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.

I don't suppose two basestars in one sector could be destroyed by a single nuke. Or could they?
BSG (Dee)
They could not, but it's still better to have them in one place so we don't have Raiders coming from different sectors.
The basestar will be placed in
Sector 1.
The first hit will go to
Pegasus,
and a second, gods forbid, will go to
Galactica.
Glad I got Starbuck in the air! And glad I didn't use Comms. It's much better for me to use Comms now. Obviously, we need to get Baltar out of Sickbay, but an immediate Comms to me would be great so I can rearrange things.
BSG
I don't suppose two basestars in one sector could be destroyed by a single nuke. Or could they?
Under the standard rules, no. However, we are using the variant nukes from the Cylong Fleet module in the Exodus expansion. These nukes destroy everything in the sector (friend or foe) on a roll of 8+. Thereis therefore a chance that you could destroy both basestars with one nuke.
Meanwhile, a new basestar appears in Sector 1. Both basestars immediately fire on the fleet:
Basestar 1: 5. Hit!
Basestar 2: 6. Hit!
Damage damage damage. Dee has opted for one hit to each battlestar. Let's see... On Pegasus, the
Main Batteries
take the hit. On Galactica (these are always more fun) -
Command
is out of commission. Was anyone in there? Ooh, a square hit on Cally! Time for a trip to Sickbay, Ms Henderson.
Awesome. That concludes Dee's turn. Roslin's cards are going out. President Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (eye of the Tigh grr)
yeowch.
Nice to hear about my super powerful nukes, though
BSG (Roslin)
Okay. I have an XO ready to go. The question is who can best use it?
BSG (Starbuck)
Jeez. Either Tigh or Dee could take immediate helpful action, but Cally and Baltar are both in Sickbay. Yeah, I don't know.
BSG (Dee)
I'd like to get some intel and maybe destroy some decoys. I can also scout for a jump icon and no basestar activation.
