Yup. Manly tears.

A single manly tear. For the wanton destruction. I could have fixed her, you know!

Hmm, my usual leadership techniques aren't working here. This calls for drastic measures. Both of you! Eyes focused on me, now! Stare... directly... into the Leaderhips. Watch their every motion... Feel your mind unburdening...

Now. Everything is fine. When you look at the basestar, you will not see a threat. You will see job security. A sense of calm and well-being is washing over you. There is only peace and leaderhips.

When I count backwards to 1, you will wake up. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. Alright, soldiers? Get back to work now. We have a battlestar to run! t exits, humming "Paid the cost to be the boss"

Ensign 1: "Does-- Does he actually think that works?"
Ensign 2: "Hey, do you want to be the one to tell him otherwise? Anyway... It kind of puts your other problems into perspective, doesn't it?"

Menawhile, kudos, Starbuck. You killed our jump icon and our raptor. Just for that, I'm cancelling your roller disco privileges. I don't know why I ever agreed to it in the first place, really. Only one pair of skates survived the Cylon attack, and they don't even fit me. What's the point if I can't break out my sweet dance moves and declare to the awe-struck crew, "That's the way your Admiral rolls!"?

BSG

I...I feel something unburdening...Oh, no wait, that's just my lunch. Carry on. <exchanges significant glances behind the Admiral's back> What? Oh, yes sir. Uh-huh. Yes, I'll just be over here, got some rags to clean the, right.

Don't forget too, you can use COs to help speed theings up where possible. For instance, Chief, I expect Starbuck to reveal on her turn; using up her OPG seems like the last hurrah before hitting the great goo bath in the sky. If that's the case, the board won't have changed from its current layout, as there'll be no Crisis on her turn. (Ditto if she stays but is still stuck in the Brig.) You could put in COs for what you do on your turn, for if that's the case.

BSG

I have been using CO's! It's just that somebody keeps messing them up! I shall see what Starbuck does. She may just be painting on the walls of her cell during her turn. In which case I would need to invoke my special paint removing ability during my turn. ONLY TIME WILL TELL!

BSG

Yes, Chief has been very good about COs, despite not being like the son you never had.

Yes, I don't mean to suggest anyone hasn't been using them. This crew's been very fast. (I've already had one email from omnis complaining about it.) I just can't pass up an opportunity to cheerlead for them, having been on the GM side of things myself.

BSG

I'm confused, Omnis isn't playing. How can it be moving too fast?
