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

"Doctor, Valerii's chart says that she was caught in an inferno! Wouldn't we have heard if there'd been a fire on Galactica?"

"It's... not that sort of inferno, nurse. Have a look at the notes."

"'Severe injuries suffered to the posterior region during a -- Lesbian Spank Inferno'? What the hell? And why did you just put 'Inferno' on the chart?"

"Well, can you imagine if word were to get out that this sort of thing was happening on Galactica - and the rest of the fleet wasn't invited? Morale would plummet!"

But at the next bed over, someone was listening...

Meanwhile, I didn't get the chance to play any cards on that Crisis, so I need to discard three cards. Behold the awesome power of my hand!

I discard:
Red-1
Red-1
Blue-1

I'll also exercise my Recon ability.

Resource has been adjusted. Boomer traveled a LOT this round. Brig to Command to Sick Bay.

Since Boomer has elected to recon the crisis deck, the end of round summary will wait until I hear her answer.

Ugh. Not something we want to have to deal with. Bury that card, good sir.

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

BSG

Sorry for the delay the library's closed Friday & Sunday and my roommates were in a play on Saturday of which it was neccesary to attend both performances.

I feel like we ought to be shooting at those basestars. Perhaps I should XO Tigh to use a nuke? Or would someone like to move to Weapons Control?

I don't want to waste what might be an important turn making a snap decision without input from others. I'm behind in bitches so I don't know how Apollo is doing irl, he might still be in 'sickbay'{{{Apollo}}}. I'm going to sleep on this one and beg for advice from other humans. I'm considering

  • xo-ing Tigh in the hopes that he is human and will use the xo to fire on a base star
  • drawing more quorum cards
  • scouting the crisis deck

what say ye?

I believe Apollo may be in sickbay for much of the week. (Note also that I will be away in the Great White North from Thursday morning to Tuesday morning, but I will probably be able to connect from Friday evening to Monday morning.)

As for your turn, I'd say this would be my order of preference:
1) xo-ing Tigh (I do "owe" him one)
2) scouting the crisis deck
3) drawing more quorum cards

An XO to the Admiral could be a good idea. A nuke stands a chance of destroying the raiders with the basestar too.

I can definitely help with those nukes.

Do you suggest I fire both of them? I would like to hold onto 1, but I could use my second action to draw blue (in case we take more damage and something happens to chief?) or move to weapons or hangar bay for future action.
