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

I don't see why. I thought you were omnipotent.

That's why I take power naps.

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

So I guess we're tanking?

2 Cards.

FInal play:

Tally: 0 - 17 = -17. Fail! Looks like the Admiral's information campaign of "THEY LOOK JUST LIKE US NOW! THEY COULD BE ANYONE!", "DEE TRICKED US ALL AND NOW HALF OF HUMANITY IS DEAD", "MY LEG, MY LEG" and of course "THERE ARE MONSTERS IN THE TOILET, JUST WAITING FOR YOU TO TURN YOUR BACK" wasn't as reassuring as he'd hoped. The fleet loses 2 Morale.

Next, the raiders activate. There are 5 of them in Sector 6, who open fire on the RSVs and Starbuck:

Raider 1 = 3. Miss.
Raider 2 = 5. Viper damaged!
Raider 3 = 7. Viper damaged!
Raider 4 = 5. Viper damaged!
Starbuck stands alone.
Raider 5 = 2. Miss.

The raiders from Sectors 2 and 3 advance to sectors 1 and 4 respectively.

In happier news, Ellen's turn ends with the jump prep track advancing. For his turn, Helo has opted to draw Piloting, Engineering and Treachery. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

Now you will all feel the wrath of AGATRON! Unlike my compatriot, I attack with the mind, not with the metal. Please enjoy my Super Crisis: Psychological Warfare.

BSG

First his reveal, and now this. AGATRON is just all about the Treachery, isn't he? Helo has played Psychological Warfare. President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your choice. Everyone else can send me COs for if she chooses the discard option.

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

BSG

I believe this is actually Pradmiral Gaeta's decision.

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

BSG

What if I don't want to be president anymore? /whine

Option 2 seems slightly less bad but I'll pause for other human input.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

I think I agree with that. The revealed Cylons are going to get cards either way, we just tossed our Treachery cards, and we just took a Morale hit.

I do love when the humans have to make a decision between "bad" and "slightly less bad." But which is which? YOUR PSYCHOLOGY IS AT WAR.
