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.

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.

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

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.

Fleet, this is Galactica actual. Our FTL jump has brought us to this gods forsaken Cylon Refinery.

Edit: I have the Admiral's intentions. He is going to risk 2 vipers to try and score some extra weed Fuel off the Cylons. This roll may be modified by an SP; Admiral Adama has contributed an SP-5. Let's see which way it goes:

Die roll: 7 + 2 = 9. Success! The fleet loses 1 Fuel for the jump, but gains 2 Fuel by raiding the refinery. Fuel increases by a net of 1.

That concludes Helo's turn, but not our business. You have now reached 4 Distance and have entered the Sleeper Phase. I am about to shuffle the remaining Loyalty cards and deal them out. Everyone, stand by to receive the final information on your loyalties. Boomer has been acting particularly suspicious, so she receives two Loyalty cards and a new address in the Brig.

Once I've taken care of the Loyalty cards, President Zarek's turn will begin. Zarek, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Yes, I am risking the 2 vipers and using a strategic planning to help the odds.
