And the basestar activation roll is... 1!

Looks like that battle station was neither fully armed nor fully operational.

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

Men and women of the Colonies -- this is it! After all our struggles, being constantly harried by the Cylons at every turn, I can announce that we have the coordinates to reach Kobol, and are ready to jump! And I so order it. Helo, you're just like the son I never had. I'm charging you with seeing that the civilians make it safely. Chief, I'm leaving it to you to head to FTL Control and press the Big Red Button.

Move: none
Action: Play XO-1 on the Chief

Strap yourselves in, everyone. The Pradmiralissimo is promising a bumpy ride!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I would just like to say that after having actually played the game over the holidays, I can actually follow these BSG posts and am enjoying your running commentary. Especially billytea's.

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

Wow that was a good game. I was so sure we had you humans licked.

Well, it wasn't quite over yet.

The Admiral/President played an SP-5 interrupt on the roll to no avail since the roll was a 1 and the humans lost 3 more population.
