BSG Mr Gaeta, you may need to bold that to make it official.

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

BSG

I'm not sure if you can activate one raider four times. I think you can activate two raiders twice.

He can't activate any raiders. He only has command over Colonial ships. He can, however, gain up to four viper activations with this XO. Command grants multiple activations, which may be used all on different vipers, all on the same viper, or anything in between.

Okay, just so I'm clear, I have four viper activations, so I can have a single viper move two spaces and then shoot twice, is that correct? (Can you tell I've not played a pilot much?)

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

BSG

Oh! Yes, you can do that. I forgot that you can activate Command twice. Go for it.

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

BSG

oh oops. I see what I did there.

I can have a single viper move two spaces and then shoot twice

yay! (that is correct)

Then that is what I do.

I activate Command and move the Viper in Sector 3, to Sector 5, and then have it attack a raider. If I destroy the first raider then I will attack a second one, if I do not destroy the first one then I will attack it again.

One of the RSVs breaks formation and goes rogue!

Attack 1: 3. Hit!
Attack 2: 2. Miss.
Apparently his strategy of "going for the one in the middle" works best when there's an odd number of raiders.

Mr Anders, when you were in the Research Lab, did you touch anything? Dr Baltar thinks you touched something. He can't get his equipment to work, and there's a funny smell coming from one of the workbenches. Zarek's crisis is:

Detector Sabotage
Skill Check (8 GP)

Usual interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also vote whether or not to TANK, and can send me COs for the check itself. Helo will play first, Zarek last.

If I destroy the first raider then I will attack a second one, if I do not destroy the first one then I will attack it again.

Because it's very important that you destroy THAT Raider! It is clearly more powerful than the other two!

Ah, well, at least we got one!

Nice work, Gaeta! Always good to know that the man with a coup plot in his pocket can be such a commanding presence in Command.
