I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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

Everybody draws purple so at this point the cylon could still be anybody.

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.

Yikes. I guess I shouldn't have bothered tossing one of my two remaining cards into that check.

As for springing Boomer, on one hand she's got the biggest chance of being a Cylon and spending cards to get her out on the off chance she's not seems really risky, barring more information.

On the other hand, anyone else trying to repair the ship is going to take twice as long, as they're going to have to spend turns to draw blue cards in addition to spending turns to repair the locations.

Though in addition to the Science Lab, Zarek or Apollo could spend a card on Consolodate Power and draw 2 blue. But that still takes a turn.

So wait, what are our options for getting blue cards? Is this something I can do on my turn? Or is it something I can XO someone on?

Don't bother XOing me yet, let's see what cards I get on my next turn. Right now if I initiated a Debrigging, I couldn't help at all.

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

So wait, what are our options for getting blue cards? Is this something I can do on my turn? Or is it something I can XO someone on?

Basically you have these options:

1. Boomer draws Blue as part of her skill set.

2. Any player may move to the Research Lab and spend an action to draw one Blue card.

3. Players who draw Politics can spend an action to play a Consolidate Power to draw 2 Blue cards (or 1 Blue and 1 card of another colour). Players who don't draw Politics can get 2 Politics by moving to the Press Room and spending an action.

4. I think there's a Quorum card or two that give the President the opion of drawing a card of any colour he wants.

5. Adama's OPG lets him grab whatever cards were played into a check (though that's no longer an option).

I think that's about it. There are options there that you can do, and options that you can XO others to do. One last note: the Research Lab can never be damaged by Cylon attack; thus, there's always at least one avenue open to repair damage to Galactica.

So it looks like I have the option of moving to the Research Lab and drawing a blue card. That would complete my turn, correct? Then it would take an XO from someone else for me to actually do some repairs.

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

I believe so.

FWIW, I was hoping to consolidate powers to get some blue cards. Whether XO'd or not.

I'm moving to the Research Lab and drawing a blue card.

Good point. I've edited the summary to put you in the correct location.
