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

BSG (Romo)

Ooh, that is true, although I can't nuke anything nor XO anyone to nuke anything.

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

BSG (Kat)

Maybe sprining Zarek is our best option. If could xo me I could use my OPG to destroy that Heavy. I land in sickbay but then I get out on my turn... without my card draw. OK maybe not.

BSG(Tom after Tom)

Well, there'll be no nuking this turn then. You could position yourself on Pegasus, then get me out so I can go somewhere useful. Then we can be XO'd as appropriate.

I am hesitant to break out the OPGs this early in the game, but it seems like a good time since we could use all hands on deck. Where do you want to go on Galactica, Zarek? I presume I can't move you to Pegasus.

BSG(Springheel Tom)

Well, with all the pew pew pew we seem in need of, Weapons Control is probably good.

All right, then I will hippity hop to CIC with this RT-0 and spring Zarek and fling him into Weapons Control.

My fee, sir?

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

BSG

Romo's fee is Zarek's entire worldly goods. All of Zarek's skill cards are now in Romo's possession. One might posit that Romo has been taking a similar approach to the fleet's supply of Twinkies. His crisis card is:

Food Shortage (B)
President's Choice

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

Ahahahaha this is perfect. I was going to have to discard three cards anyway. What's one more?

I choose Option 2 and discard RT-0, PV-3, CP-1, LS-1.

Discards done, Food falls by 1. The raiders glide into Sector 6, and the jump track advances. That concludes Romo's turn. Zarek's cards are going out. Freebird Zarek, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
