GEE THANKS GUYS.

A Raptor is found drifting, one of those taken by Roslin and her followers. The only survivor on board is -

Uh, billytea? The email you sent me says Tory draws Treachery. Is that right?

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

BSG

No, that's a typo. No, wait, it means... T for Tactics. Yeah, that's right. No typo here.

Tory's regular card draw is 3 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Purple.

Tory staggered out of the Raptor's hatch and stared around, dazed. "Tom..." she started, then coughed and went on more strongly, "Tom got me a message. He said something was about to happen, something he needed someone trustworthy on hand for. Roslin..." She bit her lip. "She didn't have anything left. Just hanging on to the Admiral..." A deep breath. "Where's Tom?"

I choose Tory Foster.

Oh, hi Tory! You passed him on the way in!

New loyalty card heading your way. Brace yourself!

Ok, now the formalities have been dealt with, the basestar (I'm sure you'll all agree it's been waiting very patiently) fires upon the fleet!

Die roll: 7. Hit! Tory, your first decision is whether the basestar was aiming at Galactica or Pegasus. When you're ready, please post your choice.

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

BSG

Pegasus is a good choice, always in fashion.

Pegasus bears the brunt of its wrath. Airlock damaged.

Finally, the jump track, set back two spaces by Gaeta's sabotage, recovers half that distance. That concludes Zarek'a Tory's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

I'm going to step outside for a little air.

I play PF-0 to move to Pegasus CIC, and play SP-4 before I attack that puppy.
