brilliant!
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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

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

A cunning plan indeed, but it is not without its risks. Because Anders has just discarded Treachery (BL-1 and BYC-1), he has left Galactica (or is it Pegasus?) open to Sabotage. Will either of the Cylons play a Sabotage? If they do, it is Cally's choice (as current player) as to which ship gets hit. Cally, you can send me COs to damage either Galactica or Pegasus (if a Sabotage is played).

OH SNAP TAKE DOWN PEGASUS !!
Oh darn, Cally gets to choose. Boo-urns.
HIT GALACTICA AND BLOW UP THE BRIG AND LOSE SOME FOOD.

The Brig is not on the list of sanctioned Galactica targets. Not that there's anyone in any of the possible targets. Come to that, who's running Galactica at the moment? Is Cain just shouting orders from her cell and hoping someone hears?

I'm shouting orders but since I've been stripped of my admiralty nobody's listening.

The centurions in the boarding party are listening. They like orders.

Cally shows firm leadership by choosing the ship she isn't on. Command is damaged.
Just as well you have an ace pilot (of sorts) doing patrol duty. Anders' second action is to fire at a raider:
Die roll = 3. Hit! (Just.)
Where does that put Galactica and Pegasus? I've lost count. Cain's rejoinder is a compelling one based on the bedrock principles of military protocol, i.e. "Pics or it didn't happen."
It's, um, probably just as well that you didn't nuke that basestar. Looks like that raider was booby trapped. Cally's Crisis is:
Besieged
Cylon Attack
The good news, such as it is, is that we're out of basestars. Civvies too. They don't get added. Unfortunately, we're also out of vipers. It's a matter of perspective whether it's good news we're not yet out of raiders.
Anyway, the first occurrence is that the existing raiders activate. It doesn't matter which ones go first, so let's go in ascending order. The remaining raider in Sector 1 fires on Anders:
Raider 1: 8. Viper destroyed!
But Anders has COs to play an EM-1.
Raider 1a: 2 - 2 = 0. Viper saved!
The other raiders advance towards Sectors 3 and 4, with one pausing long enough to destroy the Chupacabra. Fortunately for the fleet, it turns out to be a decoy ship, with no loss of resources. I'm afraid that both decoys have now been destroyed; all the remaining ships contain something at least.
Next up, we add a heavy raider and 4 more raiders. The raiders are in Sector 6, and activate immediately! There are 2 vipers standing guard.
Raider 2: 3. Miss.
Raider 3: 2. Miss.
Raider 4: 8. Viper destroyed!
We'll pause here for interrupts. Anders, do you have any more EMs you want to play? If this viper is destroyed, there'll be one remaining viper, with one raider left to shoot.
