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

BSG

Morale drops by 1. Next, the raiders activate. Finally, the jump prep track advances by 1.

That concludes Helo's turn. President Roslin, I'm sending your cards. When you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

Don't get used to it; I'm beaming up soon.

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

BSG

I am very comfortable here in my office and will not move.

I will discard Consolidate Power 1 and Consolidate Power 2 to draw a Quorum card. Let me see what I get before I proceed, I really don't know what to expect from the Quorum.

Aww, look at that. You think I'll care what you want then. SO CUTE!!

President Roslin has been sent a Quorum card, and opted to draw a second Quorum card. She now holds 3 Quorum cards, and is having Religious Visions. I've sent the President 2 Crisis Cards; Madam President, when you're ready, please post your choice.

BSG

Look, humanity, I know we're all under a lot of stress what with the Raiders coming at us and the Basestar looming and our Admiral off relaxing on sunny Caprica, but that's no reason to be talking about whose religious visions aren't so useful, or whose husband is poisoning her, or any of the myriad rumours that Billy tells me he's hearing. Or at least you could come tell me the good ones, I have tea and cookies.

My crisis is Unsettling Stories and I choose Option 1. We can do this people, or I'll know the reason why.

I play an Investigative Committee 3 interrupt.

BSG

President Roslin has opted for the skill check. She has played an IC-3, so all player's contributions will be open. However, note that in Pegasus, Destiny is still hidden. Thus, there is still some uncertainty around the check.

Other possible interrupts are a Scientific Research, or one of the Reckless interrupts. Everyone, please play or pass on interrupts, either in-thread or by CO. You can also send me COs for your play into this check.

Yeah, and we're going to do it At Any Cost - 3. Screw you, Destiny. Stop eating away at our morale.

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.

BSG

Sadly, I can't help at all with this check. I also have no interrupts.

Another CO reminder: if you intend to play no cards, you can send me COs to that effect.
