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

I have orders from Helo to play 1 card. President Zarek is next.

Has anyone seen Sean around the last couple of days?

I'll try to get his rear in gear, he was at all the festivities over the weekend and was working for me yesterday, so he's around, just clearly not checking in here.

Ok, I don't think we can wait any longer, and it's not a big check anyway. I'm going to pass on behalf of President Zarek. I have COs from Adama and Boomer:

Destiny: 2 cards
Apollo: 2 cards
Helo: 1 card
Zarek: no cards
Adama: 1 card
Boomer: 2 cards

Results:

Green 1
Green 2
Green 3
Purple 1
Purple 1
Purple 1
Purple 3
Blue 1

Tally: 12 - 1 = 11. Pass - no effect.

Next, the heavy raiders activate. You now have two heavy raiders in Sector 5; one more activation will see them board Galactica.

Finally, the jump prep track advances by 1. This concludes Boomer's turn. Captain Apollo has opted to draw 2 Green as part of his card draw. Apollo, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: the last skill check exhausted the Destiny Deck. I've created a new one. Creating a new Destiny Deck exhausted the Piloting deck; I've reshuffled the discards.

Edit: Boomer is as usual exercising her Recon special ability, so I have sent her the top card of the Crisis Deck.

I'm going to bury that sucker and suggest we think about jumping now at the risk of losing some population. I can help with the die roll.

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

I'm hesitant to kill folks. But we are doing ok population wise. I was thinking xo adama to nuke or helo to get out of sickbay and head to weapons. What thinks the group?
