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

my tummy's growling.

There's nobody else using the computers right now so I'm going to go find a book to check out and then come back & see if I've got my card draw.

... well that was fast. The first book I spotted was a new Audrey Niffenegger. I think I've got a handle on the COs I want to send but if GM needs clarification I'll be back on tomorrow in the afternoon.

Any votes any what should be repaired first? I'm thinking the AQ, since boardings are pretty rare.

I agree the AQ would be a good place to start. The Armory is important too though. At any rate I'd rather get those repairs before Basestars appear and start shooting us.

Besides which, if Mrs. Tigh doesn't get back her lingerie drawer soon, there could be serious trouble.

Mrs. Tigh's lingerie drawer? Come on, we all know who really wears the panties in that family.

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

BSG

I had COs to Declare Emergency but thanks to Boomer we didn't need to send the Quorum on a beer run.

...That's it? I just saved frakking Colonial Day! Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Boomer is wanting to scout the deck, as per her abilities at the end of her turn. I am waiting for her decision to keep or bury the top Crisis Card.

Keep it. Keep it, I say.

Sorry, I was hitting the showers, was there some kind of event that happened? Must have missed it.

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

As you saw, Boomer said keep the card. Always an interesting choice. We shall see how well it's received when it's time comes.

With that, we have a player advancement to The President. Card draw has been e-mailed. And CO's were left. With all the chatter in the thread, the Gods have favored you, for they saw fit to bestow on the President, an XO card! Amazing. I swear, I didn't rig it. The reclusive President said to do the following:
Move: None, stay put.
Action: Play Green 1 XO, and have Chief do what he does best. And by that, it's what ever the Chief wants. As this GM learned (the hard way), just because you give an order, doesn't mean they gotta follow it. Not enough discipline in this fleet, I tell you what.

So Chief, you are currently in Communications. You can activate it twice (and do what? I have no clue). Or, you can MOVE somewhere, and activate it once. Please post what you want to do.

Small point, if he stays where he is he can perform any two actions to which he has access (except playing another XO), not just activating that location. (Likewise, if he moves elsewhere, he doesn't just have to activate it.) I also vote for him moving to the Admiral's Quarters and repairing it.

Okay, then. I will Move to Admiral's Quarters and play a B1 Repair.

Everything is back in working order, though nothing known to man will get the boozey smell out.

I'm sure Mrs. Tigh will personally repay you for your efforts, Chief.

As it is, doesn't your Character ability allow you to take an additional action after you repair something? Or is that only on your turn?
