Well at least we got 3 taken out. It was the best possible outcome of firing the main batteries.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Yeah, good shootin', Tex. Is the admiral still counting up points for the Pegasus, even though she's not on it anymore? 'Cause even banged up, the Pegasus is winning.
What next? I could take to the skies, although it would take a little maneuvering to get shooting. Or I could XO you to take some more potshots; still got targets out there. I could do the same with Cain, but won't for safety.

I'm happy to take more shots. It's on the risky side unless someone can modify the dice roll since low rolls result in friendly fire issues.

But you're Samuel T. Anders! The T. is for "The Human Shield"!

Yeah, maybe we got lucky enough with that last batch. That sure is a lot of civvies floating around out there.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

While this is true, I must caution you that civvies are not to be used as a flotation device. Unless it's funny.

Okay, I'm making my play as CO's because I need to make sure I can do what I'm trying to do.

Is your play some sort of Rube Goldbergian sequence of moves and actions whereby you shoot a Raider who bumps into a Heavy Raider who tips napalm onto a basestar that spins around a civvie and collides into another basestar and explodes?

Yes! And there might be a turkey in an oven involved. Oh, no wait, that was that one Mythbusters episode.

Well, Anders' orders are all legal, with the exception of the bit about the turkey. I'm not even sure if that's legal in your state. Here are the orders:
Move: Play Critical Situation - 5 to gain a bonus action
Bonus action: Launch in a viper into Sector 6
Launch bonus: Move to Sector 1
Action: Fire on a raider
And his attack manages:
Die roll: 5. Hit! One raider destroyed.
Just one? That seems to be on the low side. Last turn he took out three of them. Perhaps something's wrong with his viper. Anders' Crisis is:
Weapon Malfunction
Skill Check (11 PRB)
No need for an SR, as Blue is already positive. Possible interrupts are IC and Reckless interrupts. Everyone, please pass or play. You can send me COs for the check itself too.
