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.

Well, crap. That's the sort of thing that drives an Admiral to drink.
Technically, it's Surrounded that would've driven you to drink ("Current player discards 3 skill cards").
BSG
I'm pretty sure most of these crises drive me to drink one way or another. It's a short trip.
BSG
SONOFABITCH. Well, it's a good thing I'm in space, eh? Tory, hope you can get Kat out there to help too.
Cripes, did we have to get a Cylon Attack ALREADY? Looks like I should have taken the risky path.
Tory, if you don't have an XO, you should move to Comms and move those civvies into Sector 3 so they don't get destroyed if those Raiders activate.
BSG
It's a short trip.
Heh. Not far from anywhere you are, eh, Admiral?
BSG
End-of-turn summary. Note that the two civvies in Sector 4 are sharing their space with 2 raiders and are undefended.

although I assure you I am not a cylon, I understand if you don't want to make the tacitcal risk of XOing me.
BSG
Indeed, Madame President. Always have a flask at hand.
So, an XO could get Kat to Sector 4 with one shot on a toaster. Communications could move A & B, Command could move RSVs from 5 to 4. And you might have a Quorum card that could come in handy, I suppose. Lots of options!
BSG
An XO to Kat would be the best option. And now that you bring it up, I actually think Command would be better than Comms. The RSVs can protect those civvies through one complete Activation. If we move the civvies to me, I can only take one hit, and then the second Raider could take a civvie, PLUS the basestar would be spitting out more Raiders right on top of them. It may be better to move the RSVs to Sector 4, and then I can join them on my turn.
But an XO to Kat is still the best option, since she could actually shoot at one of those Raiders and possibly even ensure a hit.
