It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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

BSG

oops I thought I posted earlier. I choose Option 2.

Hooray for the jump track advancing!

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

BSG

Helo chooses option 2. Morale falls by 1, as the people of the fleet realise there's a reason why they never get any screentime. Gaeta has chosen to damage Pegasus; Pegasus CIC has been hit.

Finally, both the raiders and the jump track advance. That concludes Gaeta's turn. Zarek's cards are going out. President Zarek, 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

I will be offline for the evening, but I will leave COs if I am XOed. I can fire on a Raider! Or Chief can fire on two Raiders. Or Gaeta can move the RSVs toward the Raiders. Somehow, I think Raiders are going to be involved. They're almost upon us!

I kind of like the idea of using Weapons Control to fire on Raiders. It's funny.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Hmmph. Definitely not the draw I was hoping for, but.....

MOVE to the President's office.

For my action, I can either start building up Quorum cards, or XO someone....

On the space front, Gaeta could move the RSVs up a space each, or Apollo engage the Raiders.

-oh, I just saw Apollo's last message. From his phrasing, I don't think he has a Max Firepower.

Unless someone has a strong argument for a course of action, I'm leaning to having Gaeta get Apollo some backup. Thoughts?

Gaeta activating the raiders sounds like a good plan to me.

Other than the location of the big red button, no.

Hm. On re-consideration, I will play an XO-1 on Mr Gaeta.

Mr Gaeta, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
