And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Even if I have to discard, most of the civvies should be okay this activation. Can't see what to do about G over there. Sorry, guys.

The Raider activation after this one is going to be ugly, though. Draw an XO, Tigh!

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

BSG (Tigh alai)

Yeowch. I'm thinking we need to take option 2.

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

BSG (Dee-spondent)

Yeah, but I think the time is passed. We maybe should have buried that second attack. Burying this card may get us something worse.

I plan to XO Dee if I can. Any advice for if I (fingers crossed, heaven forbid, etc.) don't draw an XO?

Move to Communications yourself and get the civvies out of Sector 6? Or Command and make some RSVs live up to their nickname?

I think launching RSVs into Sector 6 is a good option. The Raiders will be there already, so the civvies will need cover. Or move the civvies to Sector 1. I think it would be best not to consolidate the civvies at this point because that will ALSO consolidate the Raiders. We have to keep making them change direction so they don't have a chance to actually attack.

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

BSG (Gaius to victory)

I concur with the launch option. We have to defend the civvies. Population will be an issue when we get to New Caprica. RSV's to the rescue!!

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

The word has come down from on high. Roslin chooises option 2. I have COs for discards from Roslin and Starbuck. Roslin discards:

Red Tape 0
Iron Will 0

Starbuck discards:

At Any Cost 3
Launch Scout 1
Evasive Maneouvre 1

Next up, the raiders activate. The raiders in Sector 1 move to Sector 6. In Sector 3, one raider destroys civvie G while the others move to Sector 4. Civvie G contained:

1 Population, 1 Fuel

The three raiders already in Sector 4 open fire on Starbuck!

Raider 1: 5. Hit! But Starbuck plays an EM-1:
Raider 1a: 4 - 2 = 2. Miss.
Raider 2: 6. Hit!
Starbuck produces another EM-1:
Raider 2a: 6 - 2 = 4. Miss.
Raider 3: 8. Viper destroyed!
Starbuck isn't finished. She deploys an EM-2.
Raider 3a: 8 - 2 = 6. Hit! Starbuck has saved the civvies, but still lands in Sickbay, Galactica's swinging hotspot.

Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Starbuck's turn. Tigh's cards are going out. Admiral Tigh, when you're ready, please post your move and action.
