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

BSG

Die roll it is. Let's see how you fare:

Die roll: 4 + 2 = 6. Success! You lose no Fuel.

Next, the raiders activate, and move to Sector 3. Finally, the jump prep track advances by 1.

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

We need someone in Communications STAT! We need to start doing the dance of the civilians. Can we hit the FTL? What's the consequences?

Sure, I can hit the FTL. I just need another basestar activation and a bit of luck. The consequences are less hilarious now you've moved to the Hangar Deck, though. Maybe I should hit that instead.

Ha! Silly, trigger happy GM. By hit, I mean ACTIVATE.

No, it won't activate the thing. Just make it go boom.

Bloody Hell. (what? I'm watching Torchwood. They talk like that)

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.

BSG

We're at risk of losing 1 pop on a roll of 6 or less at the moment.

If someone's got an SP, jumping may be the way to go right now. We'd have a 50% chance of losing 1 population but we wouldn't have to risk taking any more fire from that basestar and losing FTL Control again.

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

BSG

I feel like we risk just as much population by staying as we do by jumping early.

Illigitimi non carborundum

BSG

Guys, I can talk the Quorum of 12 into authorizing some assistance that could be very helpful right now--but we will still be in this sector with the billion Cylons--or I could spend a card and get to FTL.

Any preferences/suggestions?

PS: I finally got more BSG to borrow from friends (I'd stopped halfway through Season 3 before)... and the 1st episode I started watching I believe was the inspiration for our last crisis. Pretty cool, in a "Crap, I know a little how they feel," kind of way.
