Okay, if I do get XO'd, I can either Consolidate Power and draw (Even out of my colors. Red? Purple?) to pad our card count, and then shoot at the basestar. Or I can shoot at it twice. What say you all?

I say shoot twice. I think.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, and that's what Baltar said too. I think I agree.

I have a question. How do the secrecy rules work here? I only send the loyalty card info to the President, right? And then he says what he wants to about it?

That is correct.

Now, my orders:

Move: None. I'm in Command!

For my action, I intend to give an XO to Chief Tyrol, but just to be on the safe side I'll wait for the President to confirm his loyalty. Chief, I'd suggest maybe shooting at the basestar first. You can decide based on the outcome whether you'd then like to fire again or Consolidate Power. (You can draw outside your skill set with a CP. I'd suggest Purple, followed by Yellow, as the most useful colours for us.)

Yeah, shoot first, decide whether to shoot again later.

A wise choice, Admiral. The testing's been done, you might as well wait for the results. I know everyone's been a little on edge since we lost Starbuck, especially you, sir. Don't smash your model ship or anything though. I realize in these tough times we all must sacrifice, so I'm perfectly happy to submit to the testing for the good of the people. I do have to say, though, I'm not entirely sure quite that much of my DNA was necessary. Still, we soon shall be able to take on our common enemy.

Finally finished Medal Of Honor - Frontline. Totally guessed the actor playing the Colonel who does all the briefings. Helped that I actually did a show with him at old job (Morgan Sheppard).

So I get through the whole game, gold medals all around (finally), and realize that this game is too old to add points to my gamertag on Xbox live. D'oh! Oh well.

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.

[frowns at the test results, muttering to himself.]Is it the little pink plus sign or the little pink minus sign that's good? I can never remember. Oh, frak it...[grabs a "phone"] Good news, Admiral. I am completely (mostly) certain that the Chief is not at this precise moment a Cylon. Probably.

Thank you, Doctor. In that case, I am completely (mostly) certain that I will:

Play an XO-1 on Chief Tyrol.

On COs from the Chief, he will be activating Weapons Control to fire at the basestar.

Since this is a die roll, SPs are in effect. Please post or send COs about interrupts. I have COs from Chief and Adama.
