I know. I felt the absence of those balloons... I felt it deeply. Oh yes, it was +1 Morale for the rest of the fleet, but -3 Morale for its Admiral. It's a pain that you couldn't understand, if you never had children. Or had a compulsion to form paternal relationships with near-strangers at the slightest provocation.
Helo, may I commend to you the course of playing an XO on President Weeeasel. Especially with our cards so heavily depleted, it's the cheapest way we have to protect the fleet from the machinations (see what I did there? Oh yes, even in the throes of his grief, Adama can still bring it) of the Cylon Starbuck.
BSG
I agree with this course of action. And I respect the admiral like a father, which everyone but him can see, with me here, all loyal and attentive and occasionally emotionally reckless, never getting flighty and stuck and having to find his way home, or being made of metal, even though he never notices, I'm just here cleaning up everyone's messes, and he just loves those pilots, doesn't he. What? No, I didn't say that out loud. What I said was, I agree with the Admiral's suggestion. Like I always do. Mostly. Except when he's wrong.
BSG
Chief, have I told you that-- What I mean to say is, did I ever mention to you that, um, it looks like someone spilt some motor oil on the hangar deck. You should take care of that when you get a moment.
BSG
Sir, yes, sir. I'll...get right on that.
BSG
Ok then. As previously mentioned, I discard the R1 to
move
to the Press Room.
For my
action
I play a G2 to XO President Baltar.
Gods guide us all to justice.
This nifty thing where I get to do something on my turn is pretty sweet.
BSG
It will get even sweeter when you get to do stuff on my turn too. Essentially, if no one else XOs you before my turn, I'll do so, and you can work the Press Room a couple of times, or both hit up the press and send out a scout.
BSG
Helo, your move and actions have been noted.
I'm currently waiting for Baltar to post a Move and Action, or two Actions.
BSG
Sorry I suck so bad. Doesn't it seem like the game is moving really fast this time around? I won't resist the brigging, I figure once the real cylon reveals we'll need my cards too.
BSG
Sorry for the delay folks, but I didn't have time to check the board before work this morning and didn't want send COs and pull the trigger on the brigging without first verifying our Admiral's logic.
No offense, but suggesting we brig our best pilot is exactly the sort of thing a Cylon would do. "Trust but verify" and all that.
All that said...
We're agreed then. Can't say I'm happy about losing our best pilot and the Hero of the Battle of...um, Whatever That Place Full of Cylons Was That We Jumped Out of Really Quickly, but we can't have a Cylon and balloon-hater running loose. It's bad for morale. Plus, she might kill us all, which is even worse for morale, I suppose.
In any case, I trust you and your marines to take care of this promptly. I need to get back to the Quorum. [hands the arrest order to Adama.]
Move: Discard B1 to move to President's Office.
Action: Draw 1 Quorum card and then play Arrest Order on Starbuck.
(Sorry, Laga. I don't think anyone is saying you suck. The cards played do seem to point a finger at you, though. Of course, I wouldn't have noticed but we have some obessesiveenthusiastic card counters playing.)
