This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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

Ok, that means I need to move to a different room. So for my move, I move there, and action is launch 2 RSV's out of aft bay. Do I get another action after that? If so move them one sector ccw to offer protection to civvies A.

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

Ok, you move to Command and launch two RSVs into Sector 5. Because you had to move to do it, you don't get another action this turn. In a subsequent turn, you can activate Command again (if you get another XO you can do it twice) for two more RSV activations per action.

Note: you may apply the activations to different RSVs, or order the same RSV twice. An order may be launch, move one sector, or attack a Cylon ship in the same sector.

Baltar is in the Brig, so he doesn't draw a Crisis Card. This concludes Baltar's turn; it is now Apollo's turn. Apollo, you have a choice on your card draw. Please advise what you would like; then, when you are ready, please post your move and action.

2 Leadership, please.

Then throw that imposter Admiral back into the brig where she...I mean it ...belongs!

Captain Apollo, I've sent you your cards. Note that you are currently located in Administration on Colonial One (having tried to remove the Presidency from Ms Roslin last turn). To move back to Galactica will cost one skill card. Please post your choice of discard.

Meanwhile, activating the Admiral's Quarters is a skill check, so I will call for interrupts (Investigative Committee or Scientific Research). As always, could everyone please post whether they pass or play an interrupt.

I discard 1R and move Galactica, to the Admiral's Quarters, and start filling out "Return Boomer to the Brig" paperwork.

Deuce!?! WTfrak!?! I'm trying to save the fleet! Why don't you do something to help the civillians?!? THERE ARE TOASTERS OUT THERE!!!!!!

Another reminder while we're sorting out interrupts, send me COs for the attempt to rebrig Boomer if you know what you'll play. Boomer will be playing first into this check, Apollo plays last. Everyone in the Brig may play at most one card; Boomer and Apollo may play as many as they like.

move out and draw fire

BSG

I play no interrupts. I intend to play the card I can to keep Boomer out of the brig, having used my entire last turn to get her out.

As such, I've sent COs.
