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

Am I the only one who draws blue?

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

BSG

No, Dee draws Blue as well, and Starbuck has the option to do so.

ah cool. I'll stay over here on Pegasus then, unless I'm needed otherwise.

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

I can draw either 1G or 1B. Dee also draws Blue.

I would say we have one of three options here.

1) Jump the frak out of here, preferably with a Strategic Planning on the roll. (Unfortunately, I don't have one, or I'd offer it.)

2) XO me to try to clear out some raiders.

3) XO Ellen to fire on the basestars (starting with the damaged one) twice.

If we stick it out in the hopes of another jump icon and decide to XO Ellen instead of me, I can keep the raiders from destroying any civilians for one activation, though we may still end up down two more vipers and with me in sickbay, depending on how they roll.

I would say no matter what else we do this turn, if we don't jump, we've got to do it next turn. The skies are just way too crowded at the moment.

Or option 4 just occured to me: We have Mr. Gaeta sitting in Pegasus' Engine Room. If he's got two cards to burn, he could guarantee us a jump icon with an XO.

I can work the engine room, yessir, er, ma'am.

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

BSG

I'm for jumping immediately, but I won't squawk if Dee goes with another option. Unless it turns out really badly, then I might squawk a little. Side effect of these otherwise lovely pills, I'm afraid.

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

BSG

What would we potentially lose if we jumped early? Just 1 population? That's our highest resource right now, and Sector 5 is getting pretty hairy. If we do sit tight, letting Starbuck blow shit up would probably be wise.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

I'm for jumping and taking the risk.

I move to FTL and initiate a jump
