You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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.

Well, never thought it would happen, but I find myself with some downtime. Nothing needs fixing and I've got no orders to give. You know, I've always wanted to try my hand at building a ship...

(Sorry guys, no XOs so I don't have any obvious actions here, short of drawing a Blue or Purple from the lab. Any suggestions?)

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

Launching a couple of vipers couldn't hurt. (Unless Apollo's a Cylon, I guess.)

If you do hit the lab, unless you feel short of Repairs I'd suggest Purple, scouts and SPs are always useful.

Yeah, I'd do this as well.

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

I was thinking this would be a good time to scout the crisis deck.

I guess I'll go check out some ship schematics in the lab.

Move to Research Lab. Action: Draw 1 Purple.

I think I can do a scout when it is my turn. Should I scout the crisis or the destination deck?

As long as we're not close to jumping I prefer that we scout the crisis deck.

I vote Crisis deck too. Time enough to check destinations.

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

OK, Chief cracks the books and dons the reading glasses. His card draw has been sent. Now time for Crisis Card. Looks to be an easy one.

Heavy Assault!

No worries. No need to debate which cards to toss in.

Oh wait! Basestars are added and attack at once!
Basestar #1: 1 (miss)
Basestar #2: 2 (miss)
Gorrum. Well, details of the card are in an e-mail.
