Good morning boys and girls. Wait, just boys. That's how we got into this situation in the first place. Aaand would you look at this, someone's left me a present, COs from everyone else! How handy. Here's what everyone plays:
Destiny:
2 cards
Anders:
0 cards
Gaeta:
1 card
Zarek:
2 cards
Helo:
1 card
Apollo:
0 cards
Chief:
0 cards
Cards played:
Consolidate Power 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 2
Strategic Planning 3
Critical Situation 4
Scientific Research 3
Tally: 11 - 3 = 8. Fail.
Oh dear, it looks like the Chief's explanation that the guys "just make for more interesting characters" doesn't go over well. He discards:
Consolidate Power 1
Executive Order 1
Declare Emergency 3
Repair 1
Repair 2
In addition, Galactica is damaged once. Chief, as current player, you can choose whether it's Galactica or Pegasus that takes the hit. Which do you choose?
BSG
Pegasus takes the hit. The
Airlock
bears the brunt of their wrath. While nobody's looking, the raiders activate and move to Sector 2. Finally, the jump track advances by 1. That concludes the Chief's turn. Anders is up next. Due to his weakness, Anders does not receive a card draw on this turn. Samuel Anders, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Ouch. And you had repair cards, too! Looks like we lost that gamble. We're off to a fantastic start!
Anders, XO Chief to destroy the basestar so we can focus our energy on getting more frakking cards.
BSG
Longshot here, star player, and strategist. I'm going to get my self set up to be xo'd to get two blues. But give chief another two shots at that double-y ship.
Move
to Research Lab,
play
XO-2 on Chief.
BSG
Whee, let's try it again! Aim and
shoot basestar.
Go boom, basestar! Boom!
