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.

I drew an XO. Thoughts on whether I should play it on the Chief or the Admiral? (Sorry, Helo, you're up after me, so you're out.) Or should I sit pretty and draw a couple Quorum cards?

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

BSG

I clearly need some more practice, but I`m happy to keep taking potshots as long as it seems helpful. Or the Admiral`s in Command, so we could try that avenue.

BSG

Aw, I wouldn't run amok. But I'll get to do stuff soon enough, no worries.

Meanwhile, I don't know, those Civilians could use some kind of protection. I don't have a good handle on what Quorum cards are good for, so I can't judge how useful getting more would be.

Yeah, that`s the other thing is, we could get you in the sky, right?

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

BSG

If given an XO; I can offer to send a viper to Sector 4, and scout as well. We're getting close to jumping; I coups scout either the Crisis or Destination deck.

I don't think I'd be that useful, despite my assurance that I would not run amok. After I get my card draw, we'll see.

I like the sound of viper + scout from the Admiral.

Wait, who`s leading a coup? Heh. No, I`m good with the admiral commanding a viper.

While I agree it's probably a good idea to scout the Destination deck, I'm not sure I want you doing it, Admiral. If you're a toaster, you could really screw us over on where we jump by potentially getting a pick of 3 destination cards.

On the other hand, Helo's the only other person who draws purple and I'm not too keen on XOing him with him up next.

Eh, I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Move: None

Action: Play a G2 XO on Adama.

Thank you, President Ferret. Keep this up and you could even reach President Meerkat. One day even President Badger.

Action 1: Activate Command to launch one viper into Sector 5 and move it to Sector 4.
Action 2: Play LS-1 on Crisis Deck. Pass on interrupts.

The President is correct that it's often preferable to have someone other than the Admiral scout the Destination Deck. That way, the scouter and the Admiral can keep each other honest.
