Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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

The most expensive ships are:

2 Population
1 Population, 1 Fuel
1 Population, 1 Morale

Helo, I was concerned about needing cards for a future crisis too. We're quite close to home.

I am going to go for the die roll, especially since the good Mr. Agathon usually has sage advice.

Passes on all interrupts. Let's see whether you lose another ship.

Die roll: 5. Looks like they were bluffing after all.

Finally, the jump prep track advances by 1. That concludes Zarek's turn. Admiral Adama, I'm sending you your card draw. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

I play a P1 to scout the top card of the crisis deck.

If I do this, I can't activate my location and draw a card, is that correct?

That's correct. The scouting mission may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

The Admiral has played an SP-3 to guarantee the success of his mission. Admiral, I'm sending you the top card of the Crisis Deck. When you're ready, please post whether to put it on the top or bottom of the deck.

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

I can help with the check.
