Ok, that's long enough for interrupts. Everyone passes, and we can start the check. I have some COs:

Destiny: 2 cards
Cain: 2 cards
Baltar: 2 cards
Boomer: 2 cards
Cally:
Anders: COs received

Cally is next. Cally, you may play no cards, or at least 2 cards.

BSG

I'm going to cross my fingers that we've got this check, I think the two cards that I can play would be overkill and I can't play just one of them.

I play no cards

BSG

Finally, Anders plays one card. Result:

Consolidate Power 2
Consolidate Power 2
Investigative Committee 3
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 4
Declare Emergency 5
Maximum Firepower 5
Repair 1

Tally: 20 - 6 = 14. Pass! The unsettlilng stories are quashed by the testimony of a surprise witness: the insects of the Amazon basin! Morale is saved!

Now we get the good stuff: shooting at you people. The raiders in Sector 1 move to Sector 6, that's easy enough. The raiders in Sector 4 open fire on Boomer!

Raider 1: 6. Viper damaged! But Boomer plays an EM-1.
Raider 1a: 3 - 2 = 1. Miss.
Raider 2: 4. Miss.
Raider 3: 8. Viper destroyed! Now it's Anders' turn to play an EM-1.
Raider 3a: 7 - 2 = 5. Viper damaged! Anders saves Boomer's bacon with another EM-1.
Raider 3b: 7 - 2 = 5. Viper damaged!

Alas, no more help is forthcoming. Boomer lands in Sickbay, and the final raider advances to Sector 5.

Finally, your jump prep advances. That concludes Anders' turn. Cain has opted to draw Leadership for her optional draw. Cain, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: Cain's draw exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

BSG

Yeeps. Cain, could you XO Boomer out of Sickbay to Comms that civvie out of the way?? I shouldn't XO her if you can't, but I'd be tempted to if I could so she doesn't lose her card draw.

BSG

Frak! I didn't draw an XO or an SP.

I'm thinking I should move to Main Batteries and hoping someone else has an SP but I'm going to pause for a moment in case someone else has a better idea.

BSG

Still woozy from that whole getting the viper shot up, ejecting, getting rescued from space and landing in Sickbay adventure. Doc Cottle is pretty free with the morphine under these circumstances, y'all! My point being, sorry if I am not picking up on the obvious, but what is your plan that could use Strategery Plannification, Admiral?

BSG

I don't have an SP. If we did, we could up the odds of success of either CIC or Main Batteries, I assume that's what the Admiral is thinking.

sotto voice: I think because she's still pissy about our numbers, Boom, with you in sickbay maybe she figures she can get the advantage on our ships.

However, without an XO, either of those actions is probably still advisable even if we don't have an SP. We'll have to, as it were, roll the dice.

full voice: But, you know, Admiral, basestars still count 3, ahem, so you might want to go for that from where you are. Or maybe you're hoping for 4 raiders, that would be 4 points. Hm.

The basestar's already got one damage, right, so if we got really lucky, we could take it out. Or are you not wanting to risk the damage to Pegasus since it's already taken a hit?

BSG

Right now, the Raiders are more of a risk because if they activate, we lose the civvie. We at least know the basestar can't release any more; it can just shoot at us.

This lack of SPs does not bode well for my turn. Will I ever get to raise a resource? Damn you, Cylons!

BSG

Main Batteries are damaged, yes? They'd need to be repaired before being fired?

::softly weeps at the realization that I did not get a chance to even fire on those gods-damned Raiders before ol' Bessie got shot out from under me, denying me the chance to raise my score ::

She was a good viper, I hope they're taking good care of her over in the Hangar Deck.
