Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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

BSG

I show I have (6) cards. I used one to XO Kat out of sickbay.

Your records are correct. I've amended the summary.

So sorry for the delay.

I've got an XO just waiting to be used. Apollo is an option, but it's risky because that gives two turns back to back and we don't know who's a toaster at this point. I could also go with Kat, and let her do some damage. Any thoughts?

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

Another option would be weapons or nukes to clear the air of some basestars.

2 turns in a row would be risky.

Thrive to spite them

BSG (Apollo)

Kat could be a toaster! Think about how much stuff I could shoot down if I had 2 turns.

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

BSG (Kat Is Not a Toaster!)

Think about how much stuff I could shoot down if I had 2 turns.

Not a lot? You have to use up a whole XO just to get to the Raiders, who could then just send you to Sickbay. Unless you've got some mad Piloting skillz up your sleeve.

At least I could shoot at one Raider. But with that many Raiders, I think Main Batteries is a better option. Or double-whammy on Weapons Control. I'd advise against nukes, since we'll want to save them for New Caprica. It's early yet.

Out of self-interest, I'll suggest Weapons Control also.

BSG(Boom Boom Papa)

Glee!

I fire on the Basestar in Sector 1. If it's destroyed, I fire on the Sector 2 Basestar, otherwise I Fire on Sector 1 again.

ETA: I am, sadly, planless.

BSG (Kat)

As am I.

If it's destroyed

You can't destroy a basestar with one hit from Weapons Control anyway.

BSG

Gaeta plays an SP-3 on the first shot.

Fire 1: 2 + 2 = 4. Miss.
Fire 2: 3. Miss.

If it makes you feel any better, if you'd managed to destroy that basestar we'd just be replacing it anyway. Gaeta's crisis is:

Dogfight
Cylon Attack

The existing raiders move first, to Sector 3. Then we add a bunch of other ships. That concludes Gaeta's turn. Apollo has an optional draw of 2Y/G. Captain Apollo, when you're ready, please post your choice of colours.
