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

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

BSG

I'm stil playing. I just can't think of anything clever to say about being sent to the brig. I shake my tiny insane fists at the Adamas.

With this hotbed of toasters, do we want to think about jumping early? Is that something I can do? I'm fully prepared to go out and fight, but, not sure what WE are wanting to do about all them toasters around us. It will be a hit to population. I'm putting it out there, what do we think?

I feel disenfranchized but I think I'm in favor of risking some civilians to get the frak out of here.

To answer the rules question, yes, this is something you can do. It involves moving to FTL Control and activating that location.

If you jump early, it's a die roll to determine whether you lose population. A Strategic Planning interrupt may be played to improve the odds, if anyone wishes to do so.

BSG

Boy, if I had one of those, I'd be happy to play it, what with not being a cylon and all, but I spent all my cards trying to help us pass every check so far.

CAG & Adm? Do we have consensus?

And while it's not immediately pertinent, I would just like to point out AGAIN that the checks we failed were primarily failed because of red and blue cards. You know... two colors that I never draw.

move out and draw fire

BSG

Well, it's maybe not what I would do, but I certainly see your reasoning.

Boomer moves to FTL Control. Boomer also plays P4 Strategic Planning interrupt. Let's jump the frak outta here!
