Yeah, I was going to suggest XOing me to draw more cards (probably 2 yellow and 2 purple), but the food situation is dire.

Zarek, do you also have a way to get cards as a second action? Because we really need those to get through the cylon double-play coming up.

No jump track?
Oh crap, forgot to write in the other details of the card. I don't have it in front of me. I *think* there was jump track and activation of something (not that it matters, because the skies are empty). I don't believe there was anything added to the board. Yikes, sorry. Tried to get it out quick before work, since I knew tonight would be a late night (hopefully). When bt wakes up, I'm sure he could give specifics of the card.

crap I've mispalced my cards but I think I have a way to draw more.

I love that I can wander into my room asking D, "have you seen Tom Zarek around here?" and he knows I mean the two 3x5 cards with scribbles all over them.

I have three ways to draw two cards.

Okay, if Chief gets an XO, I would suggest that he XO Zarek to do his OPG and then draw cards, preferably purple, which shows up on many regular crisis cards and all Super crisis cards (except the non-skill check one).

The next few turns should be interesting to say the least.

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

BSG

Oh, wow. What are the odds, huh? Just as well you evaded my Nukes.

Seriously? Didn't we already get that crisis like two or three times?

You did, twice before. Of course, those first two did you a favour, ensuring that the sympathiser would be human (for certain values of 'human').

This one makes up for it though. You have earned a ventage!

I have three ways to draw two cards.

Just on the secrecy rules, it may be a bit much to specify the number of ways you have. Not that it's a big deal, and it's certainly ok to state that you have the capacity to do so.

BSG

Ugh. Note to self: never again make the food the resource you intentionally sacrifice to keep the Sympthazer on Team Human. Yeesh.

Yeah, it's sounding like Soylent Green time.

Home again. I recalled correctly Yes on Jump Track. Raider activation. Nothing added to the board. Since we have clear skies, that activation is void.

Before we get to that point, the President has to discard 2 cards. Please post what those are.

But I neeeed them.

Very well. I discard a Y1 and a P1.
