Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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.

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

BSG

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.

We need Tom Cruise to take care of this for us. He knows psychology.

Failing that, I can support Option 2. I can also support the Pradmiral flipping a coin. Yay for me not having to decide!

I'm heading out so I'll go ahead and Choose Option 2. May the gods be with us.

The gods will have to be, since Destiny won't be.

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

BSG

The old Destiny is discarded (here's what was in it):

Consolidate Power 1
Repair 1
At Any Cost 4
Maximum Firepower 5
Calculations 3
Broadcast Location 1

In rebuilding the Destiny Deck, the Treachery deck was exhausted. I've reshuffled the discards.

I'm sending out Roslin's cards now. Ex-President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Does the Destiny deck include discarded cards?
