If the former, what authority!

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

That is a final decision, from a Final Decider. Now watch this drive.

While I wait for Baltar's decision about his delusionsDelusional Intuition, I'll point out that we have a die roll coming up and people should feel free to send me COs about interrupts.

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.

[looks up as the marines burst into his office]Can I help you? Ow! What are you doing? I'm the President! Ow! I'm Gaius Baltar! Ow! I'm...Ow! Not the face! Not the face!
[wakes up in Sickbay] Fine, Admiral. If that's how you want to play it.
ETA: I'll draw 1 Blue please.
Pass on interrupts.

BTW, I completely agree that Morale is much more expendable than Fuel at this point.

Bah. I knew the Ensign would wimp out on the ball gag. Now I have to postpone getting his official Presidential portrait done.

That reminds me, especially with new players: dealing with the interrupts can chew up a lot of time. If you send conditional orders to the GM for some stuff, it can speed things up. Some examples:
You can put in a CO to pass on any interrupts if you don't actually have that interrupt. (For instance, I don't draw Yellow or Blue, so I don't get Investigative Committees or Scientific Research, the two skill check interrupts. I've put in a CO to pass on those interrupts, unless I get access to them later.)
You can put in a CO for straightforward situations. For instance, Strategic Planning interrupts only ever make a die roll more likely to succeed. If you're not a Cylon, you probably don't want to help them when they're shooting at us. You could put in a standing CO never to play an SP on a Cylon attack (like now). Even if you ar a Cylon, you might put in the same CO, if you don't think it's worth blowing your cover.
