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 time! I have everyone's starting draws, and they are:

Chief: 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Blue
Romo: 2 Yellow, 1 Purple
Zarek: 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Purple

Ryan turns five today, which means I come bearing gifts! Ryan is getting games and dinosaur books and absolutely zero chance of turning out to be a genocidal machine in human form. The rest of you get a somewhat different selection of goodies. Let the Search for Home begin!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Kat)

Woohoo let'e get this party started!

I will launch into sector 5 and move to Sector 4.

Consider yourself launched. Hey, in Daybreak you have a choice of vehicles. As a general principle, I'll assume you launch in an assault raptor when one's available. Let me know if you'd rather a bog-standard viper.

Meanwhile, there's a new trend among the young kids of the fleet these days, known only as 'Space Twerking'. Apparently they got the idea out of Starbuck's (very) unauthorised biography. Of course, it's all fun and games, until someone loses an eye - then it becomes a sport! Will Romo allow them to take it all the way to Regionals? Kat's crisis card is:

Controversial Manuscript
President's Choice

President Romo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

The good news is, we don't have to burn our precious cards on this crisis. The bad news is, it's a crisis. Um. My vote is option 1, if anyone cares what the knuckle draggers think.

Sounds good! Option 1 it is.

Chief Tyrol's inspiring position of "You're not expecting me to fix that, are you?" wins out. Space twerking is banned throughout the fleet, in favour of a catalogue of Romo Lampkin's approved dance styles (chapters 1 through 6 are devoted to Morris dancing). Morale falls by 1!

Finally, the raiders and jump track both advance. That concludes Kat's turn. Chief's cards are going out. Chief, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
