No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

There's a loyalty test for you: whichever refuses to pull the trigger, brig 'em. Or that shiny new Pegasus has a more...permanent...solution.

So who is in favor or starting brigging procedures on one or both of our compatriots? Or should we just go directly to airlock?

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

BSG

We could airlock them both, the human will be reincarnated and the cylon will be off the ship. Unfortunately, it will be very expensive.

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

Gaeta fires upon the basestar:

Die roll = 3 + 2 = 5. Hit (once)! And the damage is: Critical Hit - basestar destroyed!

I have COs from Gaeta: Play Major Victory - 2. We now have a die roll to increase Morale, which may be modified by an SP. Everyone (who draws Purple), please pass or play. After the roll, it may also be modified by a Calculations. Everyone with Blue can send me COs.

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

BSG

I, of course, think we should brig Helo and if it makes you all feel more secure to have me behind bars as well (separately from the toaster, I hope), I can make that sacrifice. It would limit my usefulness, of course, but not too badly.

I forgot about the Airlock option. Airlocking me would only serve to decrease the Morale I have worked so hard to preserve. Airlocking Helo, would that be better than brigging him? I'm not sure.

Eta: well played, Mr. Gaeta!

Pass on interrupts (I would help if I could but I can't so I won't).

I have COs from everyone else to pass on SPs.

Die roll = 4. Ooh, just too low. This is in range of some Calculations. Would anyone like to play a Calcs to bring it into pass range?

I will play a calcs. I know I have one but not the value.

Dee playc a Calcs - 4 to save Gaeta's come as you are "I Nuked A Basestar And All I Got Were These Lousy Suspicions Of The Fleet's Leadership" party. Morale increases by 1!

Look at that, Gaeta's a hero. It really doesn't seem fair, does it, that he should face a:

Cylon Accusation
Skill Check (10 YGP)

Looking for interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself (Starbuck will start off, Gaeta will finish it).
