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.

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

Pass on interrupts

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...

I'll mention too, Starbuck plays first into this check. We(well, you; I'm no help either way) don't need to decide whether to go for it until we see what she does.

It's still the Chief and Baltar to declare on interrupts, yes?

Just Baltar, I have COs from Chief. I forgot to mail the spreadsheet to myself this morning, so I won't do anything further until 6ish board time anyway.

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.

BSG

Pass on interrupts.

I can help with the check, but I'm also okay with tanking it in order to save cards.

How much distance was the jump, anyway?

It's a 2-Distance jump, gets us to 5 total.

The more I think about it (and having looked at what Super Crises might entail), I'm leaning towards tanking.
