Our wings are not tired

BSG

Yeah, at least your bunk doesn't share a wall with their cabin.

Also, I play a Strategic Planning 3

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

BSG

We have an SP on the jump. Let's see how it goes:

Die roll = 2 + 2 = 4. Fail!

Gaeta, do you want to use your reroll?

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

OOC: can the re-roll ALSO be SP'd?

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

BSG

I think the already played SP still applies to the re-roll, but I'm not positive.

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

That is correct. The new roll uses all the modifiers on the old roll. And the new roll is:

Die roll = 4 + 2 = 6. Fail! I have COs - everyone passes on Calculations. The result stands - 1 Population is lost.

I also have COs from the Fauxdmiral. Your new destination is:

Lion's Head Nebula

Hoo boy, this is a big one. And... is that music you hear? You have now reached the Sleeper phase - new Loyalty cards going out. Once that's done, we'll see what Crisis Ellen's stunt may have provoked.

So we're two jumps away from Kobol (New Caprica? Where are we going again?) with three fuel, is that right?

Apologies, I made a mistake on the destination details I sent out. Not on the card itself, but I forgot you lost 1 Fuel last turn. Fuel drops from 6 to 2.

Meanwhile, who'd have thought that usurping military command and causing the deaths of thousands could get you arrested? What a bunch of buzzkills, am I right? Ellen's Crisis is:

Defending a Prisoner
Skill Check (11 YG)

The usual interrupts are in contention. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself.

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

BSG

Holy crap! Where's Scar? Bring back Scar. We can steal his fuel.

I don't get my Admiral's bars back yet, right? So Ellen could be a Cylon now, for all we know. WE COULD ALL BE CYLONS. Well, not all of us. Are we all Schroedinger's Cylons?

Your destination is still Kobol (New Caprica makes things more complicated). You have 2 Distance left to reach 8, so you have at least two jumps remaining. It could be three jumps, if the next jump is only 1 Distance. As noted above, I made an error with the Fuel, and you actually have just 2 left.
