Won't you all make her feel vaguely distrusted and possibly a little skanky?
Business as usual, then.
billytea, my Super Crisis Card says that if I play it, Galactica explodes into a million pieces and I automatically win. Am I hallucinating? I knew sitting next to Roslin was bad for my health.
BSG
definitely don't take any of Roslin's "special" aspirin.
BSG
I am sure you do not mistrust my impeccable hair. And any doubt you have as to my veracity is only because you are so cowed by my obvious although ever so slightly past my prime beauty.

Alright, scouting time. Come on Lords of Kobol, give us a good destination.
Action 1A: Activate the Hanger Deck to launch into Sector 5. (I realize we're jumping soon, but it's effectively a free action at this point and it never hurts to have a viper in space.)
Action 1B: Play a LS1 on Destination Deck
Action 2 will depend on the results of Action 1.
Has cylon technology reprogrammed my brain? I don't remember this in the game I played or ran (the last two).
I take that back. I don't recall much of an issue during the game you ran, but there was some grousing in the previous game.
I know what it's like for everyone to think you're a cylon when you're not (and I'm about to find out again) but I really don't understand what happened with StuntHusband.
I don't know him, so this would be complete speculation, but my guess would be that he felt like he was saving the day (ie using his OPG to steal the Admiralship from the suspected Cylon and doubling our distance travelled) only to find everyone turn on him. Which I admit, has to feel pretty sucky.
Honestly, when I got BTs email, my thought was "Wow, that's a risky gamble, but it might pay off. 3 fuel to do 2 distance is definitely managable with a little luck." Then I came into the thread and discovered we only had 2 fuel and we'd need a lot of luck to limp our way to Kobol. Which led me to the conclusion Ellen had purposely tanked our fuel supply because she was a Cylon. Accusations and desire to airlock then followed, which in retrospect were probably worded more harshly than they needed to be.
BSG
I have no offers to play an SP.
Die roll = 8. Success! Prepare to receive a Destination.
BSG
It's not ideal, but beggars can't be choosers. We'll leave it on top.
For my second action, I'll play another LS1 and scout the Crisis Deck.
BSG
Second scouting mission:
Die roll = 6. Success!
Crisis Card being sent out.
BSG
Okay. Bury that sucker.
Admiral Gaeta, I'd recommend activating FTL on your turn. It will risk us population, but we've got a shot at getting to Kobol on our remaining reserves and I don't want to risk any Toastery-types getting a shot at the Destination deck before we can Auto-jump.
BSG
Crisis buried. I'd tell you all what Roslin's replacement Crisis is, but the simple truth is that I don't know. I think we're going to have to hear from the President herself.
