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

BSG

You could ask the Nutrimatic drinks dispenser to make you a nice cup of tea.

Cylon techniques of seduction, ladies and gentlemen. No wonder they're such a hit.

OK, I'm thinking we want to get Chief shooting again? I kinda want to get out of the Armory but that may not be practical. Any moving acting advice, humans?

Getting the Chief to take some shots (no, not those kinds of shots, does he look like Saul Tigh to you?) sounds like a great idea. I'd say that it you want to get our of the Armoury, go for it. The Cylons have put their weight behind bombarding us with Crises, and those Centurions haven't moved at all since they got here. Maybe Communications or Weapons Control, whatever looks good to you.

Yup, I already have CO's in to activate command should you XO me.

Great. I will move to Communications and play an XO-1 on Chief Tyrol.

Okay, Chief has activated Command to go after the raiders in Sector 6.

The first activation resulted in rolls of 3 and 8. That kills two of those raiders.

The second activation resulted in rolls of 6 and 5. And that destroys two more.

Who knew Chief had it in him? Maybe he can Analyze that Enemy Fighter (7BP) that just appeared on the Dradis. Details to follow in email.

Good shooting, Chief! And you brought one back with you too! Actually, that part's a little creepy.

What do you guys think we should choose here? It'd be nice to get a raptor back, but at this stage of the game it probably doesn't really matter. If we choose the die roll, Helo can use his reroll too. I'm not much help for the skill check, unfortunately.

BSG

Woo, successful shooting! And also hoo, Jump Track!

I wouldn't be of much help with the skill check, either. I'm just gonna co ahead and choose the die roll.

Pass on interrupts. Let's see how it goes.

(Oh, Helo, if it turns out we don't need your reroll on this, you'll still have it up your sleeve for the raider attack.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Whoo! I'm like the combatant you never commissioned!

Roll with option to reroll is probably our best bet here, if Helo's okay with the potential card loss.

Hee, crosspost while I was looking at my cards. Good call. No interrupts, as ever.
