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

Administrative note: the Chief's card draw has exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

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

BSG

I think we can wait for someone to XO Chief for the Airlock to be repaired. Having more birds in the air is never bad, imo. If you can't XO me, Chief, maybe come join me and launch an RSV for Apollo's future commandeering.

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

Chief, if you can repair the Airlock and use your bonus action, that would be cool. Unfortunately, sending me out into space would basically just do that, as I wouldn't be able to use my bonus action at all. I don't think it's a priority to get me out immediately. The only advantage to launching me prematurely is that if we're not attacked by my turn, it's an excuse to discard my Treachery card to move back to the ship.

I don't think there's a Cylon Attack card that doesn't place a Viper on the board, and, personally, I would rather wait to use my ability in that situation. Not that I want us to be attacked, but there's no reason for me to be in space if we're not under attack. The real power of my ability is the fact that if we are attacked, I can jump into a Viper and take an action immediately. If I'm already in space, I can't do that.

That being said, getting me out is really easy, so, unless there is seriously nothing better for you to do on your turn, I wouldn't worry about it right now.

If you have an XO (which it is clear you do), I'd say XO Gaeta to draw cards, which would make his moving to Research Lab during the emergency worthwhile.

And I was just going to be all simple and XO Apollo directly. Did you have anything in mind beyond launching a viper for Apollo to take over, Admiral?

I mean, with a simple XO, I suppose I could join the party in Research Lab and draw a card.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG

I'd vote for the airlock getting fixed. We got no enemies at the gate just now. Getting the fleet up to par would be a great help for when the fit hits the shan.

Pegasus is there to take hits for us. Let's restore a hit point. (Er, this is assuming Chief has a Repair card, which may not be the case.)

That I will repair the Airlock goes without saying, my friends, that's why I didn't say anything about it. I will not move and fix the Airlock with a Repair-1. For my extra action, since we are not currently under attack and Apollo is content to hang out in Sickbay flirting with the nurses, I'll use this XO-2 on Mr. Gaeta to presumably do some sort of Research in the Lab.

Mr Gaeta, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. When you're ready, please post your orders.
