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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

As a reminder, Cain's weakness means that she cannot activate the FTL Control herself (or the Engine Room). She can XO someone else to do so, if she wishes.

BSG (Tory Poppins)

Well, Cally's OPG is useless now, so maybe we can trade her in for a new model. That worked out so well for us before.

I voluteer to push the button. If I survive, I get my full card raw!

Oh, you won't survive. Start thinking of your new character now.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I'm laughing at how this all started because you guys wanted an all female crew! I'm guessing a frivolous airlock will never happen again!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I know, Rayne, right? It went straight from frivolity into devastation.
