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

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.

Administrative note: Tigh's card draw has exhausted the Tactics deck. I've reshuffled the discards.

Tigh has left COs:

Action: play Executive Order 2 on Dee.

Dee, you have received an XO. You may either move and take an action, or not move and take two actions. You are currently in Sickbay. When you're ready, please post your orders.

1 Population, 1 Fuel

FRAK. Fuel is hard to recover. Ergh. Let's get to New Caprica fast.

Starbuck has saved the civvies, but still lands in Sickbay, Galactica's swinging hotspot.

Aah, a valiant sacrifice!

Well. That could have gone better.

Indeed.

I move to Comms and activate Comms.

EVERYBODY LISTEN UP THIS IS A FRAKKING EMERGENCY.

It certainly could. I only got to blow up one ship!

Ships' manifests sent. Dee, when you're ready, please post where to move them.

BSG (Dee-fensive)

All right, here are your orders!

Civvies A, B, C, and D: Move to Sector 5, you fools. You need cover.

Civvies E and H: Remain in Sector 5. You need cover.

Civvie F: Move to Sector 5. You need cover.

Civvie I: Move to Sector 1. Draw their fire. Your valiant sacrifice will not be forgotten.

You guys are really lucky I'm not a Cylon. If you have to choose which civvies get destroyed in an attack, please consult me. We could be in serious trouble. Somebody either get Starbuck in Sector 5 or launch a shitload of RSVs in there. It's going to be brutal.
