Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

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

BSG (Admiral Hoshi)

So that's a 90% chance of additional resources lost with option 1.

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

BSG

If you fail the die roll. So it's actually a 27/80 chance, or 9/80 with an SP.

Gotta love math.

Well, it wouldn't be a crisis card if it had good options. I suppose a 27/80th of a chance of 2nd resource is better than 100% loss of two resources.

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Apollo)

So there are ways to raise both food and morale. I'm worried about the civilian ship issue.

BSG (Apollo)

Hmm, Morale is higher.

I choose option 1

Morale falls to 7! And now the die roll. Everyone passes on interrupts:

Die roll: 3. Civilian ship destroyed! As it happens, there's only one ship not already on the board, so we destroy that. It contains:

0 Population

Well, there you go. You can work out what that means for all the civvies on the board.

Next, the raider activation. There are no raiders on the board, so 2 raiders launch from the basestar. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Baltar's turn. Hoshi's cards are going out. Admiral Hoshi, when you're reday, plesae post your move and action.

Oh, wait, Baltar still has 11 cards and must discard 1. Citizen Baltar, when you're ready, please post your choice of discard.

BSG (Baltar)

I discard CP-2.

I'm thinking those heavies are awfully close to boarding. What do we think Team Humans? Ake a shot at them?
