For his second action, the Prad... has decided to try to scout the Crisis Deck. This involves a die roll, so please post about interrupts regarding SPs.

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

BSG

Pass on interrupts

Helo, we've only two raptors left, so an SP wouldn't be out of place; but it's not necessary, especially if it's a valuable card. It'll count positive for the briggening after all.

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

BSG

No SP from me.

BSG

Ah. Very good, Pradmiralissimojolator, sir.

And of course, I don't have any interrupts with which to interrupt.

You know, DNA analysis has led to a theory that the closest land-based relatives of the whales are hippos. They call it the Whippo Hypothesis.

By which I mean to say, bury it. In Whale.

El Hippo may have gone off the deep end when he sprayed all that water.

In any case, his burying of that card means you get the next one in the deck, which is, a Cylon Attack!

Namely, the dreaded Thirty Three.

Details in an email to come. Also to come, the turn summary, since there is no action to be taken for this crisis.

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

And she just can't hide it!

No, seriously, their spine does this glowy thing, it's pretty disturbing.

Cards to be sent to El Hippo stat. Note: Adama, you now stand at 14 cards and you may need to discard at the end of your turn to get below 11. To continue the Christopher Guest theme: "Yours doesn't go to 11."

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
