Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

So cute to see you pathetic humans, manning that desperate "Truce" Space Station for all these years. Going through the motions of looking prepared. What you don't know is, when you least suspect it, a beautiful women in red will visit you, and frak your world. Universe!

(and by that I mean a chubby dude will get all set up as soon as this recital is done tomorrow. Damn, y'all picked charactors and cards fast!)

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

If there isn't an Apollo, that's who I will take, and if someone can let me know his card draw options I'll give my orders on those as well.

Hey, check it out Lee, they made you Captain! That's awesome! Like, in the CAG briefings, you can tell us, "Be careful out there", and we'll be all, "Aye aye, Cap'n!" Like we were a pirate ship or something. It'll be such a hoot, just like you were in charge!

Ooh! We COULD be a pirate ship! What d'you think, Lee? A ragtag crew, sailing the inky blackness of space, escaping all the stuffy rules of our old homes. Plundering planets and moons as we go. Admiral Tigh says he knows where Earth is, do you think he has it on a star map? With "X MARKS THE SPOT" written on the top? That would be AWESOME!! I think for his next birthday I'll make him a map like that. He looks like a pirate, don't you think? I think he looks like a pirate. And he loves rum, you know pirates love rum. He'd look even better if -- Oh! I know! Do you think we could convince him to get, like, a pegleg or an eyepatch?

Oh, by the way, Apollo also has a choice of starting position - you can be in Sector 5 or Sector 6. (I suggest Sector 5. It's closer to the civvies, and the raiders will go clockwise away from Sector 6, on the starting setup.)

"I heard that, Boomer!" Looks very grim before a corner of his mouth twitches in humor. "Better be careful. Pilots who blow their landings will be forced to walk the plank."

Piece of trivia: aside from the presence of Boomer instead of Starbuck, the crew for Buffistica 4 is almost exactly the same as in Buffistica 2.

Now, as I recall, Zarek and Chief Tyrol were the Cylons that game...

Thanks for the heads up Boomer. You know, despite your interest in the Chief, I've always found you strangely attractive...

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

But I don't wanna be a cylon!

How strange are we talking? Do you mean, like, furries or something? 'Cause sure, you get curious once in a while, but I think it'd just be too weird, y'know? Plus, you're still stuck on Caprica, and long-distance relationships just never work out.

But I don't wanna be a cylon!

This is no time for blubbing, Mr President! Help me restrain the fake admiral! ...Fauxdmiral? Pladmiral! He's a slippery one, whichever it is. ...Ow! Ow! Dammit, marines, you're grabbing the wrong person! Look at him, he's got to be a Cylon! He never blinks! ...Um, except for just then. Aaand again. And he's... um, not smiling anymore. Ok, maybe I was wrong. No hard feelings, right sir? Could happen to anyone. Hum.

I think I'll be in the Armoury if anyone needs me.
