Our wings are not tired

BSG

I'd like to do a check to get out of the brig. Anyone willing to help with that? If we get jumped by the cylons again my abilitiy to deal with the civvies is good to have.

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

BSG

yerg! Why couldn't we have gotten that crisis just before jumping?

aw crap. I was thinking I could help a lot with the debriggenation but I'd forgotten I used my Strategic Planning to secure us more fuel. I can only help a little.

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

Well, crap. I guess the idea is try to cripple the basetstar without destroying it. This is going to be a long slugfest until we can jump again.

Before we start Dee's turn, I'm tempted to use my OPG to bury the crisis and get a different one, but I think we might be better served hanging onto that in case we get a crisis that threatens fuel. What do the rest of you think?

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

BSG

Hey, you're the one who hit up the Engine Room. I'm washing my hands of it.

We'll hold off on the brig check until Starbuck makes a decision on her OPG. Meanwhile, everyone can send me COs for interrupts and card play on Dee's escape attempt.

On further reflection, I am going to use my OPG here. Going a full jump track without being able to destroy any basestars without losing a raptor and morale is going to be incredibly difficult, especially if we get further attack cards on top of this one.

New Crisis, please, Mr. GM.

I approve of your decision, Starbuck.

You know how monkeys have a cry that means "Eagle" and a cry that means "Jaguar" and another cry that means "EagleJaguarGetTheFuckOutOfHere"?

EagleJaguar, man.

Eta: whew.

The hybrid in charge of that basestar: [link]

The Cylon ships take note of Starbuck viper wobbling in a threatening manner and jump away; but not before creating a power surge within the fleet. Your new Crisis is:

Jump Computer Failure
Skill Check (7 PB)

Ok, some reset notes. First and foremost, Dee, you don't have those new cards yet. Pretend you never saw them. Next up, this is a skill check, so everyone, you know the drill.

1. Interrupts. You haz them, I wants your orders. ICs and Reckless checks.

2. You can CO me your orders for the check too. Dee will start the check, Starbuck will finish it.

I can help a little with the check, but I can't help but wonder if we want to tank it. Population is our highest resource and the loss of jump prep isn't going to hurt us at the moment.

I can't help at all, so I don't know that I have an opinion on to tank or not...
