Galactica has the potential to be damaged in ways that can't be repaired, which I don't think Pegasus has.
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.
BSG
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.
BSG
Nice shooting, Admiral
Thank-you very much, President Baltar. I feel like celebrating with a feast. (iow, I think we should go for the food loss)
BSG
Then I choose Option 2.
As I wait for my turn to start, I need to ask my constituency whether they can help SP a potential Morale boost and/or help get Anders out of Sickbay before his turn because I really think I should use my turn to help with Morale, if we have another SP and possibly even a Calculations around. We're going to keep losing Morale, so let's stay as high as we can.
