Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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

BSG

Well, I am glad these are not those circumstances.

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

BSG

Starbuck, you're promoted. Don't let the strain get to you.

Starbuck is now the Admiral. Both nukes have been fired, but you will still be in charge of jump destinations and and Admiral's Choice Crisis Cards.

Heh. I was just writing up this long post about Roslin's Crisis Card, and then I realised, I'd forgotten her Visions. Ms Roslin, I'm sending you your choice of Crisis Card. When you're ready, please post your choice.

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

So now I'm just the president? weird.

You still have your OPG, you can be Admiral again whenever you want! (In fact, you're the only player who still has their OPG.)

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

BSG

These frakking visions get worse and worse. I think I need to doublecheck my prescriptions for nasty interactions.

Believe it or not, our best hope is with a Weapons Malfunction.

I can't help with the check, so I'll be hiding under the heaviest furniture I can find just as soon as I convene a committee to investigate this whole mess. Because committees always help.

Roslin has played an Investigative Committee, and as Blue is already positive, that just leaves the Reckless interrupts. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Gaeta will play first, Roslin last. You will be able to see what everyone before you has played, so you can make your play dependent on the current total by your turn.

I'm sorry, I can't help at all with this check.

Pass.

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

Wow. This is not good. I can help a lot with the check, but I was sort of counting on those cards to use against the bajillion raiders currently swarming us.

Does anyone else have anything they can use to help in this check? We know Destiny is going to be against us, plus both Cylons. I'd say we'd need to hit a minimum of 21 to pass. (Assuming Destiny averages out to 4 Treachery, and the Cylon plays average out to 3 a piece.)

I have passes on interrupts from all players, and orders from Gaeta. Starbuck is up next.

Destiny: 2 cards
Gaeta: 0 cards
Starbuck:
Dee:
Ellen: COs received
Helo: COs received
Roslin: COs received

In response to Starbuck's question, Roslin's previous comment about this check was:
