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

BSG

Blue card is on its way! Let's see what went unscouted:

Rescue Mission (A)
Admiral's Choice

Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG

Well, those are still both shitty choices, and Morale and Fuel are at the same level. Could someone XO Dee out of the sickbay before her turn? Or do we just toss the Raptor? We're about to jump and expend Fuel. But our Morale keeps falling! And it's apt to continue falling because it comes up a lot. And by comes up I mean comes down. We haven't even used that Raptor. Poor Raptor.

I don't know. What say you all?

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 agree. Either choice sucks. Normally I'd say lose Morale before Fuel, but this game has been Morale-hungry so far and we're doing pretty good distance-wise for where our Fuel is that. The loss of the raptor could hurt, though.

I'm okay with either choice at the moment.

I'll choose Option 2. Sorry, Susan.

Fuel and raptor disappear into the ether. The jump track also advances by 1.

That concludes Dee's turn. Ellen's cards are going out. Ellen, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG

Seriously, guys, don't let Admiral Toaster pick the destination again. Ellen, if you want to be President for a turn, there's quorum card that could help with that.

Or just brig him already.

There is also the issue that if morale drops too low I will kill myself.

The good news is that unlike other deaths, apparently that doesn't make anyone any sadder. See, they say they're your friends, but...
