Cue ominous symphonic music of impending peril.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

You didn't even need Helo's manly arms as the Chief managed to jump you with a 7. Good work, Chief!
Now it's just up to L'Amiral Chef-Hanches to settle on a new temporary home and then it's Welcome to the Sleeper Phase Beeyotches!

2) deal out loyalty cards (since even with a 1 we'll hit the sleeper phase)Hot damn, this game is moving quick!
in Non-BSG news, has anyone played LIMBO on Xbox arcade? Time Magazine listed in the top 10 games of the year. I played the demo. It's cute.

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

See, this is exactly the sort of dignified communication we mortals have come to expect from the gods.
Strap yourselves in, Colonials! You know, destiny is a funny thing. Once I thought I was destined to become Emperor of Greenland, sole monarch over its 52,000 inhabitants. Then I thought I was destined to build a Polynesian longship in my garage. I was wrong then, but I've got it now. I'm the destined protector of the fleet. I'm in the driver's seat, and putting the hammer down! From now on, you can all address me as Admiralissimo GO!dama. Honk if you love JUSTICE!
Now that was exhilarating. We have got to do that again. That Desolate Moon was such a drag anyway, am I right? Ok, Mr Gaeta, where have we landed now?
...How is that any different from a Desolate Moon?
I don't care if they're spelled differently, Mr Gaeta. They're synonyms. Look, I have the thesaurus right here. No, I'm not saying it's a bad location -- look, stop crying, you're embarrassing the crew. No, I'm sure it's very nice, I was just hoping for something a little... different, that's all. I mean, how is Helo supposed to repopulate the human race in a place like this?
Our new destination is Barren Planet.
Not mad about it, but the distance is good, and I think that's our highest priority. I suggest that we try to find the time to scout destinations before the next jump. If we get another 3-Distance jump up next, then we only have two more jumps to go. We'll also need to find something more Fuel-efficient next go-round.

Maybe the Admiral should stop yakking and look where he's going.
Crash Landing (6 YP)! Details sent via email. You should also have your sleeper info.

I can't help with this check. To make the obvious comment, Fuel loss is Not An Option. If we do fail, Helo, we'll be seeing you back on Galactica sooner than we thought.

Well, I can help a lot. So that should, er, help. Unfortunately, we once again do not know who we can trust. Say what you like about Starbuck, at least we know she's out to destroy us.
Hm.

By my count, the rest of us can't do much. If we're to pass this, it's pretty much on Helo.
The question is, should we try to pass this? I'm greatly concerned about Starbuck's Super Crisis. If she has, say, Inbound Nukes or Bomb on Colonial One, we will need everything we can throw at it to have a chance of passing. (That one of us is a traitor makes it all the worse.)
Can we afford to try to pass this? (Would it even help if we didn't?) what does the crew think?
I'm mindful too that if we don't pass this, it puts me in a position to do some serious damage. Obviously I know my own loyalties and am comfortable about it, but for the rest of you, it's a risk you'd no doubt want to consider carefully.

OK, well, options. If we go for it, I would likely need a little assistance to pass and we'll definitely be lighter on cards for the danger that awaits.
If we tank, being in sickbay wouldn't be terrible for me, at least not right away. If the Admiral spends the Fuel, he'd definitely be tipping his hand, but it could well be worth it to the toasters to do so. That seems like a serious risk. Also, going that route gets us no information regarding anyone's loyalty unless that risk goes bad.
I think I will need to read the rules on the Loyalty Deck some more...
