Whoa! Dad - are you sure about this? It seems pretty clear that Boomer's not on the up-and-up. I know that you have some issues with me, but really - all this shouting and stuff is just going to tire you out, and whatever you need done all you need to do is let me in on your secret plan, and I'll help you execute it.

an XO doesn't get me out?

IObsgN, I'm watching Caprica right now!!!!!!! And they advertised a complete box set of all seasons "coming soon".

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

an XO doesn't get me out?

No, an XO gives you a move and an action, or two actions. You're still limited to the moves and/or actions your current circumstances allow. (It'd make the Brig a little pointless, if you could get out so easily.)

So. What's your action? Activate the Brig to try to get out, or do you have something else in mind?

um ya. It's not like I can do much else. Let's try this again, shall we?

Ok, Boomer's trying it on again. It's Free Boomer II - Electric Brigaloo. I'm calling for interrupts (Investigative Committee or Scientific Research). Everyone, please advise whether you wish to pass or play one. We'll pause for 12 hours, or until I wake up. In the meantime, if you know what you want to play, send me a CO. (Remember, everyone in the Brig may only play at most one card.)

Oh, and note: although it's Boomer's action, it's still Adama's turn, which means that Roslin starts this check and Adama concludes it.

I now have interrupt orders and COs from everyone except Dr Baltar. Things move a lot faster when you get a dress rehearsal. Once Dr Baltar checks in, we'll see if Boomer has escaped the Brig, and (either way) she can post her second action.

move out and draw fire

BSG

Given her propensity to open fire with her sidearm on Galactica, can Boomer get a free action to shoot the PA speaker nearest the brig?

all you need to do is let me in on your secret plan

SEEKRIT PLAN: Save civilian ships. Get fleet to Earth. Make sweet sweet love to the kamala junkie.

Wait, did I say that out loud?

TMI, Dad! I think Doc Cottle calls that a "damned overshare - damnit!" and I agree.

If Chief can stop yelling at his shadow for a few minutes, I'm going to have him steam-purge my brain now.

And you wonder why I'm encouraging you to take a short vacation - in the brig? NEXT to the kamala junkie.
