Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

BSG (Baltar)

Well, might as well try anyway. I move to Weapons Control and fire at the basestar.

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

BSG

Such a come-down after Pegasus CIC. He can't even blow himself up! Everyone passes on interrupts.

Die roll: 5. Basestar destroyed! Well, that takes care of Thirty Three. It won't be reshuffled into the deck on your next jump. You're stuck with the deck as is! And the deck as is, realising it has missed the opportunity to blow up Baltar again, goes looking for someone else to detonate. Baltar's crisis card is:

Assassination Plot
President's Choice

President Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

I don't need no stinking plan!

Er. So. How do we feel about ol' Hoshi?

Are... you... proposing that the crew eat the Admiral? I mean, I suppose there's nothing on the card saying that doesn't happen, but I'm taken aback. I admit it.

He's got some good meat on his bones, now that you mention it.

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

BSG (Admiral Hoshi)

This might be obvious, but, I kinda like me. I'd rather not be killed. And hey, it would hurt Morale.

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

BSG (Helo)

He looks a little stringy to me.

I don't currently suspect him of being a cylon but option 1 feels a little bit worse. On the other hand he hasn't used his OPG yet has he?

Admiral Hoshi has in fact used his OPG, or more precisely with Daybreak, spent his miracle token. If he is executed, he has no token to lose.

But if he takes a new character he doesn't get a new miracle token, does he?

He does not.
