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

First things first, I neglected to mention that Baltar takes Purple for his Delusional Intuition.

Baltar's pleas that the raptor be sacrificed "to make it look like an accident" go unheeded. He bears the brunt of the extrication process. When news of how he landed in Sickbay spreads, Morale drops.

Next, the basestar activates, possibly outraged at the abuse of innocent machinery:

Die roll: 5. Hit! Baltar has left COs for Pegasus to be damaged. Pegasus CIC is hit.

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Baltar's turn. Dee's cards are going out. Dee, 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 (In-Dee-cisive)

So I thought I would just Comms some civvies, but I was wondering whether an XO to Starbuck to get in the sky or an XO to Tigh to fire on the basestar would be better. We have a little time before the Raiders attack, and I will be here and ready for an XO. Any thoughts?

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

BSG (Tigh a little tenderness)

I think Starbuck may be able to do more with an XO than I could. Let me check my cards.

...later, that same day...

If I destroy the basestar I might be able to raise morale.

After that I could scout a deck. I'm thinking we'd rather get a pilot in the sky.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG (Pass the Starbuck)

I would rather be flying than not, of course. I don't like those civvies hanging out there by themselves. They are safe from raider activations for a little while, unless more raiders suddenly show up...

BSG (Starbuckaroo Banzai)

I launch into Sector 5 and move to Sector 4

Hi civilians!

Unfortunately I don't think I have another action to take.

You could move to Sector 3, I guess. Or back to Sector 5.

Hm, no I think I'll stay here with my peeps.

Look at that, Starbuck's hogging all the peeps. What if someone else wanted some peeps? Such as, and I'm just throwing this out there, the Cylon fleet? Starbuck's crisis is:

Heavy Assault
Cylon Attack

First, the raiders move in a peep-ward direction. Dee now has some choices to make, so we'll pause for her to do so.
