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

Persistent death card? WTFrak? Hey, that shot Boomer took on the original baseship, are it's weapons non operational? Can it still launch raiders?

It's still fully operational, just one shot away from being blown up.

Our wings are not tired

I can help a little with the skill check, I'm not sure how much I can help with getting someone out of the brig.

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

wait! My Wand of Fire Burst allows me to add an extra 3d6 when I score a critical hit!

What, we're not playing BSGnD? OK I'll put my wand away.

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

Boomer has a "wand". I guess that's what they call them in that part of the 'verse.

I can help a little with the check if we go that route.

If I wasn't sure we could pass the check I would go with option 2.

If we Brig Adama, he can't be admiral.

That's true, if Helo chose to brig Adama the title would pass to... Helo. Hmmm.

So, do we have a decision? Skill check or card loss?

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.

Sorry, folks. Long day at work followed by very messy toddler at dinner.

BSG

This may be the dumb thing to do, but since people don't seem to be sure about us passing this check and I don't want to brig someone if we don't have to, I'll choose the discard. I discard G1, G1, P1, P1, R1. (At least I had a bunch of low-value cards.)

Helo discards a bunch of drek. Next, raiders activate, and move from Sector 2 to Sector 3. Finally, there's a jump prep icon, so the jump track advances one space (to 1).

That concludes Helo's turn. President Zarek, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.
