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

BSG

I glare menacingly at the basestar.

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

BSG

Two misses in one turn! It's like the Cylons are mocking us.

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

BSG

We have an SP on this attack. Tigh fires:

Die roll: 6 + 2 = 8. Hit! Let's check the damage:
Disabled Hangar! The basestar in Sector 1 is no longer able to launch raiders.

Starbuck has left orders for her final action, to fire at another raider.

Die roll = 6. Hit!

You know what you guys need here? Some civil defence. Some very, very aggressive civil defence. Starbuck's crisis is:

Civilian Ship Nuked
President's Choice

President Foster, when you're ready, please post your choice.

Yay, but, balls, I overplanned!

Disabled Hangar! The basestar in Sector 1 is no longer able to launch raiders.

YES!!

Die roll = 6. Hit!

YES!!

Civilian Ship Nuked

...That doesn't sound good.

What's this 'like' they're mocking you? They're totally mocking you. In fact, they've invented a new dance, they call it the Starbuck dance. It mostly consists of twirling around the room with your hands over your eyes, maybe falling over a couple of times too.

As much as I'd prefer not to trade my last card for treachery, option 2 could be really tragic. I think I'd go with 1, if it were up to me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Whoo!

Whoo!

Oh.

Hm. All this talk about nuking and building nukes. Possibly not the best chatter, as it turns out, huh? Poor civvies. As your president, I make a sad but resolved face in your general direction.

I agree, I choose Option 1. I don't want to be losing that many civvies right off the bat when we've got so many others in danger already. Hopefully we can find a way to slough off the Treachery cards.

I discard 1 RT0.

I'm not keen on a potential Cylon having a Treachery card, but Option 2 could be very bad, it's true. Of course, Option 1 could be just as bad if we draw the right/wrong civvies, so it's kind of a crapshoot.

It's a good thing you hit that basestar right in the hangar, Tigh. Saved us a couple new Raiders.

Kat, you're going to get shot at first, but I've got your back. If one of us is going to get sent to Sickbay, it's going to be me. Is your last card a Piloting card? I wouldn't want you to lose that either.

Well, looks like you lose it. I discard R-1.

I discard my LS-1.

Glad that hangar is disabled, at least. I hope Kat can get rid of some of those swarming raiders.
