I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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

(warning, I'm in a goofy mood today. Not sure why)

You woke up?

Zarek plays 1 card. Will the crew lose Fuel or gain Treachery? Cards played:

Unorthodox Plan 4
Evasive Manoeuvre 2
Best of the Best 6
Repair 2
Raptor Specialist 4
Investigative Committee 3
Personal Vices 3

Tally: 18 - 6 = 12. Pass! Zarek draws 2 Treachery in celebration. But he's not alone, for the check contained Personal Vices. Everyone draws Treachery! (Except Romo. That guy.) Not to be outdone, Zarek pairs his Treachery draw with a mutiny card. Multiple cards going out, this will take a moment. Stand by for your cards.

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

BSG (Kat)

So I have to move and I didn't draw an XO. Whichever way I go, the raiders will advance on me as their nearest target, right?

If I were to launch a scout, would anyone be able to help me plan its mission?

No, they advance on the civvies, not you. If they get an activation they'll move to Sector 2 (unless the board changes).

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

I'm afraid I'm not Virgil (The man with the plan).

BSG (Kat)

Well that's unfortunate. Let's hope someone can XO me so I can move back.

I'll move to Sector 3 and Play LS-1 to scout the crisis deck.

(It's really all I can do)

Scouts away!

Die roll: 3. Pass! The top card of the crisis deck is going out. Kat, when you're ready, let me know whether to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.

On account of no raider activation and a jump prep icon I think we should keep this one. I know fuel is tight but there are no good crises, right?
