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

BSG (Katapult)

I will move to the hangar deck. Where do we think I need to be? Sector 3?

BSG(Major Tom to Ground Katrol)

Sector 5, definitely. Civvie F isn't in immediate danger.

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

BSG ("Chief" Galen Tyrol)

Good hunting! May the Gods smile down on you!

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

BSG

Kat unleashes the fury!

Fire 1: 6. Hit!
Fire 2: 1. Miss.
Fire 3: 1. Miss.
Fire 4: 2. Miss.

"Kat, did you take the Vicodin or the Percocet?"
"...I wasn't supposed to take them both?"

"No, it wasn't like that! There's this other one, kept buzzing me while I was trying to get the shot! That little one out there! Who can concentrate with this little... whatever it is... zipping around?"

Chief's crisis card is:

Unidentified Ship
Skill Check (10 PR)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Romo plays first, Chief last.

Those are two colors I do not draw. Do we want to save what few cards we have, and tank? Or do you think y'all can carry it?

I can help and I know we've been playing fast and loose with the population so far ...but I neeed those cards to protect our identified ships. I vote to TANK

BSG(Pradmiral AAAAAAAAAUGH)

The Hell? How many Crises with no jump icons is that in a row?

I vote to TANK. Everybody brace yourselves.....

The Hell? How many Crises with no jump icons is that in a row?

This is now eight crises in a row with no jump icon. You've had a pretty nightmarish jump cycle so far.

That's a total tank. Romo still throws in one card, because he's a giver like that. Cards played:

Force Their Hand 0
Dradis Contact 0
Violent Outbursts 4

Tally: 0 - 4 = -4. Fail! Not a surprise, that's the point of a tank. But each card in this check tells a story, and that story ends with more ships and Chief mugged. The DC-0 adds two raiders to Sector 1. The VO-4 sends Chief to Sickbay. The FTH-0 forces Chief's hand. Chief, you may either play a card into the check face-up, or draw a mutiny card. If you choose the latter, you'll be off to the Brig again. When you're ready, please post your choice. If you choose to play a card, please also post your choice of card.
