I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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

BSG

I'll call you "Two-Sheds Jackson", if that's ok with you.

Anyway, Two-Sheds has chosen the Crisis Card:

Food Shortage - A
President's Choice

And the President's Choice is to lose 2 Food. That was simple.

Cylon Activation: Raiders. The raiders in Sector 6 are going to fire upon the RSVs in the Sector. (The raiders in Sector 1 are going to move to Sector 6.) Boomer, you're the only person left drawing Red cards. You might like to give some thought to your Evasive Maneouvres interrupt policy.

Raider 1: 2. Miss.
Raider 2: 4. Miss. Team Human catches a break. Two breaks, in fact:

Jump Prep: Yes.

That concludes Pradmiral Two-Sheds' turn. Dr Baltar, I'm sending you your cards. When you're ready, please post your action.

Our raiders suck. Are we sure Starbuck isn't one of Us? If she were, we could bullet-in-the-brainpan her and get some REAL talent flying against the meatbags.

:: waves at the guys ::

Hi Dr. Hi Sir.

(thinks: well, at least I don't have to watch my commanding officer humping the skin job. Although there is still the creepy doc humping the air over there. NO clue what that is all about)

I tried Sir's. So, we need to focus on getting ONE of us out of here, and that crazy bitch back in!

Minor administrative note: all players have now either used their character's once per game ability, or surrendered it without use (in Apollo's case).

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

BSG

Should I try to get out of the brig myself, or do we need to get Boomer out so she can pilot?


Volans - Aug 10, 2009 5:38:58 am PDT #3314 of 26134
move out and draw fire

BSG

Catching up with administratrivia: I played a Green 1 to XO Boomer, and then I discarded three Purple 1 cards.

We need to brig the Pradmiral. I can't brig anyone, so me getting out of the brig is pointless. Either Baltar or Boomer can, and either of you guys can use the locations on Galactica. Using Galactica's weapons, comms, and command will be more efficient than putting Boomer in a viper, and we need someone ready to FTL us when we spool up.

But we really do need the Pradmiral brigged before then, so she doesn't choose our destination.

OK, I'm activating the brig to get myself out of here.

I guess we can't brig the Toaster-Bitch-Queen-From-Hell from within the brig, huh?

Huh? Why can't you brig anyone?
