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?
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.
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.
BSG
You could move to Sector 3, I guess. Or back to Sector 5.
BSG (Starbuck)
Hm, no I think I'll stay here with my peeps.
BSG
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.
BSG (The Good n Sick Doctor)
I feel Baltar and Morale are more replaceable than Fuel and a Raptor.
I feel... I feel... so... useless AND used. Like I can just be discarded. "Oh, we can just send Gaius to sickbay, he won't care, he can't fly or fight, what's the point of having him". No, it's ok. I will "take one for the team". See. I maybe a selfish twit, but I can be a team player!
He bears the brunt of the extrication process. When news of how he landed in Sickbay spreads, Morale drops.
Really? The whole fleet is saddened by my sudden illness? Maybe I am popular!
That said. As folks wonder what to do, let's not forget that an XO BEFORE my turn helps insure I get a full card draw ON my turn. And since there was concern of twice in a row with my last XO, maybe sooner would be better than later. Just a thought.
