I do have an XO that I could use during this. It seems prudent. Who would best be served by the extra action?
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

My plan was for Gaeta to activate Command, and then you XO him to activate Command twice. Without a pilot, we need to get the RSVs to protect those civvies. I can only assume that Boomer left us a Crisis to activate Raiders. We have no EMs. If those Raiders activate, unless all four of them miss that 1 RSV, we lose that civvie.
I am also in Command, the other option being for me to activate it once and then use the other action to draw some Piloting in hopes of getting some EMs. But it's a gamble.
I mean, honestly, Gaeta could just have that one Viper fire six times and hope to take out most of the Raiders. Offense vs. Defense. I'll leave it to him to choose the strategy.
Oh, Tory, you're back in the President's Office?! Oh, good, then maybe you have magic Quorum powers to help us in this emergency.

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

We have no EMs. If those Raiders activate, unless all four of them miss that 1 RSV, we lose that civvie.
Technically, if three of them miss, then the fourth one spends its action whacking the RSV, and the civvie would survive to see another turn.

Sheesh. Well, yeah, this is an emergency if I ever saw one. Good call.
I'd say I should activate Command defensively at this point, and if the Admiral would like to XO me, then I could activate it offensively then.
As to the future, remember I have my character FTL reroll.

Unfortunately the quorum seems to be all about speechifying and protecting the office of president at the moment. I will try to work with them when my turn comes around to develop some more offensive strategies.

I'm glad I saved it. I was considering declaring a really boring emergency earlier just to use it, but—ironically—it was Adama's turn, so I was afraid Boomer might reveal. Of course, I'm giving her a Cylon turn right now anyway, but this time it's worth it.
I'd say I should activate Command defensively at this point, and if the Admiral would like to XO me, then I could activate it offensively then.
Sounds like a plan.

BSG (Gaeta)
Ok, I activate Command to launch an RSV into Sector 6, and move it to Sector 1.
Yeah, I agree that it's worth the risk of a revealed Boomer turn.

There are now two RSVs in Sector 1. Tory is next.
Edit: wait, I have COs from Tory to Activate the President's Office. Quorum card sent. Tory, when you're ready, please post whether you play one or draw another.

The way I see it, more cards are good. Ellen, I'm going to go ahead and Assign Chief of Staff to you. That lets me draw two politics and my ability lets me draw two more cards. I feel like we need some more purple so, two of those please, mr GM, sir.
