Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Correction to the e-mail. As outlined on p22 of the rules, if no raiders are on the board, and an activation happens of raiders, then each Basestar launches 2 of those puppies.

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

I could be sent to Sickbay? Just how hard was Helo spanking me?

I went to the Goodwill store, seeing if they had any inexpensive bar stools for my new apartment. And what did I see on the shelf? An Atari Joystick! The Jacks Pacific battery operated, audio/video cable 10 games in a joystick thingy! $2! OK, why not. I get it home, and open the battery compartment to discover it's got 4 icky corroded batteries in it. Ugg. I safely extract and dispose of the batteries, "borrow" some contact cleaner from work. Viola! I have 8-bit Atari again! Woot! Reminds me of my childhood. Only now my hands smell like contact cleaner.
ETA:
The games are:
Adventure
Asteroids
Breakout
Centipede
Circus Atari
Gravitar
Missile Command
Pong
Volley Ball
Yar's Revenge
And yes, I suck at 8 bit games too. Yar's Revenge seems to be my best game so far.

Ok, if Helo's got his hankering for a spankering out of his system, anyone have a preference on this one? I think we're in pretty good shape either way.
Fuel's possibly our best resource right now. 6 Fuel to cover 4 Distance is pretty comfortable. We've got all our raptors too, so it won't hurt much to lose one here.
For the other choice, Morale's still pretty good at 8. Sending me to Sickbay doesn't matter too much if I can get an XO to get out before my next turn.
I'd vote for the Fuel loss, but I'm pretty comfortable with either choice.

With 2 basestars looming over us, there's a risk of losing any resources before we manage to jump away.
Most distance cards cost fuel. If we lose ANY fuel from an attack at this point, we risk not being able to go the distance we need to. Sure, right now we're fine, but there's a lot of ways to lose it.
We've been lucky with raptors, but I don't like saccing them either. We need to be able to scout.
I don't want to lose morale either, and I don't want to send Boomer to sickbay right after she got out of the Brig. (OTOH, the sickbay is a much less worse proposition than the brig.)
But morale is higher and is less desperately needed than fuel.
I'm inclined to morale loss and sickbay, but I will hear out my advisors before making the final decision.

I found the coolest thing on Xbox Live. It's called Destination: Arcade. It's a free download (you can search for it under games) and it basically helps you find other games you might like. You can also look through all the games xbox live offers and set filters for what you're looking for - like local multiplayer, community rating, etc.
