You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I learned to sing singing along with my dad's Beatles records growing. This may be one of the awesomest ever.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

While I love the Beatles, I just can't play Rock Band and Guitar Hero. The GUI messes with my eyestrain BADLY.

However, that cinematic was GLORIOUS.

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

I'm also really excited for The Beatles Rock Band. The art is GREAT. [link]
Oh my. I've been holding out on Rock Band. I think I just found the excuse to buy it. Me LUVS Beatles!

(as long as people don't gang up explicitly, which I hate)

With the Admiral choice out there, I'm not sure of the long term consequences of each to give good advice. I'd lean towards avoiding the combat, but that could be my own personal pacifist tendencies.

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

Given that, picking a viper pilot was an interesting choice. I may have to design some Skill Cards which offer a "Can't we all just get along?" action.

Ahem, Boomer is a RAPTOR pilot. IJS.

A raptor pilot who so far has done considerably more in the way of shooting and blowing stuff up than your CAG has managed.

Ok, I should amend that a little. I think you've both managed to blow up exactly one craft. You got a basestar, he got his own viper. That's sort of even.

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

We got through the last cylon encounter with no civilian losses. Would this be our first loss of morale?

You've lost 1 Morale previously in turn 1.5, with the Skill Check Cylon Screenings (intentionally failed). If you choose -1 Morale at this point, it will go from 9 to 8. (-2 Population will take you from 12 to 10.)
