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

BSG

MUWAHAHAH!! Behold, the fleet is at my mercy! With a word, I can drive our Fuel to the brink of calamity! Tremble before me, my minions, for your very lives are mine to snuff out at my whim!

...What's that? No, no, of course I'm human. I'm just a control freak.

I choose -1 Morale, Helo to Sickbay

Gosh, that was a close one! Wasn't that a close one? Really gets the heart rate going, I know I was on the edge of my seat.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Well, that was an exhausting turn. I'm sure looking forward to relaxing in Sick Bay while absolutely nothing goes wrong for the fleet.

Heh. I`m sure we all have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Well, of course not. Ninjas aren't dangerous, Chief. They're more afraid of you than you are of them.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Is this where I reveal that some of my speediness is due to the fact that I was lucky enough to have kept all of Omnis's emails from the last game? So I usually just have to search for the card I want and cut and paste and then double check. But we didn't have this crisis last time and I had to do all the work myself!
I feel so... violated.

Don't mess with me Admiral, or I'll start writing all of your instructions in French
But, do you have a flag?

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

BSG

Oops, I think I accidentally threw out my character notes. I have co's for my card draw after our GM is kind enough to verify what I have in my hand already.

unrelatedly, I have a D&D question. I have some awesome shenanigans planned for my victims players tonight, but I want to make sure...

I don't prompt them for an insight check, right? It's on them if they want to check to see if they really believe the guy leading them deeper and deeper into the swamp is the missing messenger, correct?

If you're playing 4e, I think that if they don't mention it, they get a passive Insight check (10 + their modifier).
