I have COs from Tory for just such an occasion:
she plays an SP-3.
Let's see how the Admiral's aim is:
Die roll: 6 + 2 = 8. Hit!
You have caused
Structural Damage.
That's not a critical hit, so per your orders, you now fire on the other basestar. I have COs from Tory for just such an occasion:
she plays an SP-3.
(Again.)
Die roll: 1 + 2 = 3. Miss.
Shooting at basestars requires your undivided attention, Admiral! It doesn't help to have your nose in the latest bestseller,
Loving the Robot.
Tory's crisis is:
Controversial Manuscript
President's Choice
Tory, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Ellen)
Frak! That was okay, but it could have gone better.
And now we're going to have Raiders! Dammit, after we got Morale on that last check, I think we better just lose it now.
BSG (Ellen)
Oh! I forgot that it was actually Tory's turn. Adama, maybe jump us out of here? We're very likely to lose the Pop unless we have another SP, but if the Raiders activate, we'll probably lose 2 Pop from the civvies, and then Boomer will get a chance to wreak some havoc in this setup.
BSG (Prez. Tory)
I can always inspire morale with a rousing speech later on. I
choose
option 1.
BSG (Ellen)
And by jump us out of here, I mean XO Gaeta to jump us out of here. He knows which button to press.
BSG
Aww, I was hoping for things to go boom. Tory suppresses the manuscript! The fleet's prescribed reading remains limited to the following Colonial Literature prizewinners:
"My Bassoon Teacher's Decolettage" - Franceon
"The Spirit and Purpose of Geography" - Germanon
"I Am Curious, Grey" - Swedon
"Battlefield Perth" - Australeon
"USA! USA! USA!" - USA
Morale falls by 1, raiders launch, jump prep advances, rocks fall, everyone dies. That concludes Tory's turn. Adama's cards are going out. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
BSG

I
MOVE to Research and play an XO-1 on Gaeta.
BSG
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.
I can always tell before looking in the thread when a Cylon reveals, because suddenly there's a lot more posts. I'll admit it takes some of the suspense out of it.
