Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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

BSG

sorry I was afk so long. I pass.

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

Given a choice, I'd rather massively over-pass this one than fail it. Passing gets us out of this mess with minimal losses, whereas failing gets us stuck longer and wastes a bunch of a cards.

Adama, since there are a bunch of interesting cards there, did you want to use your OPG to scoop them up?

Baltar, your cards are on the way.

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

BSG

There are indeed a bunch of interesting cards; but there'll be other bunches. I pass on using my OPG.

BSG

Ok Doc, may I suggest a change of plans? The Chief is sitting right there in FTL; let's get him to punch that button and clear out of here!

Wow. Okay. Wow. Didn't expect that big of a blowout there.

I agree, Admiral. Now would be a very good time to leave. While the Chief is a very good at what he does, I'm perfectly capable of pressing a button myself.

Move: FTL Control.

Action: Jump the Fleet.

What was that? The Olympic Carrier said they're having trouble resolving the jump coordinates? That's terrible, though in my defense it was the Admiral's idea to jump before all ships reported in. In any case, I'm sure it's just a temporary glitch and they'll catch up in no time.

ETA: Pass on interrupts.

Note: With this FTL Control jump, you risk population via a die roll. If a 1-6 is rolled, you will lose 1 population.

After I hear from everyone on interrupts (I believe Strategic Planning is the only one in effect here), I will roll the die, adjust population if necessary, remove all ships from the board, and send the Admiral his choice of destinations.
