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

Um. Ahhh. OK. Not good at this poli stuff. ::adjusts tie nervously:: Just don't make me do any press conferences. I suck at those. Unless I'm in a whirlpool talking about Pyramid. Then I'm not so bad. Not good, but not so bad.

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

BSG

Wow! What a ride. Glad I went all in. Glad we all did. I'm proud of my crew. Well except for that frakker who gave the execution order on Zarek. That guy's a jerk.

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

BSG

Wasn't that a lovely speech? Morale rises by 1 as the fleet remembers that the ex-President was a violent terrorist, but it's ok because he's dead. In fact, the Cylons were so moved, they wanted to get a better seat for it. Anders' crisis is:

Besieged
Cylon Attack

I'll get the full details out when I can, but first, there are 2 vipers going in Sector 6. Apollo, do you want to AVP one of them? If so, please post your choice of action. There are also 4 raiders going in Sector 6, who activate immediately (after Apollo's AVP). I'll ask the pilots to send me COs for playing EMs.

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

BSG

Frakking hell, we need to jump out of here ASAP!

I AVP a Viper in Sector 6 and use my CAG OPG to activate the motley crew of RSVs in Sector 6 to fire on the Raiders six times.

Take 'em out, nuggets! You all get one shot, and the two I like best get to go again.

BSG

FRAKKIT NOT NOW!

Apollo, if you manage to take out all the raiders in less than 6 shots, I recommend moving an RSV to Sector 1 to cover the civvies there.

(I really hope G-bot doesn't have Fleet Mobilization.....)

If I get an XO on my turn I'll have someone Push The Button; if not, Helo can do it on his and we'll get the reroll.

The Raiders are going to be spitting out of the basestar in Sector 5. I should move any free RSVs there to cut them off.

Oh, I think there are only three RSVs since I am piloting one. So everyone, shoot twice!

So glad I stayed in weapons.

With population the highest, I think we can afford an early jump.

I am just really afraid for whatever Gaeta has the possibility of doing to us.

I agree. First we need to survive this activation.

The vipers open fire on the raiders, powerless before Apollo's Svengali-like powers.

Viper 1: 6. Hit!
Viper 2: 8. Hit!
Viper 3: 5. Hit!
Viper 4: 4. Hit!

Well, that's a shame. They've run out of targets. I guess -- I guess they could start shooting at Apollo? ...No? Oh well. Apollo left a Plan B, which is: launch 2 vipers into Sector 5. So there's that.

That concludes Anders' turn. As Cylon attacks go, that was a bit of a fizzler. Maybe it was just a decoy, for their real plan. Gaeta has opted to draw Red. Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
