Our wings are not tired

I'm curious to hear Ellen's line of reasoning. I've not made up my mind yet.

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

Meanwhile, I've received passes on interrupts from all players. Let's start this check! Some people have sent in COs, but given the current dicussion, I'll get everyone to confirm their orders again before applying them. I've already received said confirmation from Helo, who starts the check:

Destiny: 2 cards
Helo: 4 cards
Roslin:
Gaeta:
Starbuck:
Dee:
Ellen:

President Roslin is up next.

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

BSG

Eh, go ahead with my COs, GM.

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

Amazing how you all assume that I'm against you, or an idiot - considering you have no idea what the OTHER card was. Or bothered asking my motivation for what I did.

It's tough to tell sometimes, so if I have offended you, the player, Stunthusband, I apologize.

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

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

BSG

We're moving at a bracing pace here.

And I'm about to leave for an hour or two.

Bye, Ellen, we hardly knew ye, in case you're not here when I return.

...Hi, Ellen, we, um, totally trust you, in case you are.

Tally: 38 - 8 = 30. I think you just might have squeaked that one in. The crew rushes to defend Ellen Tigh's honour! Even Ellen, which is a first. You really deserve something more than 'no effect'. Tell you what, here's a shiny button. You can take turns holding it or something.

There's also a heavy raider activation, which does nothing, and a jump icon. That concludes the short reign of Admiral Eccentrica Gallumbits. Helo retrieves his bars and prepares for his turn. Admiral Agathon, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
