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

BSG (Cally)

We're losing population and ships. So that's good, or at least, it could be worse, right? right?

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

Dee has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Treachery. Dee, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Dee Struction)

I will stay where I am and activate Raiders.

Sorry, Armand, it's Scar's turn to play.

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

BSG (Tory of My Life)

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.

Come ooooon, decoys.

For the most part, it doesn't matter what order the raiders activate; there is one exception. Dee, in Sector 4, would you like to activate Scar or the ordinary raiders first?

BSG

Ok. There's some fighting in Sector 6, where seven raiders line up against a hapless RSV. (Alas, that RSV is entirely without hap.)

Raider 1: 5. RSV damaged!

Sectors 3, 4 and 6 are now defenceless! Civilian ships B, D, F and G are all destroyed, while the other raiders move towards Sector 5. Contents of the ships:

Civvie B: 1 Population
Civvie D: 0 Population
Civvie F: 1 Population
Civvie G: 1 Population

A total loss of 3 Population. There's one more thing to take care of: Scar gets two activations, so he not only moves into Sector 5, but he gets one shot in:

Scar: 6. Viper damaged.

That concludes Dee's turn. Cain has opted to draw 3G/2P. Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Cally)

I don't even know. Jump? We could get lucky and get a jump icon with no raider activation on our next crisis.

I think an XO to me would be prudent so I get my full draw on my turn but I'm just not sure.

BSG (Tory of My Death)

So as much as I want to blow Armand away, one more Raider activation will almost surely kill us, and I don't think the RSVs are going to be able to take on 11 Raider activations.

I actually think the only way we have a shot at surviving is for someone to sacrifice themselves in FTL Control. Or maybe someone Scouts for a Jump icon.
