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

um. I though zarek saved us from loosing a morale?

He did; you lost 1 Morale in the first turn, when Tigh declared Martial Law. (My fault; I neglected to post an end-of-turn summary after his turn.)

A reminder, at the Sleeper Phase in this game, one player will be a Sympathiser. If you protect all resources well enough to keep them all above the halfway mark, the Sympathiser will join the Cylons.

I have all sorts of witty rejoinders to make to that Sympathizer reminder, but I can't make them in this over-heated, paranoiac environment. No matter what I say - or how I say it - it'll be construed as SOMETHING.

(and obviously it's almost impossible to stay silent)

I love this game. :)

Huh. I hadn't realized the sympathiser card was guaranteed to come up. I didn't read the 'Creating the Loyalty Deck' thoroughly.

Well, I guess we'll see what happens. At this rate we'll be down to 5 morale before we get to jump!

That's enough time for interrupts. Passes all round. Let's see if the Chief's a better shot than the Pradmiral.

Die roll: 2. Miss. I hereby christen this basestar the SS Teflon.

Crisis time! Zarek's efforts with the Cylon Screenings were only temporary, it seems; the Tribunal has opened Terrorist Investigations (Skill Check 12 YG). Once more we shall pause for interrupts: an Investigative Committee and/or Scientific Research may be played.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I can help a little with the check.

***Tigh***

Son of a bitch! Tyrol, get those guns calibrated. Galactica doesn't miss this much, something's up.

Ah, frak, seems the Tribunal thinks so too. Terrorist investigations, my ass. They just need to take a look at their ex-frakkin'-president!

I have no interrupts. I believe that's all we're supposed to be revealing currently. I'll CO BT anyway.

Also, a quick reminder that the Basestar launched a Heavy Raider. That ship won't travel clockwise, it's going to head for one of the viper launch tubes in sectors 5 & 6 and have centurions board Galactica.

As to whether that is a more serious threat than the regular raiders, I'm not sure. I know if Centurions board we can fight them, but that's manpower that should be firing on the Basestar...

Decisions, decisions.

And a gentle reminder - I can't do anything in a location with other people. It's Zarek's weakness. If you want me to help either shoot the basestar, or take care of a boarding party, Zarek has to be alone there.

It's very lonely in space. You could pop out there for a bit. Take a long stroll. Let me show you this airlock...

No, not Tigh's voice. He thinks he doesn't have to worry about Zarek at the moment. I think he's wrong.
