Card sent. President Zarek has spent the last hour haranguing the Quorum for "phenomenal cosmic power". Sadly, he forgot to rub their bellies for luck. Chief's crisis is:
Thirty Three
Cylon Attack
Most of this is pretty straightforward, but the raider does get one shot at the RSV:
Die roll: 5. RSV damaged!
We shall pause here for the pilots to pass or play on EM interrupts. This roll could also be made to fail with a Calculations. Anyone who has a Calcs, either post or send me COs.
BSG
Pass, I'm saving my EM for a more critical hit.

Next time I'll get the raider to insult the pilot's iPod shuffle selection too.

Cylon Attack
GODSDAMMIT I KNEW IT. I sure am glad I took out that one Raider now, or both of us in Sector 3 could have been toast. Whew.
And I pass on EMs as well. They're more powerful when the Raiders are attacking ME. Which they will be soon if we don't jump the frak out of here. Let's spring Anders and leave soon!
BSG
I've put in COs for the Brig check, if that's what Anders chooses. I know it will be low, so I will likely be saving my cards for something bigger. Hope everyone else can help a little each and Destiny is kind.
BSG
oh uh-oh. I burned my brig check cards on the last crisis.

I burned my brig check cards on the last crisis.
Same here, unfortunately.
Since one way or another we'll be jumping soon, I want to bring something up: Do we want to try and avoid jumping to Distance 4 and straight into the Sleeper Phase while we're still kind of low on cards? Maybe pick a 2 over a 3 but a 3 over a 1?
BSG
I have passes from all players; the result stands. That concludes Chief Tyrol's turn. Anders has chosen to draws 1 Red for his optional draw. Anders, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Well, that was not a bright shining turn helping humanity to glory.
I can try to take out that basestar if someone gets a chance to XO me before we jump, get rid of that relentless pursuit if I'm successful.
I'm not concerned about entering Sleeper phase with not a lot of cards. The brand new cylon would also have not a lot of cards. And I expect to be low on cards forever and ever.
Speaking of cards, I would not be able to help Anders get out of the brig. Sorry, man.
