Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

BSG (Boomer)

If our next jump is to New Caprica, we can make it on 2 fuel... wait that's not right. Not sure how much I can reveal about the card I scouted but 2 fuel would not be enough.

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

BSG (Taura Foslin)

Actually, we can't take the Fuel hit. Because we have 3 Fuel. The best we can do right NOW is a Destination that only takes 2 Fuel. We can't use 3 Fuel, or else we lose.

It's possible we can only do this in two 1 Fuel jumps. I don't know if we can last another jump cycle. It'll be rough. Of course, if neither Destination takes less than 3 Fuel, than we lose.

So yeah. Option 1 is the only option.

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

BSG

To assist with planning, the destination deck contains a total of 34 cards. 11 of them are less than 2 distance (and all cost less than 2 Fuel). 11 destinations cost at least 2 Fuel, or cost Population as well. 12 destinations give at least 2 distance for less than 2 Fuel (and without reducing Population).

Food and Morale drop by 1. Next, the basestar takes a final shot:

Die roll: 2. Miss.

Finally, the jump track advances, and reaches autojump! Destinations have been sent to the Admiral. Admiral Cain, when you're ready, please post your choice.

The Admiral has chosen: the fleet has headed to a Barren Planet. Barren? Perhaps not entirely. In fact, the fleet might just be able to settle here. The fleet has reached 7 Distance, and New Caprica!

That concludes Roslin's turn. Dee has opted to draw 1 Red and 1 Treachery. Her turn will begin shortly.

Dee has left COs: She activates the Occupation Authority. First, she activates 1 occupation force. With no occupation forces on the board, one appears at the Occupation Authority. Next, an OF is added to the Occupation Authority. Everyone, say hi to the danger twins, Helio! and Natasha.

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

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

BSG (New Roslica)

Holy frak, I can't believe we actually made it to New Caprica.

Okay, we need to destroy the Occupation Forces, and we need to prepare all four of those civvies, even though one is a decoy.

Boomer, just so you know, if you have another Maximum Firepower, it lets you reroll when attacking OFs. And if we play an SP, it goes on both rolls, just like other rerolls. So we need to roll well and get someone in the Shipyard to XO.

It will take four OA activations for them to destroy ships. So that'll be at the end of my turn, probably. I'm not sure whether we should attack first or prepare ships first. Thing is, we can't afford to lose a single civvie. Well, one. But we can't count on that.

As the President, I should be in OA, but my Quorum cards are going to be pretty useless now, for the most part. But if we have one person in three of the four locations, we can be set up for XOs.
