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

A small correction, Adama played a pair of XO-1s. Running tally is 9 for an exact pass. Boomer is up next.

That brings us to a total of 9. The check passes, for no effect. More exciting is that with the jump icon, Galactica returns! All Galactica and Pegasus locations are once again available, as are the Cylon locations. The final battle is about to begin! From now on, the Admiral may at any time spend an action to jump the fleet (along with all evacuated ships and personnel) and end the game.

Finally, Ellen ends her turn with one card too many. She discards a Broadcast Location 1. That concludes Ellen's turn. Gaeta has opted to draw 1Y/1G in his card draw. Mr Gaeta, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Enemy at the Gaeta)

Hm. So there's basically nothing offensive we can do about the baddies in the skies from down here, huh?

I have an XO that could go to someone, but either it'd be Ellen for facepunching and then? Or someone could move and wreak havoc? Or I could move and...do stuff?

I'm glad Galactica's back, but I wish we were a little more prepared. Like, at all prepared. And there are RSVs up there, but the civvies are all down here.

Okay, I've talked myself into it. I move to the Shipyard and I play my XO1 on Ellen for more facepunching, etc. to deal with what may be the more immediate threat. I think that's the best use of the XO with potential multiple actions. Then if we can get someone up at one or other of the controls we can start dealing with the skies, while we're down here preparing for evacuation.

BSG (Muhammad Elli)

Let's certainly take care of the immediate threat! Unfortunately, I used that Consolidate Power on the last check, or I'd be able to use it now. As it is, if I'm successful, I won't be able to use the second action since I'm not President (sadly).

I remain in OA and punch the Centurion in the face. I pass on interrupts. If I miss, I punch again. If I do not miss, I, um, make sad eyes of inefficiency at Gaeta.

No, but you can move back to Galactica at the cost of one card. Or you could evacuate a ship from the Shipyard (there is one prepped) and that will allow you a free move to Galactica if you wish.

Ellen is facepunching another Centurion. Possible interrupt: SP. Everyone, please pass or play.
