Can we distill them down into some kind of fuel source?

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

Oh, you sunnava-

What? That place was too dangerous to think about taking the fleet. I have everyone's best interests at heart.

I wish we could airlock you.

Hey, if you could airlock me, you also would have needed to spend cards escaping the brig.

Actually, that brings up a question, BT. I know if a human gets airlocked, the player can pick a new character. What happens if a Cylon gets airlocked? Do they still pick a new character, or do they automatically go to the Ressurection Ship?

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

Chief Tyrol has drawn 1 Red and 1 Blue, then moved to the Resurrection Ship to draw a new Supr Crisis. His discarded Super Crisis is:

Bomb on Colonial One
Skill Check 15 PRB

That concludes his turn. Mr Zarek I'll send your card draw shortly. When you're ready please post your move and action.

I assume you mean in Pegasus, as there's no airlockimg in the base game. If a human gets airlocked, they pick a new character and the fleet loses 1 Morale. If a Cylon gets airlocked, they go to the Resurrection Ship and suffer two penalties: they lose all their Skill cards, and they don't draw a Super Crisis.

Bomb on Colonial One

Oh fer the luvva...

Okay, Team Human, I recommend we do not throw any cards at this. We'll lose 2 morale and I'll end up in Sickbay but I think that's an acceptable loss. Yes, we lose Colonial One, but hey, at least we deny Apollo the chance to go plead to the press corps too.

And someone please XO me when this is all done.

Don't think I don't appreciate your willingness to be blown up - I do - but that was the Super Crisis he discarded. He's drawn a replacement.
