It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

My preference is Sean repair raiders, I XO Helo, he gets out of brig, heads straight to the hanger deck and then launches.

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

Starbuck's already made a call on her move and action, but we're still waiting on interrupts; if she wants to change her mind before then that's ok. If we do get all passes through first, however, I will have to proceed with her orders as given.

o_a, if you can find someone who's willing to fill in for you temporarily until your work situation calms down, I'm fine with that. (I'm also fine with you continuing to play, if everyone else is too.)

I have passes on all interrupts. Time for the die roll.

Die roll: 1. Miss.

Time for a crisis, and it is:

The Olympic Carrier
Skill Check (11 YGR)

I'm calling for Investigative Committee and Scientific Research interrupts. Twelve hours to pass or play.

That was quick. I have passes on all interrupts. The check begins with President Tigh, and Starbuck will finish it up. As always, you can send me COs before your turn.

Destiny: 2 cards
Tigh:
Apollo:
Chief:
Zarek:
Helo:
Starbuck:

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Yikes! Thankfully it's not DnD rules for that 1. Talk about Epic!Fail!

This card sucks! Our lowest resource gets a hit no matter what. I'm tempted to say save the cards, but we can use the jump track advancement.

1. Your lowest resource is still Fuel at 2 (I'm sure that's a great comfort).

b) If you pass the check you lose nothing.

If you have COs, feel free to send 'em in. You're still in the brig of course, so you're limited to one card.

Clearly a new Cylon virus had gotten into the computers because it's starting to spout gibberish.
