Well, hello there Pradmiral. I can't imagine you've left your command - oh, that's right, you have two now.

How can I help you? Because I can help you, quite a lot.

I can assist this check a great deal.

Pradmiral, I'm curious why you burned a card to move to Colonial One, and then to Admin, if not to use the skill check in the room to have a balance of power? Seems a bit wasteful. You could have XO'd your son from Weapons, or other location on Galactica. Rather curious.

As for the current check, I can't help much.

Hey, let's not start claiming family ties that don't exist. The Pradmiral is more like a crazy uncle to me.

Lol. Oops. Wrong Admiral. Must be feeling the effects of the radiation. How about that rescue?

I, too, am interested in knowing why he's here - unless it's to keep me from calling for an election. Wasteful, wasteful, wasteful.

I already had that chance - and I prioritized destroying a Cylon base-star over my political ambitions.

Eventually, someone will notice he's not acting on humanity's behalf and remove him from both positions of power. I don't think I'll be very effective in that regard while he has his gun's muzzle touching my right temple.

In the meantime, I will use all my influence to keep us from dying. Would be nice if the head of both the civilian government, and the military power-structure, did the same.

Tigh receives a call that they just found Helo in a raptor running on reserve fuel. Apparently he survived Caprica. Unfortunately, he's either delirious or his mind is gone because he thinks Apollo is Tigh's son. Tigh only has one thing to say: "Keep him under observation. I have an investigation to run and I have to keep a guard on the shredding room so that Zarek can't use it."

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

Good idea, she'll never find you now.

Except for that funky glowing spine, of course.

In MyBrute news - there's a tendency to list the pets - dog, wolf, bear - as good, better, best. I actually think that given the right circumstances the wolf is far better than the bear. Check this out from today's matches - [link]
Dude, you are SOOoo lucky that bear didn't attack more. When they are both in full attack, they do about the same damage, only the wolf gets several small attacks, and the bear one big one. The wolf is pretty good at dodging, the bear, nsm. The bear has a TON of hit points, about 2-3x the wolf. That is the big advantage.

Yeah, I know that, but the bear is slow and I assume the speed of your pet's attacks are dependent on the agility of your opponent. Also, the bear did try to attack more but the Brute countered him.
