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

President Tigh has drawn 2 Quorum cards. His Crisis card is:

Riots - B
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Thrace, when you're ready please post your choice.

We'll be taking Option 1 please.

Your attention please. This is Admiral Thrace addressing the fleet. I know we're all scared. We've been through a lot. I know there aren't near as many of us as there were when we left Caprica, and we're desperately searching for the fuel we need to keep going, but food riots will not help.

Regulations state that I am well within my authority to have all the rioters put to death, but we've been through enough already. We don't need any more bloodshed. However, I have posted Colonian Marines throughout the fleet to help keep the peace. Do not force my hand. Please, return to your duties or your quarters. We will get through this and find a new home, but only if we can keep from tearing each other apart.

That is all.

I like to think of the loss of Food and Morale on the one hand, or Fuel and Population on the other, represents the Admiral deciding whether to acquiesce to popular demand and resort to cannibalism. (You need the fuel to fire up the barbecues - you're not savages, dammit!)

The rest of the card's pretty dull. No cylon ships to activate, no jump prep. Apollo, I'm sending your cards. When you're ready, please post your move and action. (My Internet connection is still fritzed, so I don't know when I'll get to post the summary.)

Administrative notes: Apollo chose to draw 2 Yellow cards. His card draw has exhausted the Piloting deck; I've reshuffled the discards.

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

The fleet needs fuel badly. Best to see what's out there.

Action: I play a P1 to launch a scout on the Destination deck.

I have passes on SP interrupts.

Die roll: 5. Success. The top card of the Destination deck is being sent to Apollo. Apollo, please post whether you want to put the card on the top or the bottom.
