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

I'd love to hear from all in the brig before I make my decision. But I'm wanting to keep the game going.

Um, correction. bt reminded me which cards this check needs. I was thinking it was a spring from the brig check. Sorry about that. With that, I revise and say, I can't help on this check, which leads me to think the roll is the best option.

bt, Please go with Option 2. Roll the bone, sir. Here's hoping we are on the plus side of life!

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

BSG

Ok. We will pause to see if anyone wants to play a Strategic Planning. (I have COs from two players - Baltar passes, and Apollo 13 passes of course because he's a frakkin' toaster. Roslin also passes as she's never drawn any Purple cards.)

That leaves Boomer and Adama. Please post whether you play a Strategic Planning or pass.

Ok, I have all orders: no interrupts. The gods smiled on your destruction of the Little Centurion that Couldn't; let's see how they feel about your campaign of rumour and innuendo, otherwise known as a series of posters with Apollo's mugshots asking "Have You Seen This Man? ...Ugly, Isn't He?"

Die roll: 1. You lose 1 Morale and 1 Population, as rioting spreads through the Fleet and new posters appear over the Apollo shots proclaiming "A Cylon Isn't Just For Christmas, It's For Life."

On the bright side, with no Cylon ships haranguing the fleet, the Cylon activation has no effect, and the Jump Prep track advances by 1. This concludes Boomer's turn (well, almost; there's some Recon to take care of); Staff Sgt Adama, I'm sending you your cards. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Those posters please Us. We are for life - we're AL for life.

So are those others in the brig. And out of the brig.

All of us. Yay!

Anyone else thinking Apollo 13's brain injury left him with aphasia?

Anyway, Boomer has completed her Recon, and opted to leave the Crisis Card on top.

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

BSG

How far can we get on the fuel we have?

As long as you don't lose any fuel to other mishaps, you can reach Kobol with the Fuel you have left. You need to draw one more Destination card. There's only one card in the deck that costs 3 Fuel, and if it were one of the choices, the Admiral could simply choose the other one. (Assuming they're not a Cylon.) Every destination adds at least 1 distance, so that will get you to at least 8 distance. After you reach at least 8 distance, you have one more jump to make, but you don't need to draw a destination card for that (and therefore don't need to spend Fuel). The last jump is always to Kobol.

move out and draw fire

BSG

OK, well...while it's comfortable here in the brig, and a nice change from all the responsibility, and while I don't really expect the other cylon or the two humans he's swayed to help me out, I think I'm going to try to get out of here.

That way I can draw a crisis card, and hopefully we can get some jump icons and get to Kobol.

Action: Initiate de-brigging of me.
