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

We're not talking to you.

Is this some kind of zen koan? "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" territory? Are you trying to blow my synthetic mind with logical paradox? Because that only works in bad sci fi shows.

I still think the Chief could be your other Cylon. Could a mere human be that good with machines? And I'm speaking from experience here. Yowza!

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.

How's this for a plan, then: if I draw an XO, I'll repair FTL and XO Zarek. If I don't, I'll repair the AQ and try to brig Apollo.

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

BSG

That sounds like a good plan.

If you XO me I'll walk down to the brig on my very own. Promise.

Isn't that generous of him? And now, a word of advice: Don't just tell women what they want to hear. Type it in all caps.

Since our running total is now 8 out of 7 and we are already passing, I play no cards into this check.

if I draw an XO, I'll repair FTL and XO Zarek. If I don't, I'll repair the AQ and try to brig Apollo.

This makes sense to me.

WAIT! With Chief's once per game ability, he negates all red, so the new total is 8 out of 7. Supreme PASS.

But WAIT! We still need to hear from Tigh! Maybe he's hearing Jimi Hendrix.

Admiral?

Jumping up and down, playing air guitar. "'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky!"

He is, but fortunately, it's not a famous Bob Dylan song made even more famous by Jimi.

(Oh, come on, what ELSE would he listen to other than "Purple Haze"?)

I play no cards.

"Chief, your plans of action sound good to me. And thanks for making sure that frakker Apollo didn't do any real damage with that Viper out there. Proceed at your discretion."

*continues playing air guitar*

Sorry. I'm in crazy period right now, 2 shows about to load in, and minimal student help, since school doesn't start for another week n a half. I hope to have end turn wrap up, with civvie explosions, and chief card draw late tonight board time.

Chief OPG changes Reds to ZERO.
New Total: 8 out of 7. Super Pass! (not to be confused with Multi-Pass).

With that pass, you win "No Effect"! Woot.
Raiders get to activate. Which means we destroy those two civilian ships in Sector 4. Each of those ships have a -1 Population tied to them. That brings Population down to 7, just barely not in the red. We have a cylon outed. Another not officially outed, but still able to be a danger. What an interesting round!
