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

Maybe draw some extra cards?

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

I could move to Sector 1 and block the Raiders' advance for the moment. I should be able to hold them off for a bit. (I should have started in Sector 6, frak. But I was afraid the Raiders would activate before I had a chance to cover the civvies.)

Alternatively, you could jump to Pegasus and fire on Sector 1 with some shit. (And that may not be a bad place for you to be, since Pegasus will be where the repairs will need to be made.)

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

BSG

Not Anders, and I suppose not Helo. Anyone else?

Anders can indicate whether he has a useful action or not, but note that he is on board and received his starting draw along with everyone else. His weakness prevents him from receiving his first regular draw (next turn), but doesn't stop him doing anything else.

You may indeed move to Pegasus if you wish. Remember that if you move between ships, you must discard 1 skill card.

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

BSG

Right, but I wouldn't want to XO Anders because his turn is next.

Hm.

If you fired on the basestar or the Raiders, I could help you plan a strategy (although if someone else who's going to draw cards before me is also a good planner, that would be nice). I am seeing the appeal of offense over defense right now, as it is likely to have more of a lasting effect.

Strategy, eh? I like the sound of that. I move to Weapons Control and fire on the basestar.

Interrupts! A Strategic Planning may modify the roll. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for using a Calculations.

Weapons Control? I thought you would go to CIC, where plans are more powerful. Why hit the basestar once when you can hit it twice??
