I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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

BSG

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.

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.

I suddenly have this feeling of dread. We've got damage to FTL control and the Armory, and the only person in our merry crew who draws repair cards is in the brig and has the greatest chance of being a cylon.

Plus, we now definitely have two cylons on board. I think we got really lucky and had no cylons for the first half of the game (or else any cylons were doing a real good job of hiding it.) Which means we can't trust anyone's past behavior to reflect their current intentions.

On the plus side, we haven't lost any population yet.

Yeah, sorry about that. I kept meaning to get to it, but you know how it is.

BT, what was the result of my die roll?

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

now that the skies are clear, I might be able to get some blue cards.
