Mr. Zarek is napping comfortably, so he won't be interrupting anything.

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.

We caught a break there. Surprisingly little population in those three ships. Though I suspect that means the remaining ships would be very painful to lose.

Hi, Helo. Fancy meeting you here.

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

I'm afraid the Gods do not deem me able to interrupt. Maybe because I'm sick as hell, what with the radiation poisoning, the getting shot out of a viper and all. C'mon doc, patch me up quick, I got some toaster to fry.

Wow. A truly disturbing end to Helo and Sharon's relationship.

I see Bioware is about to release a new RPG. As a huge fan of Baldur's Gate II, I'm very tempted to buy it. OTOH I don't know if I'll actually have time to play it. I have a Best Buy gift certificate that I haven't used for five months because I didn't have anything I wanted to buy. Maybe I should just use it, at worst I have a game sitting on my shelf instead of a Best Buy gift certificate.

Now that I look at it, I see that was an utterly pointless post.

Pradmiral Tigh plays an SP-4 on the basestar attack. With the structural damage, this adds 4 to the die roll, making it a guaranteed hit. But I like rolling dice, so let's see what we get.

Die roll: 8 + 4 = 12. Yep, that hits. Damage token: Disabled Weapons. This basestar may no longer fire at Galactica.

Chief, what would you like to do for your second action?

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

So the basestar can't fire on us but it can still launch ships at us? I fire on the basestar.
