No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

MOVE: Discard PI-3 to get over to Pegasus, and head to ENGINE ROOM.

ACTION: Play Repair 2 to fix ENGINE ROOM.

BONUS ACTION: Play XO-1 on Adm. Zarek. Hopefully to play on Demetrius, and NOT become all Toasterly.

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

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

BSG

Admiral Zarek, 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.

bt, are there new rules for discarding Treachery, or am I remembering that email wrong?

There are. You can discard positive-value Treachery without penalty. If you discard 0-value Treachery, you draw a mutiny card.

OK, then! I will discard ABM-3 to move to the Demetrius' Bridge and I will Draw a Mission.

(I considered using Tactical Plot, then drawing on my turn, but I think we're too close to jumping for that to be a good idea)

Our first mission! And it is:

Needs of the People
Skill Check (18 YGB)

There are no interrupts on mission skill checks, so the check begins, Romo first, Chief last. Romo, please post your play. Everyone else can send me COs.

As did I. Food isn't threatened that often, but it'd be nice to have a buffer during all those frakking SHORTAGES.
