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

I'm going to not move so that I'm in position by the Main Batteries to take a few shots if that seems prudent.

Pegasus' Main Batteries are many things, but 'prudent' is not one I'd considered before.

Maybe Anders is a SURPRISE THIRD CYLON!

Oh! And, of course, the President has lost no time in bossing the Bro-dmiral around. Bro-dmiral Anders, you currently share your airspace with two raiders. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, so while I was looking at the board to figure out which sector to nuke (bad that we have the choice: basestar with 2 raiders for collateral damage imperiling the civvie, or basestar with 7 raiders, 3 of which could be up for collateral damage) I realized that with the nuke being our last...

Well, should I wait until my turn, when I could use my OPG to decide the dice roll, to use the nuke? Unfortunately that would leave the civvie exposed this turn, as I could probably only shoot at the two raiders in my space. I'm sorry, I should have thought of this before the XO. What do you guys think?

Your nuke will not harm the civvie, I don't think.

I mean, the raiders were imperiling the civvie. Dang runon sentences.

Dang runon sentences will also not harm the civvie.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

Low as we are on resources, perhaps it is wiser to wait and use the nuke with your OPG.

Ah, I see. Well, if you wait, maybe the Raiders will activate and destroy that civvie for you, making your choice that much easier. Won't that be nice?

Okay, I do not move.

Action 1: I play my Star Player ability to exchange my two brown cards for red.
Action 2: I shoot at the first Raider I see.
