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

BSG (the good sick Doctor)

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

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

Thrive to spite them

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).

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

BSG

The fleet now has cover from both directions, which may be just as well because the Cylons have you:

Surrounded
Cylon Attack

This card opens by activating basestars.

Die roll: 4. Hit! Cally, as current player it's your choice: did they hit Galactica or Pegasus?

Finally, due to this card's special rule, the current player must discard three cards. Cally, when you're ready, please post your choice of discards.

BSG Cally

um...oops?

Pegasus gets the hit. I'll discard 2B/1P

The Engine Room is damaged. Cally's discards are:

Launch Scout 1
Repair 1
Repair 1

That concludes Cally's turn. Starbuck has opted for Green as her optional draw. Cards are going out now. Starbuck, when you're ready, please post your move and action. A reminder: as you start your turn piloting a viper, you may move and take two actions this turn.

BSG

Frak, two Cylon Attacks in a row! That's unpleasant.

Well, my fellow humans, I've pretty much got defensive cards, which could certainly come in handy, but haven't equipped me well for exciting fireworks. Somebody want to jump us out of here, or should we try to maneuver around a little longer?

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

BSG (Dee-fensive)

Do you have an XO? You can move to Sector 5, and then I can move everyone there. And then if one has to get destroyed, I can advise on which. We can lose Pop from ships, but we don't want to lose it from early jumps.

BSG (Thrace the Music)

That is pretty persuasive. But if you're a cylon it would be an excellent opportunity for you to do a lot of damage. Maybe I'd be better off having Tigh nuke something.

SO MANY CYLONS! SO MANY CIVILIANS!

BSG(Sixsational)

Doubling what P-C said. Remember, with New Caprica, Pop losses from lost ships are less critical than from other sources.
