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

Ladies & Gentlemen of the fleet, this is your Admiral speaking. We have our new coordinates for our FTL jump. It looks like we've had some luck! First, we had no unwanted vistors while at our last location. Maybe we gave them the slip. We should be so lucky. With our current jump, we have landed at a Cylon Refinery! We went a distance of TWO and only burned ONE fuel.

We do have the option to gain TWO additional fuel with a roll of 6 or higher. I'd rather not do it, unless we have an SP to help the roll. Does anyone have one to help the cause?

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

BSG (Baltar)

Alas, no, but nice navigation skills! We'll be home in no time!

Wait, is it Sleeper Phase already? There goes the neighborhood.

I do believe the Good GM mentioned that in the email with the choices.

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

BSG (Helo)

Alas I still have no plan but extra fuel would be nice. Will Ryan be rolling the die?

Extra fuel is always nice. We got some my last turn, and this jump was half price. I think we will be OK, even if we don't go for it. I'd rather not risk some vipers for a 25% chance. Without the SP, I will not approve the mission.

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

BSG

Is that a decision?

I suppose so, since nobody has stepped up with a plan. PASS on the gamble for more fuel.

Loyalty cards are going out now. Of course, the news everyone is waiting to hear is: who is the Mutineer? Well, tonight ladies and gentlemen, won't you give a warm round of applause to our resident viper jockey, Karl "Helo" Agathon! Yes, he is the mutineer of hearts this game. He accordingly draws a third loyalty card, and a mutiny card to boot. They've gone out too.

Before we conclude Helo's turn, there's one piece of housekeeping to take care of. I've been neglecting Hoshi's weakness, which requires that he discard a card every time he uses a skill card action. He's done so twice this game, playing an XO-1 on turn 2.1 and the SfF-6 last turn. Hoshi, in order to rectify matters, could you please discard two skill cards now? Thanks.

Sorry about that.

Hoshi's discards are:

Trust Instincts 0
Trust Instincts 0

And that concludes Helo's eventful turn. Apollo's turn is next, but there's something I need to check first.
