Holy Frak. The things that happen after you go to bed.
Well, at least we flushed out both Cylons. In this rule set, are there possibility of more? Or is two the maximum?
Woot for blowing up that basestar! If it needs shooting, ask a Pyramid star! Get 'er done!
eta: looks like that move to Comms might be a good one, now that Apollo is in sickbay.
BSG
Only two Cylons! Team Human is united!

Eh, if we're attacked, I can jump in a Viper. No biggie. I'm more miffed about losing all my good cards. Which I still don't understand! Why did that happen??
BSG
Only two Cylons! Team Human is united!Good to know. Of course, I feel like a human sandwich on two slices of cylon. Crap before my turn, and crap after my turn. I suppose it's better than both in a row.
Wait, do we have two people in sickbay? Or is my spreadsheet messed up? We also are low on cards.
We need to jump. Is it safe to say, ignore the damage to Pegasus? Having not played with it before, not sure it's ramifications. Loss only happens with excessive damage to G, right?
BSG

Helo was in Sickbay, but he moved to Comms. Just me in Sickbay now.
We also are low on cards.
That is very, very true.
Is it safe to say, ignore the damage to Pegasus? Having not played with it before, not sure it's ramifications. Loss only happens with excessive damage to G, right?
Yes. We can lose Pegasus and not lose the game. I don't think we should waste turns Repairing it if we can do anything at all to get to Kobol faster. And, really, if we don't jump at least 2 distance on our next jump, we're toast. But given that Helo will have three Destinations to choose from, I think we're good.
BSG
I am not able to scout at this time.
BSG
Wait, now I forget whose turn it is.
BSG
It's Helo's Emergency turn. We are also waiting on the ruling on playing the Major Victory. I think it should be fine.
Well, Helo, I don't know what else you can do. Activate Comms for fun? Move somewhere else?
BSG
I'll move to the Research Lab. We might need some help with repairs since our chief mechanic turned out to be a cylon. No wonder he was so good with machines.
BSG
Well, that was certainly more eventful than our last State of Emergency.
BSG
We are also waiting on the ruling on playing the Major Victory.
In order to play a Major Victory, it has to be you personally who destroyed the basestar or Centurion. Since Anders blew up the basestar, I'm afraid Helo can't play the MV.
I will Activate the Pres' Office, draw one Quorum card, play Assign Mission Specialist on Helo, and draw 2 Green.
Problem: Tory starts the game in the Press Room; you're not yet in the President's Office. You can still use your action to Assign Mission Specialist, you just can't draw another Quorum card in the process. Do you wish to do that?
I'm more miffed about losing all my good cards. Which I still don't understand! Why did that happen??
It's part of the impact of the Chief's reveal. He gets to choose any player on Galactica (good thing you landed!). That player discards five cards and goes to Sickbay. The discards are random because of your weakness.
Once we get confirmation on Tory's action, we'll finish this Emergency and get on to Apollo's crisis.
