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

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

Zombie Mode is hard. I finally had to ask D's help clearing one of the cemeteries.

Our wings are not tired

So sorry about the delay!

I choose OPTION 2

Roslin orders Tigh to release his stash of Hostess cupcakes to the masses! In the ensuing slap-fight, Tigh discards:

Guts and Initiative 1
Launch Scout 1
Launch Scout 1

Rosin discards:

Red Tape 0
Iron Will 0

What next? Oh, I get to shoot at some RSVs! The order doesn't really matter, so let's start with Sector 6, where we have four raiders against a lone RSV:

Raider 1: 5. Viper damaged! The remaining raiders have the choice of chasing the lone civvie in Sector 1, or joining in the main action in Sector 5. Being simple creatures, they move clockwise to Sector 1.

In Sector 5, we have five raiders against two RSVs:

Raider 1: 8. Viper destroyed!
b Raider 2: 8. Viper destroyed!
Ooh, that smarts. The other three raiders get their pick of civvies to destroy. Wait, Tigh is current player. They get his pick of civvies to destroy. Admiral Tigh, please choose three civvies from the selection in Sector 5 (A B C D E F and H) for immediate boomage.

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

BSG (Dee-pressed)

FOR FRAK'S SAKE VIPERS WHAT IS YOUR DEAL.

Tigh, I recommend you choose B, C, and D.

Also, I know you really want to be let out of Sickbay, Baltar, but Sector 5 is going to be a bloodbath on the next Raider activation unless we either get those civvies out of there or give them protection. An XO to Baltar could only get 2 RSVs out there, whereas an XO to Cally could get 4 out there.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Cally-ed to Duty)

Why Vipers? why?

Send me where I need to go and I will do whatever I can.

BSG (Dee-cisive)

If Six decides to XO you, stay where you are and activate Command twice to launch 4 RSVs into Sector 5. This will ensure that at most one civvie will be harmed in the next Raider activation and hopefully give us time to auto-jump. Unfortunately, it's not a good idea to use the RSVs to shoot at the Raiders since they're getting -2 on attacks now.

Another option is to XO Starbuck out of Sickbay to shoot at a Raider, but I think she's out of Piloting cards, so the Raider activation is likely to just send her back to Sickbay and destroy more civvies.

We're going to have a lot of Vipers to repair. And Pegasus. Wish Baltar could get his full card draw.
