that number! To 11.

Action 2: Reveal as a Cylon - add a Centurion to the Boarding Party track. This game we're going for a Viking motif, I think. Please welcome Harald Hardrada to Galactica.

Hot Dog now moves to the Resurrection Ship and discards down to three cards; he tosses:

Declare Emergency 4
Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Run Interference 3
Maximum Firepower 3
Repair 1

He also discards his mutiny cards, which were:

Controversial Speech
Selfish Act

There! Now there's only 11 ships in Sector 4. Tell you what, let's see if we can snag a raider activation. That'd make it even less crowded there. Zarek's crisis card is coming up next.
