Thank you, President Roslin! You can count on my vote whenever you need it.

I move to the Hangar Deck and launch into Sector 5. And, heck, fortune favors the bold, I'll use that bonus action to move to Sector 4.

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

BSG

And, heck, fortune favors the bold

It does indeed, by giving them something to do. Roslin's crisis is:

Boarding Parties
Cylon Attack

The heavy raider activation does nothing, but the next one certainly will. That concludes Roslin's turn. Cally's cards are going out. Cally, 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

Sector 5: 1 RSV, Civilians A B

Aren't there more civvies?

Well, let's hope we jump away soon, guys!

Yikes. Well, that changes our immediate outlook considerably.

Eta: you still looking for input on what to do, Cally? Because there are a lot of possibilities.

I'm open to input/suggestions (as long as you aren't a secret Cylon...)

Can you XO Baltar to fire on the basestar? Or maybe the heavies?

I'm certified human! Certified by Dr. Baltar, so I could understand some skepticism, but in this case he's correct.

Anyway, your options. Jumping soon has become more important as we do not want to bring Centurions with us when we jump (as will happen if any of those Heavy Raiders make it on board). You could activate the Engine Room and get us closer to Autojumping. That's a gamble because if your crisis already has a jump icon we don't get an extra one, but everything in this game is a gamble.

You could also more to FTL to be ready to make us jump early and XO someone else to shoot some of those cylons (I would not be the best choice for that as I don't have powerful cards right now. Shoot, and we have no one stationed in Command, which would've been handy. Maybe Tigh to shoot at the basestar or Baltar to get somewhere useful. Or Roslin to work some Quorum magic. And maybe you should move to Command instead of FTL.

I can throw out some more confusing and contradictory possibilities!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (the good sick Doctor)

I support this option. Being in Sickbay hurts everyone in times of crisis... and this is a crisis!!

BSG Cally

Sorry Baltar, you are going to have to stew in sick bay for awhile.

Since this is my first turn, I'm going to be a little brash --

Cally moves to Command and activates a viper sending it to Sector One.

(Hopefully that's not a totally stupid move that messes us up, but launching vipers looks like fun and I wanted to try it).
