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

BSG

Starbuck, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

I'm going to play it safe and launch into Sector 5 and move to Sector 4.

(I considered launching into Sector 6 and moving to Sector 1, but I don't have an EM, so if the Raiders activate before my turn, I'll likely get sent to Sickbay, which would be a waste.)

BSG

Starbuck uses her first action to launch into Sector 5, which grants her a bonus action. She uses this to move to Sector 4 and stand guard over the civvies. Starbuck, you have one action from the XO left over. Do you wish to use it, or pass?

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

BSG

I got your back, Starbuck. At least a couple times.

Oh! I get so many Actions! I will continue on to Sector 3, then.

I got your back, Strarbuck. At least a couple times.

Glad to hear it, Kat. I'm going to stay in safe space for now and see what the Raiders do. Tory could possibly XO you to come at them from the other side.

Do I get +2 to hit for flanking?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Bah. That's not shooting raiders, I said shoot raiders! Pilots.

I actually could shoot a Raider with the knowledge that Kat has my back, but I think it's still good to play it safe until we both build up our Piloting skills. On my turn, Tigh, I promise to shoot some Raiders.

Starbuck is now in Sector 3. This is a problem; there are no Cylons in Sector 3. Unless Starbuck is a Cylon. I'm sworn to secrecy! But if she isn't, she has nothing to shoot at. Actually, if she is, she still has nothing to shoot at. Cally's the only character that can shoot at herself, though Kat can make a decent show of it.

Anyway, back to my original point, which is: there are no Cylons in Sector 3, and Starbuck is sitting idle. We can't have that, right? Right. Tigh's crisis card is:

Dogfight
Cylon Attack

Well, crap. That's the sort of thing that drives an Admiral to drink.
