move out and draw fire

BSG

Just seemed like the fastest way to get someone to Sickbay.

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

But bullet wounds take longer to heal, and the brig time SUCKS. Nope, you are *NOT* shot. Just a little under the weather. Doc will blow smoke in your face, and tell you to grow some 'nads, and throw you back into the battle.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

and throw you back into the battle

I saw that as "...bottle" the first time, and thought "WOW! Boomer's BITTER!"

Only that the Toaster-Queen fooled me. Still kicking myself about that one.

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

BSG

Dude! I say the (former) boss man is looking a little sea sick, and I'm accused of shooting someone! WTFrak?

You said it was a cure for sea sickness!

Anyway, the outcome is: Adama goes to Sickbay. The Fleet, which doesn't know what to believe anymore, loses 1 Morale. Let's finish up the card.

Cylon: Raiders. The loneliest little raider moves to Sector 2.

Jump Prep: Yes. You may now take an action to jump early, at risk of losing Population (and therefore the game).

That concludes Adama's turn. Roslinbot is up next.

BSG

Roslinbot has opted to draw 1 Purple and 1 Red. Her action is to remain on Caprica, draw 2 Crisis Cards and choose 1 to play. Ms Roslinbot, when you're ready please post your choice of Crisis Card.

BSG

Roslinbot has made her choice. She discards Colonial Day - there's no time for festivities, because the Fleet is desperately short of water. You've found a source of ice, but you don't have enough volunteers to extract it. There is only one solution:

Forced Water Mining
Current player's choice

The current player is... Roslinbot. She has chosen option 1:
Skill Check (17 YGPB)

If this check fails, the Cylons win the game. As Blue is already positive, the only possible interrupt is an Investigative Committee. Dr Baltar, please post whether or not you play an IC.

Everyone can send me COs for this check. All colours except Red count positive.

Gods help us, that's a lot. Roslin, I'm surprised you went with that option, I thought the skin jobs wanted peace. This could destroy us. Please, change your mind and go with the other option. Let's have peace talks.
