Sorry, guys, I didn't get an XO. I think we are screwed.
BSG
All right, so we have to destroy that Centurion on your turn, Tigh, or we're toast. If you don't get an XO, then I guess that's it. If you do, it depends on how much we can strategically plan. I'm going to be gone for the day, so I'm going to leave COs.
If neither you nor Kat have an SP, I can fish for one before making an attempt. Otherwise, I can hope for the best on two tries. Ideally, you'll have two SPs between you two, of course, but even one will do, as it means I can safely go for two tries. Although I've seen something like four SPs so far, so I'm not sure there are that many left in the deck for me to go fishing for. Maybe it's best to blindly shoot twice.
If you and Kat think it's better to try to be safe, though, vote to FISH, and I will do so.
Sorry, guys, I didn't get an XO. I think we are screwed.
Oh. In that case, yeah, it's over. Unless Tory decides to just frak with us for longer.
I wasn't thinking. We should have brigged Kat again so at least you were mobile and would have been able to try the Armoury yourself on your turn. And you would have had that SP. Gah.
BSG
Please see previous post. No XO. I can kill us slightly faster, or I can mess with Destiny which will, I'm pretty sure, not affect anything, or I can scout the crisis deck. Or I can try to get out of the brig.
BSG
You don't happen to have a CS so we could pull the Kat move again, eh? Unbrig you to go shoot at a Centurion?
Otherwise, I'm not sure anything you could do would be useful. All Tory has to do is move the Centurion, and we lose. You don't even draw a Crisis. Well, actually, if we get you out, you draw a Crisis, and there is the slim possibility that it could help us in some way. Or activate the Heavy Raiders and kill us on your turn.
I guess that's the best option, though.
BSG
No CS.
I'd a lost my cards whoever we brigged, IIRC. And I really didn't want to brig Kat again after she had to languish in there for so long AND when she's our best weapon against centurions.
BSG
I'd a lost my cards whoever we brigged, IIRC.
Ah, right, but still, you could have made an attempt and blindly shot, which is more than you can do now. Even brigging me would have been better, in retrospect.
I can help a lot in getting you out of the brig, but I would probably only be able to help a little on the Crisis, depending on what it is. So if it lets us destroy a Centurion or move one back or SOMETHING, we have a small chance. I can't think of anything else useful besides playing a Blow Up Tory card.
BSG
I can't help much on a brig check but let's at least go down fighting.
BSG
OK, then.
Activate the frakking brig.
Also,
At Any Cost-4,
what the heck, no sense in hanging onto it.
BSG
We have an escape attempt. Other possible interrupts are IC and SR. The Cylons can't play them, and Kat hasn't drawn the right colours. Apollo, please pass or play.
Everyone can send me COs for the check itself too. Tory will play first, Tigh last.
