(note that the real Cain would have ordered the jump already)
If we jump early we lose two civvies for sure. What are the chances we won't lose the equivalent if we try to make it through the jump cycle? Any strong objections to me ordering the FTL operator to get us the hell out of here right now?
BSG
Yeah, you know what, it's a risk, but a calculated one. The skies are pretty frakking full, and probably Boomer will fill them again once we're underway, but I think it's our best option right now. Anything I can do is only in the pew pew range, especially with the daggone card shortages that have been in effect this whole time. Ideally a jump would give us a little breathing space and some time to lick our wounds. Of course, the way things have been going, the blind jump means that it could work out badly for us instead, but hey.
I say go for it.
BSG
On the next Raider activation, we lose Civvie E. The one after that, Civvie A. Maybe if someone Comms those two into Sector 5 so Anders and the RSVs can protect them, we stand a chance.
BSG
I could move those civvies... I'm going to wait for my card draw- if I get a critical situation I could also launch a scout... or a nuke.
BSG
Cards sent. Admiral, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG
Lieutenant, Jump us out of here!
But sir, the entire fleet doesn't have the coordinates. Some of those civilian ships will be lost in space!
Are you questioning my orders? Why don't you go have a lie down in the brig while the airlock is being repaired? Ensign...
Activating FTL drive, sir!
I'm using my OPG to get us the frak out of here.
BSG
holds on tight
BSG
Admiral, you can also post whether you wish to move anywhere (else).
Meanwhile, the fleet jumps! Blindly, randomly and awesomely. Two ships are left behind to cover your retreat:
Civvie H:
1 Population
Civvie I:
2 Population
However, their entirely involuntary sacrifice has bought you a sweet ride. Per the house rules for Cain, your jump lands you at the second Destination from the top of the deck, and it is:
Desolate Moon
3 Distance
You know what that means: Sleeper Phase! Crew of Galactica, please tune the tiny receivers embedded in your fillings to radio station TSTR, and see if you pick up anything more than static. New Loyalty cards going out.
BSG
Civvie I: 2 Population
Ouch!
3 Distance
Nice!
You know what that means: Sleeper Phase!
Time to throw Boomer in the Bri—DAMMIT.
BSG
Loyalty cards have been shuffled and dealt out. We will pause before revealing the Crisis, for two decisions:
1. Admiral Cain may choose to move if she wishes. Admiral, when you're ready, please post your decision.
2. Per Pegasus rules, Boomer (who has just received two new loyalty cards) immediately passes them off to the player of her choice. Boomer, when you're ready, please advise us of the lucky recipient.
