BSG (Tory Tory Hippos)
Frak, that wasn't very effective rationing, and a waste of a perfectly good plan.
And, oof. Unfortunately, Admiral, I think we need to go with Option 2 on this one, given our New Caprica destination. Can't lose non-civvie Population! Although, damn, that is a hell of a lot of ships to place. Maybe it's not worth it. Especially if we get a real attack on top of it.
BSG (Cally)
Ugh that is a tough choice. It would still leave us with 10 Pop if we take the pop loss but it's so early in the game I'm just not sure which is the sounder choice. If it were mine I'd go with option 2.
BSG
I went with Option 1, I think the toasters can do a lot more damage if we allow that much metal in the sky around us this early in a jump cycle. We'd probably end up needing to jump out early and then risk the population at that point.
Especially if we get a real attack on top of it
<waggles eyebrows suggestively>
BSG
The Admiral declares "Suck it up civvies, this battlestar is still under warranty" Day! Population falls by 2.
In the most farcical part of this turn, the lone raider (lacking any other targets) now opens fire on Galactica!
Die roll: 6. Miss.
Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Tory's turn. Dee's cards are going out. Dee, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Dee)
Well, I think my best option is to stay put (and hope someone XOs me to take a couple shots at this centurion sometime) and XO-2 the Admiral. I know she's human and maybe having birds in the air will help down the road. Give 'em hell, Helena.
BSG
Cain, 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.
BSG (Pure Cain Sugah)
I will stay where I'm at and Lauch some reserve Vipers!
I'm never a pilot, which sector do the launch into?
BSG
You may choose either Sector 5 or Sector 6 for a launch. You can then move them to other sectors (one sector at a time) with subsequent activations. If you activate Command once, you'll have two viper activations; if you activate it twice, you'll have four activations.
