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

The check is to brig Admiral Apollo. I'm calling for interrupts - Investigative Committee and Scientific Research are the options. Everyone, pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check.

Finally, President Tigh, you may reduce the check's difficulty by 3. Do you wish to do so?

Good luck with that, Starbuck. We are dealing with a pretty significant card disadvantage.

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.

BSG

Yeah. Saw that one coming. And since the Chief just unloaded with everything last turn, I have a feeling this is going to be a tough check to counter.

ETA: Not that the enthusiasm isn't appreciated, and we did manage to brig the man responsible for The Massacre at Dead Rock, but still...

Wait, Starbuck, you're actually upset that Tigh landed in the Brig? Are you feeling okay? You sure you don't want to re-consider this? With so many of the crew in the Brig, we're going to have a tough time with any Crisis we may encounter. I'm not sure expending resources on another tribunal is really in everyone's best interests.

ETA: Plus, are you sure you want to become Admiral? I mean, you used to mock all those desk jockeys. And think of all the paperwork you're going to have to do. You hate paperwork! Your flight reports are a testament to that.

I so want to shoot you in the face right now, Apollo. More than usual. I want to shoot him in the face, BT. I mean, I have this gun here, and his face is right over there.

Who do you think you are, Dick Cheney? Until the President assigns a VP, there'll be no face-shootings on this ship.
