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

BSG

I just need to confirm Dee's orders before wrapping up this check.

Destiny: 2 cards
Ellen: 1 card
Helo: 1 card
Roslin: 0 cards
Gaeta: 1 card
Starbuck: 0 cards
Dee: 1 card

The crew appears divided on the question of whether Dee should be freed. Will the efforts of Ellen, Gaeta and Dee be enough? Cards:

Support the People 2
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Guts and Initiative 2
Critical Situation 5
At Any Cost 3
Evasive Maneouvre 1
Maximum Firepower 4

Tally: 13 - 8 = 5. Fail! So close. Perhaps there's a way out, if it's an emergency. It could be an emergency. Do any of the crew think so? Everyone, please pass or play on DEs.

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

BSG

Ugh this sucks. I wish the cards were more conclusive. I'm still not sure you're human, Dee, and with a hand full of low cards I just can't risk using up a high one to spring a possible toaster. I pass on playing a DE.

Our wings are not tired

BSG

Gah, yeah, I'm human and just trying to help. It's really hard to tell from those cards how it fell. There are only three negative cards in there and two of them could have come from Destiny.

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

BSG

Argh. Fine. DE-3 to free Dee. Don't make me regret this.

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

BSG

Oh, Dee still gets a movement and an action, doesn't she? This is exciting!

waits with bated lack of breath

BSG

Do I get movement and action, or just a movement? If I get both I'll move to the Research Lab and draw a blue card.

If I only get a movement I think it would be best to move to Comms so that I can be in position in case we get jumped by toasters and I need to deal with the civvies.

Any opinions?

Ah, I checked the rules, and you just get to move. That is part of your debriggening Action.

I agree with moving to comms.
