Any thoughts on the Pegasus/Galactica question? I'm leaning Pegasus, but I don't have any particular reason for it, other than, I think our potential targets on Galactica are important. Especially since we are, once again, Chiefless. Where did that guy get to? Cally? Boomer? Who's seen him last?
I'm getting an idea a promo here.
"First, she took Boomer's man."
t Cut to Chief and Boomer engaged in smoochies
t Cut to shot of Chief Tyrol and Pregnant!Cally
"Then, she took Cain's gun."
t Cut to Cain telling her XO, "Give me your sidearm"
"Now, time is running out."
t Cut to a clock with "33" on a post-it
"Will she find Boomer..."
t Cut to Cally lunging at arrested!Boomer
"Before Jack Bauer Tory finds her?"
t cut to Tory knocking Cally across the Airlock
t fade out
Next week on CSI: BSG.

No way I am admitting to seeing Chief in front of Cally even if I did know where he was. Which I don't. Though I could repair something if need be, but that has nothing to do with having spent time with Galen. Chief. Mr. Tyrol.
Galactica has the potential to be damaged in ways that can't be repaired, which I don't think Pegasus has. But Cain getting sent to Sickbay would be a drag. But the odds of that happening are pretty low. I don't know. Maybe the basestar will just miss and it won't matter.

Oh, you're right! I forgot about the possible Fuel loss. That would be bad. So yeah, still looking like
Pegasus
should take the hit, if there is one.
BSG
I agree, it's too early in this game to be losing raptors. I'll
choose Option #1.
But note that this does not mean I endorse cyborg-human
hybrids. I don't wanna go to sickbay either but I do think Pegasus makes a good target.

The Admiral orders an end to Baltar's experiments, despite his protests that the end result would be "half-Cylons at best!" This stifling of the spirit of scientific discovery causes Morale to fall.
Apparently the Cylons are disappointed too. They fire!
Die roll = 1. Miss.
On the plus side, the battlestars are undamaged. However, it means Anders loses his chance for company in Sickbay. Finally, the jump track advances. This concludes Anders' turn. Cain's cards are going out. Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
Edit: oh wait, I forgot. Admiral, you have an optional card draw. Would you like an extra Leadership or an extra Tactics?

Extra Tactics, please.
BSG
I'm going to hope someone else can get Anders out of sickbay before his turn comes up again. My priority is the basestar. I'm going to
Activate CIC
and fire on that puppy.
BSG
By CO, Cain plays an SP-3 on the attack.
Die roll = 6 + 2 = 8.
Basestar damaged twice!
Result:
Structural Damage
Critical Hit!
Basestar destroyed!
A powerhouse performance there. A pity the Admiral pays less attention to events within the civilian fleet. Her supply chain is under threat!
Food Hoarding in the Fleet
President's Choice
President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
Well, frak. I don't want to take another Morale hit! And chance losing something else as well. I'm going to guess we're lower on SP's and Calculations than we usually would be, even though 3 or less isn't that dangerous. I think Food tends to come up less, whereas Morale is going to come up over and over. Also, my turn is coming up, and I'm going to have to choose between trying to raise Morale and getting Anders out of Sickbay. What say you, humble voters?
P.S. Nice shooting, Admiral.
