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

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.

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.

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.

Calling for interrupts. Everyone except Mr "We all have steel plates in our heads", please post whether or not you play an Investigative Committee or Scientific Research.

Shouldn't tempt the toaster. We can interrupt in more ways than just these piddly little CARDS.

See? I just did. Nyah.

Nada.

PS: I swear on the Pythian Prophecies I am not a cylon. Look, I wear glasses. What cylon would be designed with a disability, even if it's only myopia?

Yes, but that was taken from him rather than being a genetic issue.
