Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

There are blow up dolls in the Admirals Quarters? Huh, that's interesting. Are those issued by the fleet? Or black market thing?

Anyhow, purple deck has been reshuffled, thanks to Admiral Sickbay.

OK, well, that's the end of the turn, so, now on to the Crisis Phase! (I love this part)

Witch Hunt (a few weeks early for this one, no?)

There is a partial complete aspect. Look for the e-mail with details.

Question: Can Chief be "moved" to Sickbay?

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

Question: Can Chief be "moved" to Sickbay?

Good question; this wasn't covered in the original rules, but the FAQ states that the answer is no.

What do people think?

I can help somewhat with the check. Since our recent checks have been closed it's hard to know, but I suspect destiny will not be kind to us.

ETA: If someone has to go to sickbay, I think it should be me. I don't think we need two of us on Colonial One at this point anyway.

Sure you do. If you unbalance it like that, it could tip over! It'll be like the Poseidon Adventure... IN SPACE!!

And who am I in that scenario? Shelley Winters?

Yes, you're Shelley Winters with massive biceps. Tigh is Gene Hackman. Specifically, Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor.

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

BSG

I can help with the check but if Helo's looking to get back to Galactica anyway...

I can always make an inspirational speech in attempt to raise morale but we all know how good I am at food rationing.

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

I can help with the check, but I think with morale being our highest resource and Helo wanting to get over to Galactica anyway, it might worth it just to conserve cards and tank this one.

Of course, this all depends on Admiral Salty being able to XO me out of Sickbay on his turn and me getting dealt an XO to use on Helo on my turn.
