I have passes from the other players. With Galactica's defences breached and the civilians now defenceless against anendless onslaught of Cylon raiders, Ellen presses the big red button. However, all communications with the civilian ships has been jammed; will the FTL coordinates get through?
Die roll = 1. Fail!
But Gaeta uses his reroll:
Die roll = 3. Fail.
One can only imagine what went through the minds of those humans left behind, as in the midst of a communications blackout they watched Galactica and Pegasus jump away.
Technically, a Population loss doesn't occur until turn end; however, your choice of Destinations and the Crisis Card won't afford any chance to raise Population again.
Population drops to 0
Cylons Win!
Congratulations to team Cylon, commiserations to the humans - what's left of them - and a big thank you to all the players. I've had a great time running the first flight of the Pegasus on the Phoenix board, thanks in large part to everyone's enthusiasm. I hope you've all enjoyed playing it too.

AGATRON IS OVERCOME WITH FILTHY HUMAN EMOTION.
BSG
Aww!
Well, I thought that was how it was going to end up, one way or another. Well played, robotic overlords!
BSG
Congrats, toasters! I'm kind of pleased that we managed to doom humanity on our own big gamble there at the end.
I generally like the extra Pegasus stuff, but, man that is a lot of possibilities to try to keep in mind at any given time.
BSG
I think Dee did most of the work on this one, and I'm curious whether she was a Sleeper or a Cylon from the start, like I was.
I gave you Scar and then I blew him up. I still feel bad about that. Poor Scar.
BSG
Right? Go out on your own terms, right?
BSG
Something like that.
That was some pretty smooth fifth-column double-agent stuff, P-C. If I hadn't seen your loyalty card I wouldn't have suspected you at all.
BSG
And if you hadn't played that damn Preventative Policy, you may not have been willing to tank the check to look!
(But it's funny that you didn't suspect me because I thought I was acting crazy suspicious. I was trying to figure out if I had a Cylon partner and the only person who seemed suspicious was ME. Like that time I deliberately went out against Scar in an attempt to FAIL and...failed at failing, rather than XOing Starbuck.)
I don't think I got to a spike a single check while I was hidden. So annoying, you humans and your ICs. And then I accidentally let myself get too many cards and had to discard the Treachery I wanted to keep. I had to pretend to be a good human because I hardly had any good chances to do any real sabotage without getting caught!
BSG
ICs are really powerful. I was annoyed that I finally drew an IC after two games worth of drawing that color but never seeing that card, only to have it be the last draw of the game!
I did suspect you, P-C!
And then at the next level, I suspected Dee and Gaeta! I love the suspicion phase. It's such an interesting element to the game.
That was very fun and exciting to follow (as usual!)
