Ok, that's a vote to TANK from Zarek, Helo, Gaeta and Apollo. Anders says he'll go along with a TANK, but begs you all to save him. That leaves the Chief. ...Who has no cards. Ok, this check is tanked. Destiny contributes:
Major Victory 1
Best of the Best 6
Tally: 1 - 6 = -5. Fail.
It seems Destiny had some strong opinions about the issue. Morale falls by 1, and Samuel Anders winds up behind bars.
Finally, the jump track advances by 1. That concludes Anders' action-packed turn. Gaeta's turn is next. Mr Gaeta, I need your optional card draw. What would you like to draw from 2 Y/G?

Best of the Best 6
Aw, man, I wanted that card! Stupid Destiny, hogging the awesome card.
So we got rid of that basestar, huzzah! But the Raiders are still an issue. Maybe Command an RSV into Sector 3 or Comms the civvies away?
BSG
I will draw one of each.
Cards sent. When you're ready, please post your move and action.
If Gatea plans to XO somebody, he could move to Comms first, then be ready for an XO there.
BSG
That was my thinking, move somewhere useful and then issue an XO. Who is our best best for an XO? Comms does seem to be a good place for me to be located, but Command could also be a good one so that I'd be ready to activate the Vipers.
Hm. If Apollo moves to Sector 4, can he then play Full Throttle and move to Sector 3? Then he'd be ready to ambush the raiders if they activate again.
BSG
An XO to me could get me to Sector 3, or to Sector 4 with one more card than I have right now.
It may seem dumb, but an XO to Chief would likely take out two Raiders.
Hm. If Apollo moves to Sector 4, can he then play Full Throttle and move to Sector 3? Then he'd be ready to ambush the raiders if they activate again.
If I had Full Throttle, I could do wonderful things! But I don't. I can move to Sector 3 normally, though, since moving is an action.
Ha, I
could
try something that would be kind of awesome if I drew the right cards and still fairly useful if I didn't. No guts, no glory!

Hey jailer, can I get a harmonica?
no can do Longshot. Last guy who asked for one nearly inhaled it and died. No more harmonicas allowed. But we got this hear guitar. I can let you play it, if you promise to not use the strings to hang yourself with.
But, I dunno how to play the guitar.
Suit yourself then.
NO WAIT! I'll take it. What else do I have to do, I can learn, right?
:: strums ::
There must be some way out of here...
:: strums ::
Hey look, I guess I can play a little. Who knew?!
GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!
