This is an internal military affair and I'll be frakked if you and your Quorum sycophants will have any say in the matter.

Sir, why don't you call it a night. We got the bridge under control. Nothing on the Draidis. We can't do much until Sean makes a decision. You want I should bring you some water?

That's so sweet.

The Quorum isn't fond of you either, "Admiral" - but then, they don't have to be, and they don't have to listen to you, either, being the duly-elected civilian government.

I'm sure this little chat will be endlessly repeated while you keep trying to convince yourself you actually ARE fit for command. Doesn't bother me; I'll just stay over here in Colonial One.

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

That's very thoughtful of you, but since you start the game on Caprica, he might be waiting a while.

:: pulls aside the President ::

Sir, please. Don't think because there is a calm right now, that all is ok. He is easily antagonized, but he is our military leader. We need you two working together.

Think he'll be sober by then?

BSG Yup, Helo starts on Caprica which means Zarek is having a long conversation with his imaginary Helo. Or he has some kind of direct line to Caprica, and since Galactica can't even manage that, it would have to be using Cylon technology.

Either way, things don't look good.

While it was very tempting to play Laura Roslyn again, I shall play Starbuck. Because I didn't spend enough time last game in the brig.

Ooh, Admiral Tigh and President Zarek. This could be fun.

Please note: should Tigh ever decide to attempt to brig Starbuck, the check difficulty will be a grand total of 1. But what are the odds of that happening? ...

On which note, since everyone's chosen their characters, I might send out the loyalty cards. Remember too, could everyone except Tigh send me their choice of three starting cards from their normal skill set.
