move out and draw fire

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?

Then my work here is done.

Oh yeah. Except for that whole running the game thing. Carry on.

"This is the Admiral. We have completed our jump, accompanied by most of the fleet. Funeral services for those we've lost will have to be delayed for a bit.

"The good news is that we jumped 3 for only 1 fuel.

"The bad news is that we jumped right into a passel of cylons. It's a smaller party than the one we just left. We will get through this!"

The Admiral hsa selected Cylon Ambush. You have now travelled a distance of 5 towards Kobol, which means we have entered the Sleeper phase. I am shuffling and dealing out the remaining Loyalty cards.

Boomer gets singled out for special attention. First, she gets two Loyalty cards in the Sleeper phase. Second, looks like her "No Child Left Behind" policy was more of a "you ships keep them distracted while we make our escape policy. Questions have been raised. Boomer has been moved to the Brig.

This means that no Crisis card is drawn at the end of Boomer's Turn. You may still use your Recon ability; I'm sending you the Crisis card. Please post whether you wish for it to go on the top or the bottom of the deck.

Admiral Adama, it is now your turn. I'm sending you your card draw; when you are ready, please post your move and action.

FRAK! What's the details? What did we jump into?

Ha! I'm trying to figure out who to play with here in Dallas. The BSG!Geeks don't seem to be Game!Geeks. Strange, huh?
