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

The Admiral contributes an SP-3 on Helo's second shot. (While I think of it, Adama's XO was an XO-1.)

Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. Hit! (Just.) Result: Critical Hit! The basestar in Sector 1 is destroyed.

You destroyed my basestar. Meanies. Hey, have you ever noticed how, whenever you guys blow up a basestar, it seems another one arrives almost immediately? I'm sure it's just a coincidence. In unrelated news, Adama's Crisis is:

Boarding Parties
Cylon Attack

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

Oh wait, Zarek is the president. You can reduce the brig check difficulty, DQ. I'm up next & if you guys let me out of here I've got some repair cards and some piloting cards. I haven't had the chance to blow one enemy out of the sky yet this game. What do y'all say, can I come out and play?

Nice shooting Helo!

Boomer, you know piloting a ship against a Basestar will be risky at best. You gotta score a perfect shot.

Pete (or anybody w/an Xbox 360)...what wireless adapter do you have?
Before I got the U-verse, I had the Xbox connected to a Apple Airport Express. It gave N speed for the xbox, and offered an audio port for iTunes to play through. But now I have U-verse, so the router is right at the TV, so, hard wired now. But the Microsoft lil USB thing was about the same price, and only works with the Xbox. The Airport Extreme is useful in many other ways.

Xbox:

I just picked up Bioshock, in a combo pack with Oblivion. So far, creepy and fun. I'm not connected yet (I have to hard wire the xbox into the cable modem to go online, which kills wireless Internet in the house). But once I do put a more permanent connection in place, my xbox gamer tag is DarknessSMK.

BSG

This Cylon attack card effectively adds five heavy raiders to the board. There are, however, only four heavy raiders in the game. Adama, as current player, has the choice of which heavy to leave off; he has left off a heavy raider from Sector 3.

That concludes Adama's turn. Boomer, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

I would like to go repair the hangar deck but I can't get out of this cell alone. Can I get a little help please?

Our wings are not tired

Anyone have any thoughts on whether we think Boomer is a toaster?

Sector 6: Civilians C
Didn't we have a RSV in that sector? Or did he get moved to Sector 4? Confused. Work has been frelling with my head

Anyone have any thoughts on whether we think Boomer is a toaster?
To be honest, I had suspicions BEFORE the sleeper phase. We could use the repairs. But if she is a Cylon, now is NOT the time to let her loose.

BSG

Our hangar has been broken for a while so we've got no vipers in the air and no way to get them in the air that I know of.

As for Boomer, what raised your suspicions before the sleeper phase? I couldn't target anyone as a toaster at that point.
