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

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

BSG (Romo)

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.

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.

An XO to Chief would not go amiss at this point. Also, jumping at 4 again.

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

Hey! We are in the blue. Do we want to push the big button, and clear the skies? Just an idea (not that I can do it, but, something Zarek might do on his turn).

Risking 3 Pop is a bit much when only one civvie is currently threatened. We should jump as soon as we get another jump icon, though.

Actually, Zarek, it might be better for you to Comms the civvies away. Might even find a decoy in there.
