No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

The mod's sent me my choice of damage tokens. It is just like my birthday.

"Apollo, shoot Boomer's raptor down! Do it now!"

"Admiral? You-- you want me to take out Boomer?"

"She's been playing us! Get her before she destroys anything else!"

"Sir, she's alongside the FTL Control. There's a risk I could damage --"

"Just do it! That's an order!"

t crackle "Well, Admiral, I can tell when I'm not wanted. It's been fun, gotta run. Ta-ta!"

"Sir, she's spooling up to jump! She's too close to the ship, it'll --"

t Boomer's raptor jumps away, tearing a hole in the FTL Control, and taking with it Admiral Tigh's secret stash. Sadly, at that very moment Admiral Tigh had been getting intimate with said secret stash.

"NOOO!! MY BOOZE, MY BOOOOZE!!"

Orders: Play Damage tokens: FTL Control, Food Resource. -1 Food, FTL Control damaged, Tigh to Sickbay.

Final order of business, I discard the following cards:
Yellow 1
Yellow 1
Purple 2
Purple 2
Red 1

(See? I really did have two scouting missions. Would I steer you wrong?)

Wow! :: eats popcorn ::

...

Oh crap, right. I'm the GM. Can't just watch. I gotta take care of business.

As Boomer mentioned, FTL is out of business. Food took a ding. Tigh is in sickbay (maybe sobering up a bit?).

And I thought it meant of end of turn recap. Alas. This isn't Boomers turn, it's sickboy Admiral! So we get to play a crisis card. Oh wait, Boomer said she'd scout that puppy out... huh... I think she used all her actions already. Should we let her scout it anyway? OK, maybe not. Let's see what the Gods of Kobol have in mind for you!

Low Supplies

Details to be e-mailed.

Good news, you have half as many folks trying to spike the check! Sweet, huh?

We shall call it "gloaster".

No gloating, it was just a 50/50 call whether moving those ships was going to work. Excited it paid off.

Well, at least we know one of the people who heard all along the watch tower.

Sorry space ghosts. I can't reign him in, and I can't airlock him. I think the only way to get him to stuff a sock in it, is for the humans to win. GooooooOOOOO HuMANS! :: pom pom shake ::

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

BSG

frak frak frak! Why didn't I listen to my instincts instead of going with the crowd?

I can help a little with the check; I pass on interrupts.

Yeah, that's right. We Cylons get all the best music. [link]

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.

BSG

This truly sucks. Who knew Tigh's stash counted against our Food supplies?

It's a tossup what's on ship D, but since Boomer felt it necessary to move B again after previoiusly taking a look at it, chances are real good losing it is going to hurt.

I've got an IC I can throw into the mix, and I can help with the check, but the question is, do we want to take a shot at passing this, or do we want to take a -2 to morale and save our cards for the next crisis?

My turn is coming up and my hand max is 8, so I need to spend cards either this round or next to avoid discarding.

Illigitimi non carborundum

BSG

At least that's one flushed out.

I believe it's Chief's turn next, so provided he's not the other toaster (and I've seen no evidence that he is), he can get FTL repaired stat.

I can only help a very little with the check. However, there's a lot of yellow and green in this group as a whole so we should be able to make this with little problem.

If someone has an IC to spare, that would be good. Not if it would be better used in the check (if someone DOES spike it, it narrows down who it might be and might actually be more revelatory than an IC, but I'm not sure if that's worth the risk to morale loss). ETA: Kalshane, saving cards for future crises isn't a horrible idea but I'd rather not take such a big hit to morale.
