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.
Main Batteries are damaged, yes?
ah Frak, I forgot. All I can do is fire on the base star... or would it be worth it for me to move over to Galactica and activate comms?
BSG
Ooh, yeah, I forgot about where the damage was.
BSG
Comms, then. It's the only way to ensure safety right now.
BSG
OK I discard LS-1 to move to Galactica Communications.
Hailing civilian ship Alpha, respond with your manifest and passenger list.... Hailing civilian ship Charlie, manifest and passenger list, please.
BSG
Ships' manifests sent. Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your orders for the civilian ships.
