You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

It's nice to see you bonding.

Sorry for ducking out last night before sending the end-of-turn summary, but I realized that GMing on 3 martinis was probably not a good idea. (Let's just say it was lucky everything I posted and sent last night was set up in the morning.)

So, there's nothing to be done about this crisis, or am I missing something?

Sorry, I know how frustrating Helo's first turn can be. On the upside, you're almost rid of your negative ability while most others last the whole game.

Starbuck, please post whether you'd like to draw 1 blue or 1 green for your turn. Then I'll send your complete draw and you can post your move and action.

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

BSG

1 Green, please. I'm itching to get up in the air but I'm also scared of the next crisis. Would anyone else like to voice an opinion before I decide?

I think I'm happier with you up and at 'em, Starbuck. Just don't break anything. I'm clearly going to be busy enough as it is.

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

BSG

Yep, whatever you do for your bonus action, I think you should get out into space. It's where you're at your best.

BSG

OK, it says if I start my turn in a viper I get an extra action but if my action is to launch myself in a viper is that the end of my turn?

No. True, you don't get an extra action from your special ability this turn, because you don't start in a viper. However, the Hangar Deck action allows you to launch in a viper into Sector 5 or 6, and take a bonus action as well. So you could launch, and also play an XO or scout the Crisis Deck. Launching is a bit of a freebie like that.

Got it. I launch myself into section 5 and play a P1 to Scout the crisis deck.

A scouting mission means a roll of the die. If anyone would like to play an interrupt, speak now, or forever hold your peace.
