"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

(hah! This was an issue in today's model rocket launches! "Okay, give a 5-count!" "One, two..." "No, wait, backwards from five!" "5, 4, 3, 2, 1...." long pause...rocket!)

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

BSG

Tory has chosen to destroy 1 ship and have everyone draw Treachery. The destroyed ship contained 1 Pop. Treachery is going out.

Next, the raiders activate. Starbuck has opted to have them attack Kat first:

Die roll = 6. Viper damaged! But Starbuck plays an EM-2:
Die roll = 6 - 2 = 4. Miss.

Next, Sector 3. Starbuck faces off against 6 raiders. But she plays Run Interference, and the first four all miss! The remaining two:

Raider 1: 5. Viper damaged! Both pilots pass on EMs. Starbuck is sent to Sickbay. The last raider advances to Sector 4. Then, the raiders in Sector 1 move and new raiders launch in Sector 3. Finally, the jump track advances by 1.

That concludes Starbuck's turn. I'm sending out Kat's draw. Kat, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

BSG

Die roll = 6. Viper damaged! But Starbuck plays an EM-2:
Die roll = 6 - 2 = 4. Miss.

Whew! Now we're even.

I hope you get an XO! I can still get to Sector 4 from Sickbay. If you don't, er, it was nice knowing you, civvies.

Can you shoot a Raider and THEN move? Or do you have to move and then shoot one of the billion Raiders in Sector 3?

Starbuck: Sickbay; 5 cards

More like 3.

Hey, where did our Viper Reserves disappear to?

It has to be move and shoot. While in a viper, you can use an action to move, but you still can't use a move to take an action (unless you have Full Throttle or Critical Situation).

You can also use your move to land back at a Galactica, Pegasus or Colonial One location (at the cost of 1 card).

Ino space. There are 8 vipers. There are currently 4 RSVs on the board, Ka's got one, and another one got shot out from under Starbuck. Leaves 2 in the launch tubes.

Huh, alternatively, I could move to Command and move those two RSVs into Sector 4. They could at least defend against both Raiders, whereas I could be sent right back to Sickbay in one hit. It's not really that wise to be out in space without Piloting cards, and I'm out.

I suppose it'll depend on what all you draw, Kat.

Ah, I didn't go far enough back in the summaries to see what the total # of vipers is. All caught up now.

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

BSG

rats. No XO.

I move to Sector 3 and play Maximum Firepower 3 to take out some raiders.
