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.
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.
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.

Well, we know how to fix that problem. I hope I draw repair for my one. I left co's for blue. Ye gads that's a blood bath. Was that Scar out there or something???
BSG (Tigh)
I trust Dee.
So long
B C & D
it was nice knowing you.

I trust Dee. So long B C & D it was nice knowing you.
Can we ever truly know another person? At least we can know how many people we're talking about. Each of the destroyed ships contained 1 Population; Population falls by 3.
Finally, the jump prep track advances by 1. That concludes Tigh's turn. While Six is infiltrating, she may draw three cards, and has opted for 2 Green/1 Blue. Caprica Six, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Relax Gaius.....you can do this.....remember what I told you about your hands.
Baltar has an
Intimate
vision of Six in his sickbed, and finds himself a little more
Blue
afterward.
Meanwhile, Callandra gets orders from a very unexpected corner:
XO-1 on Cally.
BSG (Tweedle-Dee)
Oh, that was bad advice. I should have told you to XO me so I could move all the civvies to Sector 3. That would keep them safe without damaging more Vipers. I...also did not realize we only had 2 Vipers left, what the hell. Frak, launch them both and fire on the Raiders, I guess? Aargh.
