In addition, as a suspicious Cain leans over the control panel, she is taken by surprise as a boxing glove on a spring bursts out and catches her right in the face! The face, I say!
Not in the FACE! Sorry we weren't able to warn you about that, Cain. (At least we didn't have any Reckless consequences.)
Shall I launch a nuke in Sector 2? Or Sector 3? Is it possible the civvie can escape nuclear devastation?
Can a nuke hit civvies? I think that's Exodus rules.
I'm planning to move to Command but I will wait a moment to see if anyone has a better idea.
It seems like a fine idea unless you go around saying, "By your Command!"
BSG
So if I'm looking at the cards correctly we had one player other than Boomer spike the check.

Correct, your civvies are safe from nuclear conflagration. Apparently nuclear missiles are higher-precision weaponry than Pegasus' guns. Using the Cylon Fleet option in Pegasus gives you nukes that can destroy Colonial ships too.

That's enough dithering. I
move
to Command and
launch a nuke
into Sector 3.

The Treachery had to come from Boomer because none of us have a Treachery card, but the other negative card is Leadership, and we all draw Leadership. I have a Cylon Detector but don't know who to detect. I suppose I have a one in three chance of getting it right if I just pick one of you at random.

How's that? Cylons don't get nukes.

Cylons get nuked!
BSG
I wish I had an SP. Anyone?
BSG

No, the Admiral's nukes have a chance of destroying civilian ships. Though Cylons can get nukes, specifically "Inbound Nukes".
Anyway, I have COs and everyone passes on SPs. The Admiral is undaunted and fires anyway!
Die roll = 8!
Admirals don't need no steenkin' SPs! Basestar and 3 raiders are destroyed, and Christmas is saved!
However! Firing a nuke into a sector with a civilian ship sees Cain facing charges of reckless endangerment. Her cries of "No, they never hit civvies! See, I rolled an 8!" go unheeded as someone, somewhere, declares:
Code Blue
Current Player's Choice
Admiral, when you're ready, please post your choice.
Edit: sorry Anders, I jumped the gun there. Your orders did come in before I rolled, so I'll apply your SP to the nukage. Result becomes 10, which still visits fiery destruction upon the Cylons.
