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

I'm so sorry everyone, I had no idea Apollo was such a racist!

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.

"Nicely done, Admiral."

I'll use my re-roll on the second RSV shot, if necessary.

I have passes on all interrupts. The viper attacks the heavy raider:

Shot 1: 2. Miss.
Shot 2: 4. Miss. Helo applies his reroll:
Shot 2a: 2. Miss. The heavy raider survives.

That concludes Adama's, and hence Helo's, action. Now, Helo made a comment a little while ago:

At some point we're going to get crisis that hits another resource. Hopefully.

I would like to point out, lest you think I'm a one-trick GM, that you've also lost 1 Fuel and 1 Morale to Crisis Cards. I have hit things other than Food in the past.

But not this time. Your Crisis Card is:

Food Shortage - D
President's Choice

President Zarek, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

Again with the Food. Yeesh! As much as it will hurt to discard all those cards, we can't keep losing Food like this. I vote for the discard.
I agree. The good news is, at least we jump away from all this, so gives us (hopefully) a round to catch up on some cards.

Yeah, jumping is good, but I can't help but feel like we wasted a nuke, as effective as it was. (Of course, we could have just as easily got another crisis with firing basestars or boarding cylons and no jump prep.)

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

Hooray for getting the frak out of there.

Just so everyone's aware, DQ let me know that she's going away this weekend. She'll be trying to check in, but there may be a delay of a day or two somewhere along the line.

Leadership is sacrifice, in the end.

Let's go with the discard.

I know my turn's coming up, but if I am unable to check in again today, I'll check in Sunday night. Provided I don't end up stranded in a snowstorm!

Remind me to stay out of sickbay from now on. Ouch. Me and my two cards aren't going to be much help for the next few turns.

President Zarek has chosen option 2. The fleet loses 1 Food. I have discard orders. Zarek discards Y2 and G2; Helo discards G1, P1 and R2.

Next, more raiders launch from the remaining basestar, but to no avail, because the jump prep advances to the final space. The Fleet jumps! Admiral Adama, I'm sending you your destination options. When you're ready, please post your choice.
