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 something I can do?

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.

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!

Well, Boomer's just the little pilot that could today, isn't she? Terminology trivia: we refer to this as follows - "Boomer jumps the fleet".

Ok, let's haul out the Black Die of Destruction, and see if Boomer's No Child Left Behind policy is a success.

Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail. The Fleet loses 3 Population.

Ah well. Can't make an omelette without losing a third of your population and all that. Time for the Admiral to choose your destination. Admiral Adama, I'm sending you the travel brochures for two lovely holiday spots. When you're ready, please post your choice of destination.

Frak. Here is hoping the Admiral draws a nice long jump. I fear we would have faired worse battling all those toasters.

Will anyone help me post pictures in the passageway?

Oh yeah. I'll be picking up a copy myself.
