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

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.

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

BSG

Your scouting is unnecessary with the power of my Religious Visions guiding us.

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!

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

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

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.

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

BSG

I have COs to pass on interrupts from all players.

Die roll = 7. Hit! And your damage is... Disabled Hangar. No raiders for you!

Time for a Crisis, and it's ladies' choice here at Club Toast. President Roslin, I'm sending you your visions. When you're ready, please post your choice.

Sweet! Smooth sailing from here on out. I'm going to make rude gestures out the porthole.

BSG

Well, people of Galactica, we've had a remarkably suspicion-free time of it thus far, but the fates decree that it's time for some Cylon Screenings! Option 1, to be precise.

My forward-looking policies enacted just a little while ago should allow us to tank this skill-check safely, and I suggest we do just that.

That worked out well. Nicely done, Madame President. Pity there's no jump advance.

Pass on interrupts.

Yeah, that would have been nice. The gods are not so generous as all that, alas.
