Ooh, looks like a good mix of the base/Pegasus/Exodus. Hope you guys are having fun up there in your fancy spaceships while I'm stranded on Caprica.
I'll take 1G and 2P.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Is that Admiral Helo, stranded on Caprica?

Yeah, I'm going to be barking orders REALLY LOUDLY. Hope you can hear me up there. And, uh, come rescue me before you get attacked.

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

For tonight's game, the part of Admiral Helo will be played by a high-strung pomeranian.
That's everyone's draw. Cards are going out now. Dee's turn is first. Dee, when you've received your cards and are ready, please post your move and action.

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.

I think this is the first time we've had an Admiral Helo.
I just realized with Pegasus it's possible to start with an Admiral Tigh and a President Tigh. Should the humans just say "We quit" at that point?

If that were to occur, Tigh could use his OPG to take the Presidency off his wife, and Ellen could use her OPG to take either title off her husband (for a turn at least). I would be obliged in this case to rename Tigh's ability "Declare Marital Law".

Sector 5: 1 RSV
A recreational space vehicle?
(Also, do you always start out under attack? I don't remember that from the game I played. Or maybe we just took care of it really quickly.)
