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

BSG

If Madame President has an XO, I suggest XOing someone (Helo would be good to also get him out of Sickbay) to go to Weapons Control and shoot that Basestar. We really need to take that thing out before we jump, or else it's going to get shuffled back into the deck (which means Scar will also get shuffled back in.)

If you jump with Relentless Pursuit still in effect, the only card from the discard pile that will get shuffled back in is Thirty Three. Scar won't get reshuffled.

Wow, I feel so rested! I'm going to move to Weapons Control and fire on the basestar. If I miss, I will re-roll.

I'm afraid your reroll only applies on your own turn.

Given the above, I might just reconfirm: do you still want to keep these orders, or do you wish to do something else?

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

BSG

Oh yeah. Damn.

Should I still give it a shot, Madame President? I was also considering Launching a Scout to make sure we keep moving towards jumping and/or make sure your Preventative Policy goes to good use. Both, if we're lucky.

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

Oh, okay. So is it only when a card asks you to find another specific card and apply it that the discards get shuffled back in? I thought we've encountered Crisises in the past that risked shuffling the Crisis discard back in.

I'd say take the shot. The sooner we take out that basestar, the better I'll feel. And barring a critical hit, it's going to take three shots to do it.

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

BSG

Yup. Shoot that basestar, Admiral. Your scouting is unnecessary with the power of my Religious Visions guiding us.

There are cards that cause the deck to be reshuffled, but nothing that rechuffles all the discards back in.

BSG

I'm realizing now the engine room over here isn't that great. I can't actually figure out a way to work it in conjunction with scouting so there's no way of knowing whether the next crisis card would have had a jump icon anyway.

Perhaps I should move to CIC.

Aha, of course, I forgot! For the future then, I am prepared to Launch some Scouts.

I move to Weapons Control and fire on the stupid basestar. EAT LEAD, METALHEADS!

You know what, I was thinking of the fact that if the deck gets reshuffled, crisises that got buried due to Scouting get brought back into the mix. Somehow I conflated that with the discard pile. My mistake.
