Right. I have an XO.
I XO Cally.
BSG
Cally, 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 (Cally)
I will move to FTL Control and Activate!
Let's get the frak out of here!
BSG (Tory)
We recognize your great sacrifice, Cally! We will send someone to replace you. Perhaps Anders, who could destroy Armand with his OPG? But he wouldn't get any cards. And it would be nice for someone to draw Blue. I am not sure who would be best to give us a fighting chance.
BSG
Cally moves to the FTL and activates it! However, it's been rigged by Starbuck; when the fleet jumps, it leaves behind everything that isn't nailed down within FTL Control, including Cally. Cally is executed, and reveals the following loyalty card:
YOU ARE NOT A CYLON
Morale falls by 1. I have some COs from Laga for a replacement character, along with a question. Once that's clarified, I'll post her choice.
Meanwhile, there's the risk that Cally could have some company. Per CO, Cain plays a Strategic Planning 4 on the jump:
Die roll: 2 + 2 = 4. Fail. Population falls by 1, to 1. But Morale stays where it is, as apparently the rest of the fleet only really cared about Cally.
Destinations are now being sent to the Admiral. Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
Forgot to add, with Cally's execution, she discards:
Declare Emergency 3
At Any Cost 3
Scientific Research 5
Build Nuke 6
Broadcast Location 1
Cally discarded a Treachery card in that lot. I have COs from Dee: play Sabotage 3. Cain, as current player, it's your choice: is Pegasus or Galactica damaged?
BSG (Who am I?)
It would be nice to draw blue. It would also be nice to be able to scout the crisis deck and to choose the result of one skill check. Unfortunately it would not be nice to get brigged right away. But I looked at all the characters and I really think Boomer can help us the most. I choose Sharon "Boomer" Valerii.
BSG
Welcome to the crew, Boomer. I'm sorry to say, given what happened the last time a pilot suddenly showed up after an execution, you'll be headed straight to the Brig. As a precautionary measure, you understand.
While we await the Admiral's decisions on the destination and where to assign the Sabotage, I thought I'd give you an update on the civilian ships. There are four left, containing:
0 Population
1 Population
1 Population, 1 Fuel
2 Population
Population now stands at 1.
BSG
Your Admiral has spoken! After the hammering the fleet received on that last jump, perhaps you should pick on something less able to fight back. Your destination is:
Derelict Basestar
Distance 2
The new basestar has been damaged once; it has suffered a Critical Hit.
Dee reciprocates with some Sabotage; Cain assigns the damage to Pegasus, which loses its Engine Room.
You have now reached the Sleeper Phase. There's only one brand of loyalty card left, so I think you can all figure out what you get off the deck (in Boomer's case, twice!). Starbuck and Dee, technically you pass your new loyalty cards to another player. Feel free to pick a bunny if you wish.
At the end of Cain's last turn, Population stood at 10. Since then, not only have you lost 90% of humanity, but 2 Fuel and 2 Morale as well. There have been few cycles as brutal as this one; but at least you can finish it on a less fraught note. Cain's crisis is:
Food Shortage (A)
President's Choice
President Foster, when you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG (Foster the People)
At the end of Cain's last turn, Population stood at 10. Since then, not only have you lost 90% of humanity, but 2 Fuel and 2 Morale as well.
Holy crap on a stick.
I choose Option 2 and discard RT-0, TI-0.
