Crap, sorry for the delay again, got caught away from the computer all day today.
I play an XO-1 on Gaeta.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Ok, I activate CIC to fire at the basestar, twice if necessary.

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

Possible interrupt: SP. Everyone, please pass or play. You can send me COs for Calcs too.

Ok, everyone passes on interrupts. The basestar has previously suffered structural damage, so the roll is at +2 anyway:
Die roll: 3 + 2 = 5. One hit! Causing a... Disabled Hangar!
The basestar hangs there still, taunting you. Gaeta fires again:
Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Third hit - basestar destroyed! So that went well. But the fleet, are they ever happy? They're asking questions, why didn't the President arrange this on her turn? Adama's crisis is:
Ambushed by the Press
President's Choice
President Foster, when you're ready, please post your choice.

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

I thought I had a Major Victory but alas. I actually have a pretty shitty hand so I will bow to the will of the people.

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

We do keep taking Morale hits, which isn't great. I peeked ahead to New Caprica, and there is a pretty interesting location where we can sacrifice some of our highest resource (which is Morale or Food right now) to advance the jump track and get Galactica back more quickly so we can stop living with Boomer. So I figure it's worth it to keep our high resources high if we can. If your hand is crap, maybe we can save our Morale? You know your hand better than we do.

It wouldn't matter here. An MV needs to be played by the one who struck the killing blow, so here, Gaeta.

BSG (Killing Blow Gaeta!)
Yeah, I don't have one. My victory is only minor, apparently. I have found that to be the most frustrating card to have or not have.
Anyway, I have no opinion on the hit to take here. We've been pretty good on cards, and Tory can be a card generating machine working the quorum, but it is her whole hand, and it's hard to say what New Caprica's getting ready to bring us.

BSG (Two-Minds Tory)
Thinking it over, although a lot of my cards are small, some of them are really useful. It's a gamble either way but I think I can save more morale in the future if I keep my hand.
Yes I realize you're upset but when are you people going to realize that my needs are more important than your own? A happy president is a happy populace. Or something like that.
I choose Option 1

Morale drops by 1 as Tory evades the ambush. The raiders also advance, but they're too late as the FTL drive spools up. The fleet jumps! Destinations sent to the Admiral. Admiral Adama, when you're ready, please post your choice.
