Ficlet: You Have Died of Dysentery

[bibliodragon]

This started from the thought that Daybreak only happened because the Twelve Colonies never played Oregon Trail. Which of course made it a small leap to the Grade School Galactica 'verse.

Oh how Billy Adama hated computer time with Laurie Roslin.

“You can’t even buy 1600 worth of bullets! What about food?”

“Hunting.”

“Hunting takes too long. And stop shooting at everything, you can only carry 100 pounds.”

“Games wrong, I could carry more than that in real life.”

“Stop fording rivers! Great, you’ve lost half the party.”

“Kept breaking legs, anyway.”

“The wagon wouldn‘t break so much if you‘d slow the pace.”

“Stop distracting me! Great, now I’m dead.”

“Billy Adama, if I ever had to do this with you for real, I better be dead before the wagons loaded!”

Amazon trail was the bane of my childhood existence, but it was a thousand times less frustrating than Oregon trail.

Loved it because I also hated computer time

Heh, I was just too old to really get the benefits of the computer age during Primary School, all my memories are of playing frustrating turn based games on an old BBC computer in the corner, and we were always forced to share. It was a joyous day indeed when we got our first class Apple Mac, during my last year there. But I suppose it did mean Computing in Secondary was better.
